joints/articulations Flashcards
what are the three functional classifications of joints
synarthrosis, amphiarthrosis, and diathrosis
what is a synarthrosis joint
the together joint, immovable
what is an amphiarthrosis joint
the both/partial joint, partially moveable
what is a diathrosis joint
the two/separated joint, freely moveable
what are the three structural classifications of joints
fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial
what is a fibrous joint
when collagen between the bones
what is a cartilaginous joint
when cartilage is connecting the bones
what is a synovial joint
when there is egg-like fluid between the bones
what are most fibrous joints classified as
synarthrosis
what are most cartilaginous joints classified as
amphiarthrosis
what are most synovial joints classified as
diarthrosis
what do articular/joint capsules do
surround synovial joints
what is a fibrous capsule made of
collagen
what is a synovial membrane made of
simple squamous epithelium and connective tissue
what does the synovial membrane do
filter and exchange the synovial fluid and blood
what is articular cartilage
hyaline cartilage
what does synovial fluid do
lubricates and nourishes hyaline cartilage
what do ligaments connect
bone to bone
what do tendons connect
muscle to bone
where are ligaments usually found
dense regular connective tissue
where are tendons usually found
dense regular connective tissue
what is bursitis
a damaged and inflamed tendon sheath
what is a tendon sheath
a bursal sac that wraps around a tendon
what is bursa
a flat sac that contains synovial fluid
what does the bursa do
decrease friction around the joint
where are plane joints found
wrist bones
where are hinge joints found
elbow and knee
where are pivot joints found
proximal radio-ulnar joint
where are condyloid joints found
round surfaces, the jaw
where are saddle joints found
the base of the thumb
where are ball and socket joints found
hip and shoulder
where does flexion and extension occur
the sagittal plane
flexion
to bend, decrease the joint angle
extension
to straighten, increase the joint angle
what joint movement is the body in during anatomical position
extension
what is hyperextension
beyond the anatomical position
