Joints, Kinetics, Goniometry, And Muscle Flashcards
Joints
Hold bones together and mostly permit movement, point of contact
3 Types of points of contact
Between 2 bones
Between cartilage and bone
Between teeth and bones
Arthrology
Study of joints
Kinesiology
Study of motion
Structure classification
Based on the presence or absence of a cavity
Solid
Synovial
Solid
No cavity
Synovial
Yes cavity
Functional classification
Based upon movement
Synarthrosis
Immovable
Amphiarthrosis
Slightly movable
Diarthrosis
Freely movable
All synovial joints are
Diarthorses
Fibrous joints
Lack synovial cavity
Bones held closely together by fibrous CT
Little or no movement (solid joint)
3 structural types of fibrous joints
Sutures
Syndesmoses
Gomphoses
Sutures
Thin layer of dense fibrous CT that unites bones of the skull
Immovable
Syndesmosis
Bones united by ligament
Inferior tibiofibular joint and interosseous membrane
Slightly moveable
Gomphosis
Ligament holds cone shaped peg in bony socket
Teeth in alveolar processes
Movement is very minimal but can be achieved over time, synarthrosis or amphiarthrosis
Cartilaginous joints
Lacks cavity
Allows little or no movement
Bones tightly connected by fibrocartilage or hyaline cartilage
2 types of cartilaginous joints
Synchondrosis
Symphyses
Synchondrosis
Connecting material is hyaline cartilage
Epiphyseal plate or joints between ribs and costal cartilages
Immovable
Symphysis
Fibrocartilage is connecting material
All discs in the body
Slightly movable
Types of solid joints
Fibrous joints
Cartilaginous joints
