Joints

Question 1

gomphoses

Answer 1

type of fibrous tissue (synarthroses)

fibrous connection is periodontal ligament (holds it in place)

peg-in-socket fibrous joint

tooth in its bony aveolar socket

Question 2

diarthroses

Answer 2

freely movable joints

in limbs

synovial joints

Question 2

immovable joints

in axial skeleton

types are sutures, synchondroses and gomphoses

Answer 2

synarthroses

Question 3

type of fibrous tissue (synarthroses)

fibrous connection is periodontal ligament (holds it in place)

peg-in-socket fibrous joint

tooth in its bony aveolar socket

Answer 3

gomphoses

Question 4

type of diarthroses

includes articular cartilage, synovial savity and fluid, articular capsule, supporting ligaments

Answer 4

synovial joints

Question 5

type of fibrous joint (amphiarthroses)

bones are connected by ligaments (bands of fibrous tissue)

movement depends on length of connecting fibers

movement ranges from none to a lot (interosseous membrane in radius and ulna)

Answer 5

syndesmoses

Question 6

amphiarthroses

Answer 6

slightly movable joints

in axial skeleton

includes symphyses and syndesmoses

Question 7

synarthroses

Answer 7

immovable joints

in axial skeleton

types are sutures, synchondroses and gomphoses

Question 8

in middle age when fibrous tissue of sutures ossify and skull bones fuse into a single unit called this

any type of joint can become this

Answer 8

synostoses

Question 9

syndesmoses

Answer 9

type of fibrous joint (amphiarthroses)

bones are connected by ligaments (bands of fibrous tissue)

movement depends on length of connecting fibers

movement ranges from none to a lot (interosseous membrane in radius and ulna)

Question 10

type of fibrous joint (synarthroses)

occur only between bones of the skull

junction filled by a minimal amount of short connective tissue fibers

these allow the skull to expand as brain grows

in old age they ossify and skull bones fuse into a single unit called synostoses

Answer 10

sutures

Question 11

type of cartilaginous joints (most are synarthroses)

hyaline cartilage that unites bones

some are amphiarthroses

many are temporary joints (epiphyseal plate)

e.g. immovable joint between costal cartilage of the first rib and the manubrium of the sternum

Answer 11

synchondroses

Question 12

sutures

Answer 12

type of fibrous joint (synarthroses)

occur only between bones of the skull

junction filled by a minimal amount of short connective tissue fibers

these allow the skull to expand as brain grows

in old age they ossify and skull bones fuse into a single unit called synostoses

Question 12

synostoses

Answer 12

in middle age when fibrous tissue of sutures ossify and skull bones fuse into a single unit called this

any type of joint can become this

Question 14

freely movable joints

in limbs

synovial joints

Answer 14

diarthroses

Question 16

synchondroses

Answer 16

type of cartilaginous joints (most are synarthroses)

hyaline cartilage that unites bones

some are amphiarthroses

many are temporary joints (epiphyseal plate)

e.g. immovable joint between costal cartilage of the first rib and the manubrium of the sternum

Question 17

type of cartilaginous joints (amphiarthroses)

joint where fibrocartilage unites the bone

compressible and shock absorber

these joints are for strength with flexibility

e.g. intervertebral joints and pubic symphysis of pelvis

Answer 17

symphyses

Question 18

synovial joints

Answer 18

type of diarthroses

includes articular cartilage, synovial savity and fluid, articular capsule, supporting ligaments

Question 19

symphyses

Answer 19

type of cartilaginous joints (amphiarthroses)

joint where fibrocartilage unites the bone

compressible and shock absorber

these joints are for strength with flexibility

e.g. intervertebral joints and pubic symphysis of pelvis

Question 20

slightly movable joints

in axial skeleton

includes symphyses and syndesmoses

Answer 20

amphiarthroses
