Joints Flashcards
bone edges held together by dense regular collagenous connective tissue; no joint cavity; no articular capsule
fibrous
skull bones held together by short fibrous connective tissue fibers
suture - fibrous - synarthrosis
tooth within bony cavity held by periodontal ligament
gomphosis - fibrous - synarthrosis
dense regular collagenous connective tissue between two long bones
syndesmosis - fibrous - amphiarthrosis
example of suture
coronal suture between the frontal and parietal bones
example of gomphosis
tooth in the mandible or maxilla
example of syndesmosis
interosseous membrane between radius and ulna and between tibia and fibula
wedge of cartilage located between articulating bones; no joint cavity; no articular capsule
cartilaginous
hyaline cartilage plate between bones
snychondrosis - cartilaginous - synarthrosis
fibrocartilage pad between the hyaline cartilage on the two articulating bones
symphysis - cartilaginous - amphiarthrosis
example of synchondrosis
epiphyseal plates; sternocostal joint
example of symphysis
pubic symphysis between two pubic bones
layer of hyaline cartilage covers surface of each articulating bone; separated by a fluid-filled joint cavity; articular capsule present
synovial
non-axial; flat bone surface glide across one another
plane - synovial - diarthosis
uniaxial; convex surface of one bone fits into a concave surface of another bone to allow angular motion along axis
hinge - synovial - diarthosis
uniaxial; projection of one bone fits into another bone; the second bone rotates around the first
pivot - synovial - diarthosis
biaxial; convex oval surface of one bone articulates with concave oval surface of another bone
condylar - synovial - diarthosis
biaxial; saddle-shaped surface of one bone fits into one depression of another bone
saddle - synovial - diarthosis
multiaxial; round head of one bone fits into a cup-shaped surface of another bone
ball and socket - synovial - diarthosis
example of plane
intercarpal and intertarsal joints
example of hinge
elbow and knee joints
example of pivot
atlantoaxial joint
example of condylar
second through fifth metacarpophalangeal joints
example of saddle
articulation between the first metacarpal and the trapezium (thumb joint)
example of ball and socket
shoulder and hip joints
