Q

Synovial Joints

A

Those joints in which the articulating bones are separated by a fluid-containing joint cavity

36
Q

Synovial joints function

A

all are freely movable

diarthroses

37
Q

all limb joints, and most joints of the body are examples of?

A

synovial joints

38
Q

5 parts of synovial joints

A

1) Articular cartilage (hyaline)
2) Joint (synovial) cavity
3) Articular capsule
4) Synovial fluid
5) Reinforcing ligaments

39
Q

Articular capsule and ligament have?

A

Many nerve endings
Blood vessels that allow synovial fluid
Fatty pads between fibrous capsule

40
Q

Disc/wedge (menisci) improves what in synovial joint?

41
Q

Bursae

A

flattened, fibrous sacs lined with synovial membranes and containing synovial fluid

42
Q

Bursae is not?

A

part of joint

43
Q

Where are Bursae common?

A

where ligaments, muscles, skin, tendons, or bones rub together

44
Q

Tendon sheath

A

elongated bursa that wraps completely around a tendon

45
Q

Synovial joints stability determined by?

A

Articular surfaces
ligaments
muscle tone

46
Q

Articular surfaces stability

A

shape determines what movements are possible

47
Q

Ligaments

A

unite bones and prevent excessive or undesirable motion at 6%

48
Q

Muscle tone is accomplished how?

A

muscle tendons across joints acting as stabilizing factors

49
Q

Tendons in muscle tone?

A

kept tight at all times by muscle tone (shoulder jt)

50
Q

The two muscle attachments across a joint are?

A

origin

insertion

51
Q

origin

A

attachment to the immovable bone

52
Q

insertion

A

attachment to the movable bone

53
Q

During contraction, what happens?

A

insertion moves towards the origin

54
Q

synovial joints range of motion

A

movement described in the directional terms relative to line/axes around which part moves

55
Q

Nonaxial

A

no axis around which movement occurs

56
Q

uniaxial

A

movement in one plane

57
Q

biaxial

A

movement in 2 planes

58
Q

mulitaxial

A

movement in or around all 3 planes

59

flex/ext of leg and some rotation example

63
Q

clavicles movement is example of

A

multiaxial

64
Q

What are 3 different types of movements??

A

gliding
angular
rotation

65
Q

Gliding movement

A

one flat bone surface glides/slips over another similar surface

66
Q

Intercarpal and intertarsal joints, and between the flat articular processes of the vertebrae is example of what movement?

67
Q

Angular movement

A 
reduction or increase in angle of articling parts
Flex/Ext
Dorisflexion and plantar flexion
abd/add
circumduction
68
Q

Flexion

A

bending movement that decreases the angle of the jt

69
Q

extension

A

reverse of flex, jt angle is increased

70
Q

Dorsiflexion and plantar flexion

A

up and down movement of the foot

71
Q

ABDuction

A

movement away from midline

72
Q

ADDuction

A

movement toward the midline

73
Q

Circumduction

A

movement describes a cone in space

74
Q

rotation movement

A

the turning of a bone around its own long axis

75
Q

Between first two vertebrae is an example of what?

A

rotation movement

76
Q

hip and shoulder joints is example of what ?

A

rotation movement

77
Q

Special movements

A 
Sup/pronation
inversion and eversion
protraction/retraction
elevation and depression
opposition
78
Q

Synovial joints have common feature but not?

79
Q

synovial joints movement

A

is based on shape of articulating structure

80
Q

how many major categories of synovial its?

81
Q

Plane (synovial) Joints

A

articular surfaces are essentially flat

82
Q

Plane its allow only?

A

slipping or gliding movements

83
Q

nonaxial joints are an example of what synovial jt?

A

plane joints

84
Q

Hinge (syn) Jts

A

Cylindrical projections of one bone fits into a trough-shaped surface on another

85
Q

Hinge joint motion

A

is along a single plane

86
Q

Hinge joints are

A

uniaxial joints that permit flexion and extension only

87
Q

elbow and interphalangeal joints are example of what synovial jt?
