Joints Flashcards
component of the joints
bone, cartilage, ligament, tendon, fascia
what is the function joints
Provides stability
Permits motion
what is a joint
The part of the body where two or more bones meet to allow movement
Synarthroses are what type of joint
more stable of joints
Synarthroses two types
Fibrous Joints
Cartilaginous Joints
Fibrous Joints types
sutures, syndesmoses, gomphoses
Cartilaginous Joints types
symphyses, synchondroses
Diarthroses are what type of joint
freely moveable joints, normally call synovial
Most joints in the body
Diarthroses types
Synovial Joints
Sutures
Synarthroses - fibrous joint
Limited to skull
skull bone separation during growth
bones are separated by zone of CT - sutural ligament
originally connect by connective tissue
what does the skull look like when growth is complete
osteogenic cells create rigid synostosis (2nd or 3rd decade of life)
Syndesmoses
Ligament between the bones - an immovable joint in which bones are joined by connective tissue
Synarthroses - fibrous
Syndesmoses joint degree of movement
Allows small degree of movement
example of Syndesmoses
Distal tibiofibular jt
where is Syndesmoses normally found
in the limbs
Symphyses type of joint
Synarthroses
Cartilaginous Joints
Symphyses motion
Ltd motion allowed by deformation of connecting fibrocartilaginous disc
Amount of motion depends on thickness of disc - thicker less movment
Examples of Symphyses
IV jt, pubic symphysis, manubriosternal jt
Synchondroses type of joint
Synarthroses. Cartilaginous Joints
what is Synchondroses
Temporary cartilaginous (hyaline) joints between diaphysis and epiphysis
Synchondroses seen in what pop
Only in kids not in adults, the line separating the p-line
Goes away when the growth plate Fuses
Fibrous Capsule role
Forms link between bones
Fibrous Capsule is continuous with
adjacent periosteum
what is the Fibrous Capsule mad up of
Interlacing bundles of collagen
what are Capsular ligaments
Thickenings where fiber bundles run parallel to each other
present within the capsules of the joints
serve to enhance the strength of the articular capsule.
Joint capsule two parts
Outer fibrous (capsule) layer or membrane
Inner synovial layer or membrane.
Subchondral Bone Plate location
Lies beneath articular cartilage
Consists of layer of underlying trabecular bone
order:
articular cartilage
subchondral bone
trabecular bone
Subchondral Bone Plate activity
Metabolically active with abundant blood supply
where the periosteum
- Periosteum everywhere expect articulation
Synovial Membrane composed of
Loose vascular CT
where is the Synovial Membrane
Lines on the non-articular parts of synovial joints
Adherent to capsule and non-articular bone
purposes of Synovial Membrane
Secretes and absorbs synovial fluid
Synovial fluid has nutrition for tissues in the joint
