Joint Stuff Flashcards
anatomically simple joint
2 bones (surfaces) + 1 capsule
anatomically compound joint
more than 2 joint surfaces
complex joint
has meniscus
mechanically simple joint
moves 3 axes at 90 degree angles to eachother
mechanically compound joint
not right angles to eachother but more oblique axes
unmodified ovoid joint
ball and socket joint
sphere shape
3 axes and 3 degrees of freedom
(hip and shoulder)
modified ovoid
ellipse shape
2 axes, 2 degrees of freedom
(MCP joint)
unmodified sellar joint
saddle joint
2 axes, 2 degrees of freedom
(thumb)
modified sellar joint
hinge joint
1 axis, 1 degree of freedom
(IP, elbow)
fibrous cartilage joint
all move and are not fused
-synarthose
synarthroses
no genuine joint space, no fluid (synovium), divided by tissue in between
fibrous joint is also called a synarthrosis or synarthrodial joint is a point at which adjacent bones are bound by collagen fibers that emerge from one bone, cross the space between them, and penetrate into the other
- syndesmosis (ankle tib and fib)
- synchondrosis (costochondral)
- synostosis (sutures in skull)
syndesmosis
fibrous tissue in between (ankle: tib and fib)
synchondrosis
cartilage in between (costochondral)
synostosis
bony tissue in between (sutures in skull)
diarthrosis
A freely movable joint between bones; all such joints are synovial joints in terms of their structure.
symphyses
half joints, connecting tissue partially fills the joint (pubic symphyses)
synoviales
movable joints
amphiarthrosis: less than 10 degrees of movement
articulations: more than 10 degrees of movement
osteokinematics
movement of the bones
spin and swing
osteokinematics spin
pure rotation around a mechanical axis (IR/ER of long bone)
swing
any movement other than pure spin
cardinal swing-pure swing
arcuate swing-impure swing
cardinal swing
pure swing
the shortest route between two points
arcuate swing
simultaneous with rotation: swing + spin
arthrokinematics
movements within a joint capsule
arthrokinematics spin
rotation around a stationary axis
gliding or sliding
one point on moving surface comes into contact with-new points on a stationary surface
