Joint Structure and Function Flashcards
What does you need proximal stability for distal mobility mean
You have to have a stable base before you can move
What is dynamic stability
Stability in joints while we move on a fluid manor
What does open mean
Freedom
What does close mean
Fix
What is an open kinematic chain
Distal joint segment is free to move while the proximal segment provides stability
What is a closed kinematic chain
Distal joint segment is fixed/inhibited while the proximal segments are allowed to move on the stable distal segment
What determines the function of human joints
Structure
Development of all anatomical tissues is also determined by what
The stresses applied to these tissues
What ultimately determine the function of each joint (4)
- Shapes of body surfaces
- Location of ligament
- Muscle attachment
- Fiber orientations
If a joint is stable what is its design
Simple
If a joint is mobile what is its design
Complex
What is joint transegrity
Joints in our body have mobility & stability just in varying amounts
What are the 2 broad categories of arthroses
- Synarthroses/synarthrodial
2. Diarthroses/diarthrodial
Are synarthroses/synarthrodial joints synovial or nonsynovial
Nonsynovial
Are diarthroses/diarthrodial joints synovial or nonsynovial
Synovial
What are the 2 categories of synarthroses
- Fibrous
2. Cartilaginous
What are the 3 types of fibrous joints
- Sutures
- Gomphoses
- Syndesmoses
What is a suture joint
Bone united via collagenous sutural ligament or membrane
Where do sutures occur
Only in the skull
What is a gomphosis joint
Surfaces adapted like a peg in a hole connected via fibrous tissue
Where are gomphosis joints found
Between teeth and mandible only
What are syndesmosis joints
Bones joined directly by an interosseous ligament or cord or aponeurotic membrane
What are examples of syndesmosis
Between radius and ulna and tibia and fibula
What are the 2 types of cartilaginous joints
- Symphysis joint
2. Synchondrosis joint
