joint structure and muscle function Flashcards
what is Wolff’s Law?
bones will adapt based on stress or demands placed on them
what are the structure types of joints?
fibrous, cartilaginous, or synovial
what are the movement types of joints?
synarthrosis, amphiarthrosis, and diarthrosis
synarthrosis
nearly immobile joint (sutures in the skull)
amphiarthrosis
joint with limited mobility (balances with stability and mobility such as the spine)
diarthrosis
wide range of motion in multiple directions
fibrous joints
joined together by fibrous interosseous connect tissue
suture joit
bone edges interlock one another
frontal and parietal bones of skull early in life
gomphosis joint
peg in a hole joint
a tooth and either mandible or maxilla
syndesmosis
jointed by interosseous ligament
radius and ulna, tibia and fibula
synovial joints
no connective tissue directly unites bony surface
function of the inner synovial layer
provides lubrication, vascularization, and nutrition to cartilage
outer fibrous layer
dense irregular connective tissue with varying thickness
poor vascularity, good innervation
joint receptors:
stretch, usually at extremes of extension
ruffini
joint receptors:
compression or changes in hydrostatic pressure and joint movement
pacini or pacini form
joint receptors:
pressure and forceful joint motion into extremes of motion
golgi, golgi-mazzoni
joint receptors:
non-noxious and noxious mechanical stress or biomechanical stress
unmyelinated free nerve endings
synovial fluid:
hyaluronate
viscosity of fluid and essential for lubrication; synovial folds
synovial fluid:
lubricin
cartilage on cartilage lubrication
improve joint congruence, absorb compressive joint forces,
increase joint stability
menisci
labrums
discs
align joint surfaces, guide or restrain motion
ligaments
transmit forces developed by muscles for motion, active joint stabilization
tendon
what does a bursae do?
decrease friction
uniaxial joints and examples
hinge joint: humeroulnar
pivot joint: proximal radioulnar joint
