Joints Flashcards
3 type sof joints
synovial, fibrous and cartilagenous
parts of synovial joints
articular capsule made up of the fibrous capsule and synovial memrbane,, articular hyaline cartilage, joint cavity with synovila lfuid
movment allowed by synovial joints
free movement, very common
hinge joints
allow movement in one plane around on e axis, allow for flexiona nd extension only
elbow
plane /gliding joint
gliding or sliding movement, uniaxial
condyloid joint
biaxial with axis perpendicular to each other, movement in one axis is freer
knuckles
saddle joints
biaxial, opposing surfaces shaped like a saddle, base of thumb
ball and socket joint
multiaxial, spheroidal surface of one bone moves in the socket of another, head of femur in pelvis
pivot joints
uniaxial and allow rotation, rotation of forearm
fibrous joints
united by fibrous tissue, range of movement depedns on length of fibres,
syndesmosis in fibrous joints
type of fibrous joint that unites the bones with a sheath of fibrous tissue
gomphosis (dentoalveolar syndesmosis)
type of fibrous joint where a peg like process fits into a socket articulation between the root of the tooth and alveolar process
cartilagenou sjoints
uunited by hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage
primary cart joints: synchondroses (hyaline cart)
secondary cart joints; symphyses (fibrocartilage)
blood supply for joints
blood supply from articular arteries that arise from blood vessels around the joint. these foten join to fomr arterial articular networks—anastomoses
