Kinesiology 3 Flashcards
Articular Sysytem
fibrous joint
has thin layer of fibrous periosteum between two bones, as in the sutures in the skull. There are 3 types: synarthrosis, syndesmosis, and gomphosis.
synarthrosis
suture joint, end of joint are shaped to allow them to interlock. Essentially no motion. purpose to provide shape and strength
syndesmosis
ligamentous joint. A small amount of twisting, or stretching may occur
gomphosis
“bolting together”- greek, joint between teeth and mandible and maxilla, “peg-in-socket”
cartilaginous joint
has either hyaline cartilage, or fibrocartilage between, allow very little motion such as bending, or twisting and some compression. provide a great deal of stability
aphiarthrodial joint
cartilaginous joint
synovial joint
no direct union between bone ends, cavity filled , allows free motinwith synovial fluid contained in sleevelike capsule
diarthrodial joint
synovial joint
nonaxial joint
joint surfaces are relatively flat and glide over one another instead of one moving around the other
plane joint
nonaxial joijnt
uniaxial joint
has angular motion around one axis, much like a hinge
hinge joint
uniaxial joint
pivot joint
elbow, uniaxial joint
biaxial joint
motion occurs upon two axis
condyloid joints
metacarpophalangial (MCP) and wrist joints
eppsiliod joints
condyloid joints
saddle joints
carpometacarpal joint (CMC) of thumb, articular surface of each bone is concave in one direction and convex in the other, resembles a rider sitting in saddle
triaxial joint
motion occurs actively around all three axis
multiaxial joint
triaxial joint
ball-and-socket joint
triaxial joint
ligaments
bands of fibrous connective tissue, flexible not elastic, bone to bone
capsular ligaments
ligaments around a synovial joint
capsule
surrounds and encases the joint and protects the articular surfaces of the bones
