Q

Fibrous Joints

A

joined by dense fibrous connective tissue, no joint cavity, most are immovable, movement depends on length of tissue fibers, three types sutures, syndesmoses and gomphoses

Q

structure of joint

A

material binding bones together, depends on presences or absence of joint, three types fibrous joints, carilaginous joints and synovial joints

Q

synovial joints

A

where articulating bones are separated by fluid containing joint cavity, permits freedom of movement, consist of most joints of the limbs and most of the body, 6 distingushing features

19
Q

Articular cartilage

A

absorb compression, prevents crushing of bone ends

20
Q

Joint (articular) cavity

A

small, synovial fluid filled potential space

21
Q

articular capsule

A

two layers, external fibrous layer of dense irregular connective tissue. inner synovial membrain has loose connective tissue and makes synovial fluid

22
Q

synovial fluid

A

viscous, slippery filtrate of plasma and hyaluronic acid, lubricates and nourishes articular cartilage, contains phagocytic cells to remove microbes and debris

23
Q

Reinforcing Ligaments

A

three types: capsular a thickend part of fibrous layer, Extracapsualr outside the capsule, Intracapsular deep to capsule covered by the synovial membrane

24
Q

Nerves and Blood vessels

A

nerve fibers detect pain, monitor joint position and stretch, capillary beds supply filtrate for synovial fluid

25
Fatty pads
for suchinging between fibrous layer and synovial membrane or bone
26
articular discs
fibrocartilage spearates articular surfaces to improve the fit of bone ends, it stabilizes the joint and reduces wear and tear
27
bursae
sacs lined with synovial membrane and contains synovial fluid, reduces friction where ligaments, muscles skin, tendons and bones rub together
28
Tendon sheaths
elongated bursa wrapped completely around tendon subjected to friction
29
Three stabilizing factors at synovial joints
shapes of articular surfaces(least important), ligaments number and location, muscle tendons that cross joints (most important)
30
Movement allowed by snyovial joints
all muscle is attched to bone or other connective tissue at no fewer than two points. the origin is attached to the immovable (or less moveable) bone the insertion is attached to the movable bone. muscle contractions cause insertions to move toward the origin. movements occur along trasverse frongtal or sagittal planes
31
Nonaxial range of motion
slipping movements only
32
uniaxial range of motion
movements in one plane
33
biaxial range of motion
movement in two planes
34
multiaxial range of motion
movement in or around all three planes
35
shoulder joint
ball and socket joint the head of the humerous with the glenoid cavity of the scapula, most freely moving joint of the body
36
shoulder joint
has reinforcing ligaments, reinforcing muscle tendons, has four rotator cuff tendons encircle the shoulder joint
37
common joint injuries
cartilage tears, due to compression and shear stress, cartilage rarely repairs it self. Sprains where reinforcing ligaments are stretched or torn, partial tears slowly heal due to poor vascularization, Dislocation where the bone is forced out of alignment and subluxtion which is only partial dislocation of the joint
38
Brusitis
inflammation of the bursa caused by a blow or friction
39
tendonitis
inflammation of the tendon sheath cause by overuse
40
Arthritis
``` >100 different types of inflammatory or degenerative diseases that damage joints Most widespread crippling disease in the U.S. Symptoms: pain, stiffness, and swelling of joint Acute forms: caused by bacteria, treated with antibiotics Chronic forms: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gouty arthritis ```
41
Osteoarthritis
``` Common, irreversible, degenerative (''wear and tear'') arthritis May reflect excessive release of enzymes that break down articular cartilage By age 85 half of Americans develop OA, more women than men Probably related to normal aging processMore cartilage is destroyed than replaced in badly aligned or overworked joints Exposed bone ends thicken, enlarge, form bone spurs, and restrict movement Treatment: moderate activity, mild pain relievers, capsaicin creams Glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, and nutritional supplements not effective ```
42
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune disease of unknown cause Immune system attacks own cells Usually arises between ages 40 and 50, but may occur at any age; affects 3 times as many women as men Signs and symptoms include joint pain and swelling (usually bilateral), anemia, osteoporosis, muscle weakness, and ardiovascular problems begins with synovitis of the affected joint Inflammatory blood cells migrate to joint, release inflammatory chemicals that destroy tissues Synovial fluid accumulates joint swelling and inflamed synovial membrane which thickens pannus that clings to articular cartilage Pannus erodes cartilage, scar tissue forms and connects articulating bone ends (ankylosi)
43
Treatment for Rheumatoid arthritis
Disrupt destruction of joints by immune system Steroidal and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs decrease pain and inflammation Immune suppressants slow autoimmune reaction Some agents target tumor necrosis factor to block action of inflammatory chemicals Can replace joint with prosthesis
44
Gouty Arthritis
Deposition of uric acid crystals in joints and soft tissues, followed by inflammation More common in men Typically affects joint at base of great toe In untreated gouty arthritis, bone ends fuse and immobilize joint Treatment: drugs, plenty of water, avoidance of alcohol
