joints Flashcards
the three types of structural joints
fibrous joints, cartilaginous joints, synovial joints
the three types of functional joints
synarthroses, amphiarthroses, diarthroses
the joint that lacks a joint cavity and is held together by dense regular connective tissue
fibrous joint
the joint that lacks a joint cavity and the bones are joined together by cartilage
cartilaginous joints
these joints HAVE A FLUID FILLED JOINT CAVITY
synovial joints
immovable joints
synarthroses
slightly moveable joints
amphiarthroses
freely moveable joints
diarthroses
the three types of fibrous joints
gomophoses, sutures, syndesmoses
example of gomophoses
articulations of the root of the individual teeth with the sockets of the mandible and the maxilla
gomophoses are functionally classified as
synarthroses
a tooth is firmly held in place by fibrous ____ _____
periodontal ligaments
example of sutures
the sutures of the skull
sutures are functionally classified as
synarthroses
when sutures ossify they are called
synostoses
example of syndesmoses
interosseous membrane
fibrous joints in which articulating bones are joined by long strands of dense regular connective tissue only
syndesmoses
syndesmoses are functionally classified as
amphiarthroses
the two types of cartilaginous joints
synchondroses and symphyses
example of synchondroses
epiphyseal growth plates
the type of cartilage in synchondroses
hyalin
synchondroses are functionally classified as
synarthroses
the type of cartilage symphyses have
fibrocartilage
example of a symphysis
pupic symphysis, intervertebral joints formed by the bodies of adjacent vertebrae and intervertebral discs
