Joint Types Introduction - Cartilagenous Joints Flashcards
What type of cartilage joint is shown?
These two examples are synchondroses, or joints that
contain a plate of hyaline cartilage.
Give the specific names for these two examples of synchondroses.
Left= Epiphyseal Growth Plate (also known as metaphysis)
Right= 1st Sternocostal joint (costal cartilage connecting rib to sternum)
What kind of movement occurs at this joint type & what term applies to
this?
No movement occurs‐‐‐These are synarthrotic.
The epiphyseal growth plate (metaphysis) is an example of a joint that
fuses the two bone pieces into a single piece.
What has the joint become when this happens?
A joint that fuses together is called a synostosis.
What type of cartilage joint is shown?
These two examples are symphyses, or joints joined by
a plate of fibrocartilage.
Give the specific names for these two examples.
Left= Intervertebral Discs (between vertebrae)
Right= Symphysis pubis (between pubic bones of hip)
What type of movement occurs at this joint type & what
term applies to this?
These have limited movement or are amphiarthrotic.
