- bony edges close together may even interlock. incredibly strong joints located where movememnt between bones must be prevented.
what is the classification and function of a suture?
- fibrous synarthrotic joint located between bones of skull.
- bound together at suture by dense fibrous connective tissue
what is the function of a Gomphosis joint?
-synarthrosis binds teeth to bony sockets in maxillae and mandible.
classification and function of synostosis joint?
- synarthrosis body fusion.
- rigid, immovable joint made when 2 bones fuse together.
amphiarthrosis joint?
- little movement
- more movement than synarthrosis, much stronger than freely moveable joint. articulating bones connected by collagen fibres or cartilage.
What is the function of a syndesmosis joint?
- amphiarthrosis
- bones connected by ligament. example distal articulation between tibia and fibula or ulna and radius
what is function and classification of a symphysis?
- cartilaginous
- articulating bones separated by wedge or pad fibrous cartilage.
what is a diarthrosis joint?
-diarthrosis, or synovial joints, permit wider range motion than other joints. located usually at ends long bones.
monaxial: movement one plane, elbow, ankle, knee
biaxial-movement two planes- wrist
triaxial: movement three planes: shoulder and hip
what is function and classification of synovial fluid?
surrounds by joint capsule or articular capsule. joint capsule composed synovial membrane
- lubrication
- nourshes chondrocytes
- shock absorber
what does a plane or gilding joint do?
- monaxial
- some rotation
- intervertebral,intercarpal
classification and function of a saddle joint?
- biaxial
- example thumb
what does a hinge joint do?
- monaxial
- example elbow,ankle
what does a pivot joint do ?
*monaxial rotation around single axis
example articulation between end of axis and atlas.
what does an ellipsoid joint do?
*modified ball and socket
biaxial
-
what does a ball and socket joint do?
-multiaxial
ex shoulder and hip joints
