lecture 13 Flashcards
suture
- The lines between the bones in the skull. Once formed and fused they are immovable joints
gomphosis
- Peg and socket joint. Very short fibers that very tightly hold the teeth in place. Very little movement as long as it remains healthy.
in the mandible and maxilla
syndesmosis
- Based on how long the fibers are tells how much movement there will be. The shorter the fibers the less movement. If the fiber is long, you may get a little bit of movement.
- Is what allowing us to twist our legs from side to side.
cartilaginous joints
- Bones are joined directly by cartilage, no bone cavity. Typically, do not allow much movement.
- are joints where the bones are joined by cartilage
synchondrosis
- Where bones are connected by hyaline cartilage. Found in connections between the ribs and the sternum. (shown is the first costal cartilage joint) Will typically have little to no movement.
- Another example is the epiphyseal growth plate. No movement occurs.
symphysis
- A joint that is untied by fibrocartilage. Typically found in areas that have a lot of stress on them.
- The intervertebral disks can have some movement (is what helps us to move our spine). The pubic symphysis, the plate between the two os coxae.
synovial joints
- Bones that are separated by a fluid-filled joint cavity (filled with synovial fluid). Like my labrum tear, allows for a lot of movement
articular discs/meniscus
- Acts as a shock absorber and provides stability. Is a crescent shaped structure found in certain joints, especially the knee. A plate of fibrocartilage between the bones to help protect from wear and tear.
bursa
- A small fibrous sac filled with synovial fluid. Tend to find in areas where there are tendons, muscle, skin, and bone, all in a tight area. Its job is to help prevent rubbing and friction within that joint.
- Bursitis – inflammation or infection of the bursa. (pretty common in the shoulder, elbow, and hip joints.)
tendon sheath
- An elongated bursa. Instead of being a sack, it is a long tube like structure that is wrapped around tendons. Found where tendons are in tight spaces.
- A lot in the carpal tunnel area.
synarthroses
no movement
ampiarthroses
little movement
diarthroses
full movement
ankle joint, in between finger bones
luxation
joint dislocation
- the more moveable something is the more likely it is to dislocate
gliding
when flat surfaces between the (tarsals for example) bone which allows for the bones to glide by one another
flexion
extension
flexion - a bending movement to decrease the angle along the sagittal plane
extension a bending movement to increase the angle
hyperextension
continuing the movement of extension beyond the anatomical position
lateral flexion
the spine moving side to side
abduction
adduction
abduction - moving away frontal or coronal
adduction - moving toward the midline
supination
pronation
supination - lateral movement, serving soup
pronation - turning arm so that the bones go over each other
dorsiflexion
plantar flexion
only in the feet
- dorsiflexion -> flex so that the toes point up
plantar flexion -> flex to point the toes down
inversion
eversion
inversion - twisting the sole inward
eversion - twisting the sole out
elevation
depression
elevation - raising shoulders
depression - opening or lowering shoulders
protraction
retraction
protraction - move anteriorly or forward
retraction - move anteriorly or backward
