34
Q

Bare areas

A

Where synovial membrane is in direct contact with intra-articular bone not covered w/hyaline cartilage

35
Q

what is the problem with bare areas

A

Predisposed for bone erosion from synovial disease

36
Q

do all joints have fat pads

A
  • Some not all joints have fat pads
37
Q

Fat pads

A

Accumulations of adipose tissue closely associated with synovial membranes forming flexible cushions and filling in joint spaces

38
Q

location of fat pads normally

A

Normally under the tendon so muscle can move w/o being uncomfortable

39
Q

Synovial Fluid function

A

Functions to provide liquid environment with narrow pH range for joint surfaces

Nutritive source for articular cartilage, discs and menisci

Lubricant to increase joint efficiency and reduce surface erosion

overall: Provides lubrication and nutrition

40
Q

Articular Discs or Menisci

A

Fibrocartilage structures intervening between articulating structures where congruity is low

41
Q

Articular Discs or Menisci example

A

EX: the knee joint, improve connection between bony surfaces

42
Q

Articular Discs/Menisci function

A

Assist in shock absorption

Improve fit between joint surfaces

Distribute weight over larger surface

Protect edges of articular surfaces

Limit translational movements

Facilitate rolling movements

43
Q

Labrum made out of what

A

Fibrocartilaginous

44
Q

Labrum local

A

Forms annular lip

Attached at margins of articular surfaces in some synovial jts (glenoid, acetabular)

45
Q

what is the labrum

A

rim of soft tissue or fibrous cartilage that surrounds the socket of a ball and socket joint to make it more stable

Deepens sockets and increases area of contact between articular surfaces

46
Q

is the labrum compressed

A

no

47
Q

how do classify joints

A

Based on shapes of articular surfaces and on degrees of freedom of movement (uniaxial, biaxial, multiaxial)

48
Q

Plane Joints

A

Apposition of fairly flat articular surfaces

49
Q

Plane Joints movement

A

translatory motion

Translatory-gliding/Sliding

not a lot of movement seen

50
Q
