Joints (Articulations) Flashcards
Synarthrosis
Immobile; bones very close together; immovable/interlock together
ex. sutures, alveolar processes, and epiphyseal plates
Amphiarthrosis
slightly movable; bones apart
- may have a pad of cartilage between bones
- bones held in place via ligaments
- ex. between tibia and fibula
Diarthrosis
freely moveable; often covered by articular cartilage
-have joint cavity and joint capsule
-osis

gomphosis

Fibrous Joints can be…
TYPES-
Sutures
Syndesmosis
gomphosis
Cartilaginous Joints can be
TYPES-
Symphysis
synchondrosis
Synovial Joint can be..
Various types
Suture
no movement, thin layer of fibrous CT binds bone together, interlock in skull
Syndesmosis
bones bound together by interosseous ligaments
ex. pivot point for radius and ulna
functionally amphiarthrosis
Gomphosis
process in boney socket (alveolar process)
Functionally a synarthrosis
Symphysis
bones ends covered with articular cartilage and fibrocartilage pad between bones, cushions, small movement.
synchondrosis
binding of bones via hyaline cartilage (capable of repair)
ex. costochondrial cartilage
Functionally- synarthrosis
