Q

Name + define the 3 types of synovial ligaments based on their location

A

Extrinsic - outside joint capsule
Intrinsic - in/on joint capsule
Intracapsular - in synovial cavity

17
Q

Extrinsic joint example

A

LCL of knee (lat. collat. Lig.)

18
Q

Intrinsic joint examples

A

Ischiofemoral + pubofermoral ligaments of the hip

19
Q

Intracapsular joint examples

A

ACL/PCL of knee; ligamentum teres of hip

20
Q

What are fat pads? What is their function?

A

Adipose w/in joint capsule
Cushion the articulation (e.g. hip)

21
Q

What are fibrocartilaginous discs? What is their function? Give some examples of joints containing these.

A

Menisci
Disperse weight + remove friction during movement
(E.g. knee, sternoclavicular)

22
Q

What are some additional synovial features?

A

Fat pads, fibrocartilaginous discs

23
Q

Name + define the 7 types of synovial joints based on their surfaces + ROM

A

Plane - apposing flat surfaces
Ginglymus (hinge) - uniaxial, 1˚freedom
Trochoid (pivot) - uniaxial rot.
Bicondyloid - mostly uniaxial, ~rot.
Ellipsoid (condyloid) - biaxial
Sellar - multiaxial
Spheroidal (ball+socket) - multiaxial, 3˚freedom

24

Zygapophyseal (facet joints)

25
Q

Example of Ginglymus joints

A

Elbow

26
Q

Femoral condyles + tibial plateu; temperomandibular, atlantooccipital

28
Q

Define + give examples of Ellipsoid joints

A

E.g. distal radius w/ scaphoid; lunate wrist

29
Q

A

2 saddles articulate
E.g. pollical carpometacarpal (thumb)

30
Q

Examples of Spheroidal joints

A

Glenohumoral; hip
