IMMS ANATOMY Flashcards
Coronal plane
Cuts into anterior and posterior
Sagittal plane
Cuts into left and right side
Transverse plane
Cuts into superior and inferior
Axial skeleton parts
Centeral or core parts
skull vertebral columns ribs and sternum
Appendicular skeleton parts
Bones of the limbs incl shoulder blades (scapulae) collar bones (clavicles) and hip bones
What is a joint?
Where two bones meet, the two bones articulate with each other
Three types of joint?
Synovial, fibrous, cartilaginous
Synovial joints
Most common joint, narrow synovial cavity separates articula- surfaces of bones. Cavity contains lubricating synovial fluid, enclosed in a joint capsule - 2 layers, an outer fibrous capsule and an inner synovial membrane. Articulate surfaces covered with articulate hyaline cartilage. Allow great deal of movement ( Knee shoulder and wrist)
Fibrous joints
Connect two bones via strong fibrous tissue. No cavity and no fluid. Usually very little movement (if any). (Joints between individual bones of skull (sutures).
Cartilaginous joints and their substypes
Articular surfaces separated by cartilage instead fibrous of tissue. Primary and secondary cartilaginous
Primary cartilaginous joints
Connected to each other by hyaline cartilages which allows for some flexibility.(stenocostal joints-where ribs meet sternum)
Secondary cartilaginous joints
Joints connected by fibrocartilage a plus a layer of hyaline cartilage covers the particular surfaces of the bones. Flexible but strong t support a lot of weight. ( intervertebral discs between vertebrae of spine)
How many types of synovial joints?
6- ball + socket, hinge, pivot, saddle, condyloid, plane
Ball and socket joint
Ball - shaped end of one bone fig into bowl-shaped socket on the other. Mobile joint and allows significant range of movement in all directions (including rotations). Better fit = more stable but less mobile (hip). Poor fit = less stable and greater risk of dislocation (shoulder)
Hinge joint
Significant range of movement but only in one plane (elbow and knee alloy only flexion and extension)
