Q

What is a main function for syndesmoses fibrous joints?

A

They allow greater mobility then sutures.
Ex: the radius and ulna membranes they allow for pronation and supranational of the forearm. Tibia and fibula have the same thing but less motion.

24
Q

What are the four major parts of a synovial joint?

A

Joint cavity
Synovial fluid
Articular cartilage
Joint capsule of CT

25
Q

True or false -

The joint cavity is the narrow space separating bone.

A

True

26
Q

________ fluid is used to lubricate and reduce friction in joints.

A

Synovial fluid

27
Q

What type of cartilage is in synovial joints?

A

Articular cartilage that is made of hyaline cartilage.

28
Q

What makes up the joint capsule?

A

Fibrous capsule

Synovial membrane

29
Q

True or false -

The synovial membrane encloses the cavity and connects to the bone and is continuous with the periostem.

A

False -

The fibrous capsule is connected to the bone and flush with the periostem

30
Q

What is the inner membrane of the joint capsule?

A

Synovial membrane that secretes the synovial fluid.

31
Q

What other structures help synovial joints?

A

Tendons - are tough and are used for stabilizing
Ligaments - connect bone to bone
Bursa - fibrous sac made for cushioning

32
Q

What are bursas? Explain

A

Fibrous sacs that are filled with synovial fluid used to cushion and prevent friction. They are found adjacent to muscles, bone and skin, and where tendons passes over the bone.

33
Q

What is range of motion?

A

The degrees through which joint can move.

34
Q

How is range of motion determined?

A

Structure of articular surfaces
Strength of ligaments and joint capsules - Stretching of ligaments increase the range of motion
Action of the muscles and tendons - nervous system monitors joint position and muscle tone.

35
Q

What are the six types of synovial joints?

A

Multiaxial - ball and socket
Biaxial - condylar, saddle, and plane
Monaxial - hinge, and pivot

36
Q

Explain ball and socket joints

A

In the shoulders and hips, one bone with hemispherical head, and it is the only multiaxial joint in the body

37
Q

Explain condylar joints

A

Oval convex surface on one bone. Fits in complementary depression on the other. It is biaxial think of the phalanges and the metacarpals.

38
Q

Explain saddle joints

A

Made of a saddle shaped surface and is biaxial

39
Q

Explain plane (gliding) joints.

A

Surfaces that are flat or slightly concave and convex. Very complex movements and is usually biaxial

40
Q

Explain hinge joints

A

One bone with a convex surface that is monaxial

41
Q

Explain pivot joints

A

Bone spins on a longitudinal axis and is monoaxial

42
Q

What three joint types are involved with the temporomandibular joint?

A

It is a combination of condylar, hinge and plane joints.

43
Q

Explain the temporomandibluar joint

A

The synovial cavity of the joint is divided into two different chambers, the superior and inferior.
The articular disc allows for lateral and medial excursion.

44
Q

What two ligaments support and join the TMJ and what do they do?

A

Lateral ligament - prevents posterior displacement. Goes from temporal to mandible
Sphenomandible ligament - medial side of jaw. Connects sphenoid to mandible

45
Q

What falls under TMJ syndrome symptoms?

A

Clicking and sounds
Pain from jaw and down the neck, shoulder, and back
Facial pain, severe headaches vertigo, tinnitus (ringing in the ears)

46
Q

What are causes of TMJ syndrome?

A

Psychological tension
Misalignment of teeth –> genetic
Arthritis
Injury

47
Q

What tendons stabilizes the glenohumeral joint together?

A

Bicep brachii tendon (most important) rotator cuff tendons

48
Q

What makes up the rotator cuff?

A

SITS -

Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor, Subscabular

49
Q

How is the glenohumeral joint weak?

A

It is protected on all sides but the most inferior side. This means it can be downwardly displaced which happens when the arm is abducted and then gets pressure from above.

50
Q

What type of joint is the elbow?

A

Hinge joint

51
Q

Explain the articulation of the elbow.

A

It has two articulating surfaces. One being the humeralulnar joint which is the trochlea and the trochlear notch. The other being the humeroradial joint which is the capitulum and the head of the radius.
Both of these articulations are within one joint capsule
Proximal radioulnar joint allows for pronation and supination. This joint is a pivot joint that has articulation at the head of the radius and the radial notch of the ulna. This joint is held together with the annular ligament that encircles the radial head.

52
Q

What stabilizes the knee joint?

A 
Quadriceps tendon (in the front)
Tendon of semimebronosus muscle on the read thigh
Lateral and medial menisci (c shaped cartilage within the joint capsule that absorbs shock and prevents side to side motion)
53
Q

What are the extracapsular ligaments?

A

Fibular collateral ligament

Tibial collateral ligament

54
Q

What are the intracapsular ligaments?

A

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)

Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)

55
Q

Explain the knees ability to lock and unlock and its importance.

A

It is important because we are stand on two legs (bipedalism)
When the knees are fully extended the ACL allows for locking and the femur rotates medially on the tibia, and the major knee ligaments are tight.
To unlock the knee the popliteus contracts and rotates the femur lateral. This lateral rotation of the femur untwists the ligaments

56
Q

What are the major problems with the knee joint?

A

It is vulnerable to rotation and horizontal stress (especially when flexed)
The major injury of the knee is a tare to the ACL. This is a slow healing injury because there is little blow flow to the highly cartilaginous area of the body.

57
Q

What is the difference between autograft and allograft?

A

Autograft is the repairing of the ACL with your own material which would be from the patellar ligament or hamstring tendon.
Allograft is donated material from a donor body.

58
Q

What is the difference between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis?

A

Osteoarthritis is when the articular cartilage starts to deteriorate, and this is the most common kind.
Rheumatoid arthritis is when the synovial membrane becomes inflames and thickens. This often happens from autoimmune diseases.
