Lecture 10

Question 1

What are the three joint types?

Answer 1

Fibrous joints
Cartilaginous joints
Synovial joints

Question 2

What is the structure of fibrous joints?

Answer 2

tissue btw bone ends is DFCT - bones are held firmly together

Question 3

What is the function of fibrous joints?

Answer 3

No movement - maximum stability

e.gcranial structure in bone

Question 4

What is the structure of cartilaginous joints?

Answer 4

tissue btw bone ends is cartilage

• hyaline cartilage
• fibrocartilage

Question 5

What is the function of cartilaginous joints?

Answer 5

allows some movement & provides stability

e.g intervertebral disks

Question 6

What is the structure of synovial joints?

Answer 6

bone ends held together by a joint capusule 0 sleeve like extension of the periosteum

Question 7

What is the function of synovial joints

Answer 7

Allow large ROM - maximum movement.

- facilitation of free & controlled movement

Question 8

What structures is a synovial joint made up of?

Answer 8

ALL: Joint capsule, ligaments, synovial membrane, hyaline cartilage, joint cavity
SOME: Menisci, bursae

Question 9

What are the two types of ligaments found in synovial joints?

Answer 9

• Capsular ligaments

- Intracapsular ligaments

Question 10

What are capsular ligaments?

Answer 10

Ligaments fused to capsule

-tight & thick were support is required

Question 11

What are intracapsular ligaments?

Answer 11

Holds bones together

Restricts movement btw bones
