Kines Chapter 4 Flashcards
Synarthrodial Joints are subdivided into
Fibrous and Cartilaginous Joints
A joint held together by ligaments interosseous membranes, or both
Fibrous joints
Peg in socket joint, also known as
gomphosis
This type of joint primarily provides stability while allowing small amounts of movement, such as bending, twisting, compression
Cartilaginous Joints
Also, term, synovial joints, allow relatively more movement than stability
Diarthrodial Joints
Movement, when present tends to be linear instead of angular for this type of joint
Non-axial joint movement
Is angular movement occurring within one plane in about one axis, and thus has one degree of freedom
Uniaxial joint movement
Is angler movement occurring within two planes, and about to access and thus has 2° of freedom
Biaxial Joint movement
In the CMC joint, the articular surface of each bone is concave in One Direction and convex. In the other. This type of joint configuration is termed a
Sellar Joint
When the bones fit together like a horseback rider in a saddle, this joint is often termed a
Saddle joint
This type of movement occurs within all three planes and about all three axes does having 3° of freedom
Triaxial joint movement
Usually two, articulate with each other
Bones
Bands of fibrous, connective tissue support and hold a joint together
Ligaments
Surrounds and in cases the joint
Capsule or capsular ligament
A thick vascular connective tissue that secretes synovial fluid
Synovial membrane
A clear fluid, resembling egg whites, consisting primarily of water and dissolve protein
Synovial fluid
Is a dense, fibrous, connective tissue that can withstand great amounts of pressure and tension
Cartilage
Also termed as articular cartilage, covers the ends of opposing Bones within a synovial joint
Hyaline cartilage
Is present in both synovial and cartilaginous joints. shock absorption is the primary function of this type of cartilage
Fibrocartilage
is a fibrocartilaginous ring that deepens the shallow glenoid fossa of the scapula
labrum
This type of cartilage is designed to help maintain a structure shape, while allowing flexibility
Elastic cartilage
These connect muscle to bone
Tendons
