Question 6

Joints are classified:

Answer 6

Structurally
Functionally

Question 7

Structural joints

Answer 7

Fibrous – no synovial cavity, bones held together by connective tissue

Cartilagenous – no synovial cavity, bones held together by cartilage

Synovial – synovial cavity, bones held together by an articular capsule

Question 8

Functional Classification: (USED FOR OTHER QUESTIONS)

Answer 8

Synarthrosis – immovable
Amphiarthrosis – slightly movable
Diarthrosis – “freely movable”

Question 9

Fibrous joints - functional classification

Answer 9

Synarthroses
Amphiarthroses

Question 10

Cartilagenous joints - functional classification

Answer 10

Synarthroses
Amphiarthroses

Question 11

Synovial joints - functional classification

Answer 11

Diarthroses

Question 12

Suture (Fibrous joint)

Answer 12

Bones are connected by a thin layer of connective tissue
Only present between the skull bones
Children = Amphiarthrosis (slightly movable)
Adults = Synarthrosis (immovable)

Question 13

Syndesmosis (Fibrous Joints)

Answer 13

Bones are connected by connective tissue that is arranged into a ligament
Examples:
Distal tibiofibular joint
Gomphoses (“teeth joints”)
Amphiarthrosis (slightly movable)

Question 14

Interosseous Membrane (Fibrous Joints)

Answer 14

Bones are connected by a sheet of connective tissue
Present between the radius/ulna and tibia/fibula
Amphiarthrosis (slightly movable)

Question 15

Synchondrosis (Cartilagenous Joints)

Answer 15

Bones are connected by hyaline cartilage (later ossifies into bone)
Example:
1st sternocostal joint (others are synovial)
Epiphyseal growth plates
Synarthrosis (immovable)

Question 16

symphysis (Cartilagenous)

Answer 16

Bones are connected by fibrocartilage
Occur in the midline of the body
Examples:
Pubic symphysis
Intervertebral discs
Amphiarthrosis (slightly movable)

Question 17

Synovial Joints

Question 18

Gliding movement

Answer 18

Side to side movements
Flat bone surfaces (e.g., intercarpal joints, intertarsal joints)
Little (if any) change in the angle between the bones
