Joint Classifications by Tissue Type Flashcards
Classification by type of tissue in articulation
- Fibrous
- Cartilaginous
- Synovial
Joint classification by type of tissue with no/limited movement
Fibrous
Joint classification by type of tissue where bones are connected by connective tissue
Fibrous
Joint classification by type of tissue which are slightly moveable
Cartilaginous
Joint classification by type of tissue where bones are connected by cartilage
Cartilaginous
Joint classification by type of tissue which are highly moveable
Synovial
Joint classification by type of tissue where bones are lined with cartilage, surrounded by cavitated CT filled with synovial fluid
Synovial
Suture tissue type
Fibrous
Where are sutures confined to?
Cranium
What are the bones of the sutures connected by
Collagenous sutural ligaments (sharpey’s fibers)
Function of sutures
Shock absorption
Gomphosis tissue type
Fibrous
What are the bones of gomphosis joints connected by?
Cartilaginous periodontal ligament-dental cementum
Function of gomphosis
