30
Q

Movement around 1 axis

31

Movement around 2 axes

32
Q

Movement around 3 axes

33
Q

Thick layer of dense connective tissue that encloses the synovial joint cavity

A

Articular capsule

34
Q

Lined on the inside with synovial membrane

A

Fibrous membrane

35
Q

Contains fibroblasts that secrete synovial fluid into synovial cavity

A

Synovial membrane

36
Q

Nourishes articular cartilage; shock absorption and lubrication

A

Synovial fluid

37
Q

Reinforce and strengthen capsule; localized thickening of capsule

A

Accessory ligaments

38
Q

Cartilage at the ends of long bone, shock absorber so bones don’t hit each other

A

Articular cartilage

39
Q

Pad of fibrocartilage which is a better fit between articulating surfaces; shock absorption

40
Q

Localized masses of adipose tissue

41
Q

Small, synovial fluid filled connective tissue pockets; reduces friction

42
Q

What happens to the strength of a joint if it is more mobile?

43
Q

What are the factors that affect range of motion at synovial joints?

A

Contact of soft parts, arrangement and tension of muscle, mobility, structure or shape, strength and tension of ligaments

44
Q

What is an example of a planar joint? Is it monoaxial, biaxial or triaxial?

A

between carpals and tarsals; biaxial

45
Q

What is an example of a hinge joint? Is it monoaxial, biaxial, or triaxial?

A

Elbow; monoaxial

46
Q

What is an example of a pivot joint? Is it monoaxial, biaxial, or triaxial?

A

Atlas/axis and radioulnar joint; monoaxial

47
Q

What is an example of a condyloid joint? Is it monoaxial, biaxial, or triaxial?

A

49
Q

What is an example of a ball-and-socket joint? Is it monoaxial, biaxial, or triaxial?

A

Head of humerus and glenoid cavity; triaxial

50
Q

Synovial joints are swollen, stiff, painful

51
Q

Slow deterioration of articular cartilage produces bone spurs; afflicts larger joints

A

Osteoarthritis

52
Q

Occurs when sodium urate crystals form within synovial joints

A

Gouty arthritis

53
Q

Autoimmune disorder, cartilage attacked, primary symptom is inflammation and swelling of synovial membrane causing the fusion of joints

A

Reumatoid arthritis

54
Q

What is the only bony fusion joint?

A
