Funtional Classification Flashcards
Synarthrotic
Immovable joint
Amphiarthrotic
Slightly movable
Diarthroric
Freely movable
Synathrosis
- Tough edges or interlock
- May fuse over time
4 types of Synarthrosis
Suture - in the skull
Gomphosis - binds teeth in sockets
Synchondrosis - epiphysis, ribs to sternum
Synostosis - fused epiphysis
Amphiarthrosis
- Slightly moveable
2 types of Amphiarthrosis
- Syndesmosis - ligamentous connection; connection between tibia and fibula
- Symphysis - pubic symphysis
Diarthrosis
- Freely movable
- Synovial joints
- At the ends of long bones
- Articulates capsules
- Articulates cartilage = hyaline cartilage
Synovial Fluid
- Provides lubrication
- Shock absorbing
- Nutrient transport
Accessory structures of a synovial joint
Meniscus, fat pads, ligaments, tendons, bursae
Meniscus
Fibrocartilage
Fat pads
Superficial to capsule
Where are tendons in the synovial joint?
Pass around it
Bursae
Pockets of synovial fluid (provides protection to the bone)
Luxation
Complete displacement of a joint
Subluxation
Partial displacement of a joint
What are the 3 types of movements at synovial joints?
- Gliding
- Angular motion
- Rotation
What is gliding?
Linear movement; carpal and tarsal bones
What are the 6 types of angular motion?
- Flexion
- Extension
- Hyperextension
- Abduction
- Adduction
- Circumduction
What are the 4 types of rotating motion?
Medial, lateral, pronation, and supination
Flexion
Reduces angle
Extension
Increases angle
Abduction
Moves away
Adduction
Moves toward
