Q

what kind of cartilage makes up synchondrosis joints? what is the implication?

A

Q

what is the synovial cavity filled with and what is the function of that?

18
Q

name the 2 layers of the articular capsule

A
  1. fibrous membrane (outer layer)

2. synovial membrane (inner layer)

19
Q

what is the fibrous membrane made of and where does it run?

A

dense IRregular connective tissue, continuous with periosteum of bones

20
Q

what is the synovial membrane made of?

A

composed of cells called synoviocytes, which produce synovial fluid

21
Q

list 3 more structures that are found in some, but not all synovial joints

A
  1. bursa
  2. meniscus
  3. accessory ligaments
22
Q

describe bursa

A

pocket or sac that sits away from rest of joint cavity, contains synovial fluid

23
Q

if the bursa is a pocket where will it be located?

A

it will be an extension of the synovial cavity

24
Q

if the bursa is a sac where will it be located?

A

it will sit outside the cavity itself

25
describe the meniscus
a fibrocartilage pad found in the synovial cavity
26
where does the mensicus sit?
between articular cartilages to provide cushioning
27
what are accessory ligaments made of?
dense regular connective tissue
28
describe the 2 types of accessory ligaments based on location
1. intracapsular: within synovial cavity | 2. extracapsular: outside synovial cavity
29
what are synovial joints associated with?
limbs and movement
30
list the 6 types of synovial joints
1. plane joints 2. hinge joints 3. ball and socket joints 4. saddle joints 5. pivot joints 6. ellipsoid joints
31
what type of movement do plane joints allow and what do they consist of?
gliding movement, consist of 2 flat, bone surfaces
32
give 2 locations of plane joints
1. between carpal and tarsal bones | 2. between articular surfaces of vertebrae
33
what type of movement do hinge joints allow and how do they fit together?
being movement, convect surface fits into concave surface
34
give 2 locations of hinge joints
1. between humerus and and radius & ulna
35
which type of joint allows for the most movement?
ball and socket joints
36
how do ball and socket joints fit together?
round ball structure fits into concave socket
37
give 2 locations of ball and socket joints
1. between scapula and humerus | 2. between ilium of pelvis and femur
38
how do saddle joints fit together?
saddle-shaped surfaces of bone sit within each other
39
where are saddle joints found?
between metacarpal bone of thumb and carpal bone of humans and primates
40
why are saddle joints not found in many domestic animals?
no opposable thumbs
41
how do pivot joints fit together?
one bone process sits within smooth face of another
42
where are pivot joints located?
between atlas (C1) and axis (C2)
43
how do ellipsoid joints fit together?
modified ball and socket where articular surfaces are ellipsoid (oval-like)
44
give 2 locations of ellipsoid joints
1. between atlas and occipital bone | 2. between temporal bone and mandible
