joints

Question 1

fibrous joints

Answer 1

no synovial cavity; bones held together by dense irregular CT, rich in collagen fibre; SYNARTHROSIS (permits little/no movement)

Question 2

Suture

Answer 2

1/3 types of fibrous joints; unites bones of skull; AMPIARTHROSIS in children; SYNARTHROSIS in adults

Question 3

Syndesmosis

Answer 3

1/3 types of fibrous joints; greater distance btw articulating surfaces and more dense irregular CT than suture; AMPIARTHROSIS

Question 4

Interosseous Membrane

Answer 4

1/3 types of fibrous joints; sheet of dense irregular CT that binds neighbouring long bones; AMPIARTHROSIS

Question 5

Cartilaginous Joints

Answer 5

NO synovial cavity; bones held together by cartilage; SYNARTHROSIS

Question 6

Synchondrosis

Answer 6

1/2 types of cartilaginous joints; connected by hyaline cartilage; SYNARTHROSIS, ie. epiphyseal growth plate

Question 7

Symphysis

Answer 7

1/2 types of cartilaginous joints; hyaline cartilage at ends of articulating bones and fibrocartilage connects bones; AMPIARTHROSIS

Question 8

Synovial Joint

Answer 8

only type of joint to have a synovial cavity; all types are DIARTHROSIS; united by dense irregular CT and accessory ligaments; bones at joints covered by hyaline cartilage

Question 9

Ligament

Answer 9

main mechanical factor that holds bones close together in synovial joint (bone-bone)

Question 10

Synovial fluid

Answer 10

secreted by synovial membrane; forms film over surfaces within articular capsule to reduce friction and absorb shock

Question 11

Meninsci

Answer 11

within synovial joint; modifies joint surface allowing bones of different shape to fit tightly

Question 12

Bursae

Answer 12

between skin and bone, tendon and bone, muscle and bone and ligament and bone; fluid-filled to cushion movement of one body part over another

Question 13

the knee

Answer 13

synovial joint; each bone within joint is coated with articular cartilage and lubricated with synovial fluid; each bone is separated by fibrocartilage
