Intro To Arthrology Flashcards
Uniaxial:
Biaxial:
Multiaxial:
Axis of movement:
- one
- two
- multiple
Types of joints:
- Fibrous -
- Sutures
- Syndesmosis
- Cartilaginous
- Synovial
Fibrous joint:
The degree of movement at joint is determined by the amount of fibrous tissue between the two joint surfaces
Sutures:
Skull plates. Limited movement after 2+ years
Syndesmosis joint:
Bones connected by sheet of fibrous tissue.
Ex. Forearm bones
Cartilaginous joint:
Connected by cartilage or combo w/fibrous tissue.
Ex. Ribs to breastbone
Vertebrae are connected by fibrocartilagenous intervertebral discs
Synovial Joint:
3 features:
- Articular cartilage
- Joint capsule
- Joint cavity
Articular cavity of synovial joints:
- whitish CT
- protects inferior bone
- absorbs shock
- no nerves or blood
- hyaline cartilage
Synovial joint capsule:
- surrounds and lines the joint
- makes synovial fluid within joint
- minimizes friction between joints
Synovial joint cavity:
Space between two joint surfaces
6 types of synovial joint:
- Condyloid
- biaxial
- flexión/extensión
- abduction/addiction
Ex. Knuckles
6 types of synovial joint:
- Saddle
- biaxial
- concave/convex articulate together
Ex. Thumb
6 types of synovial joint:
- Ball and socket
- multiaxial
Ex. Hip
6 types of synovial joint:
- Plane
- gliding/sliding movements
- flat surfaces
- uniaxial
Ex. Foot/hand
6 types of synovial joint:
- Pivot
- uniaxial
- rotation
Ex. C1-C2 - Atlas/Axis
