Lab 4 Flashcards
Types of joint classification
Fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial
Structural characteristics of fibrous joints
Adjoining bones connected by dense fibrous connective tissue, no joint cavity
Structural characteristics of cartilaginous joints
Adjoining bones united by cartilage, no joint cavity
Structural characteristics of synovial joints
Adjoining bones covered in articular cartilage; separated by a joint cavity and enclosed in an articular capsule lined with a synovial membrane (fluid)
Structural types of fibrous joints
suture (short fibers, ex. suture in brain), syndesmosis (longer fibers, ex. tib/fib), Gomphosis (periodontal ligament, ex. tooth in bony socket)
Structural types of cartilaginous joints
Synchondrosis (hyaline, ex. costal cartilage to rib), symphyses fibrocartilage, ex. intervertebral discs), symphysis (pubic symph, fibrocart)
Structural types of synovial joints
Plane, hinge, pivot, condylar, saddle, ball-and-socket
Functional classification of suture
Synarthrosis (NO MOVE)
Functional classification of synchondrosis
Synarthrosis (NO MOVE)
Functional classification of all synovial joints
Diarthrosis (freely move)
Flexion
reducing joint angle
Head going forward, body lean forward, heal come back, arm forward
Extension
increasing joint angle/returning to neutral from flexion
Head moving back to neut
standing up straight
arm moving back
leg straightening
Hyperextension
one step past extension, extending further in the direction of extension past neutral
Abduction
moving away form the midline
arm going away
Adduction
“Adding arm to body”; moving closer to trunk
