Lecture 4- Arthrology Flashcards
Three types of joints
Fibrous
Cartilagenous
Synovial
Two subclasses of cartilagenous joints
Symphysis (fibrocartilage that eventually ossifies)
Synchondrosis (Temporary joints, programmed to ossify, not time dependent ex:physis)
Two components of synovial joints
Fibrous: outer capsule
Membranous: (secretes fluid)
What is a meniscus?
Fibrocartilagenous plate
Types of ligaments in a synovial joint
Intra-articular ligament
Extracapsular ligament
Where can the patellar ligament be found?
Surrounding the patella, conecting hte femur and tibia
What type of ligaments are extracapsular?
Collateral
4 muscles of the rotator cuff
Lateral (colateral) ligaments: supraspinatus, infraspinatus
Medial (colateral) ligaments: Subscapularis, coracobrachialis
10 ligaments of the genual joint
Cranial tibial ligament of the medial meniscus
Caudal tibial ligament of the medial meniscus
Cranial tibial ligament of the lateral meniscus
Caudal tibial ligament of the lateral meniscus
Transvers meniscal tibial ligament
Meniscofemoral ligament
Medial collateral ligament
Lateral collateral ligament
Cranial cruciate ligament
Caudal cruciate ligament
Two categories of genual ligaments
Meniscal ligaments
Femorotibial ligaments
When impacted from the right side of the knee, which side sustains the most damage?
Left
How to remove the lateral meniscus
cut the cranial and caudal tibial ligaments, the tansverse meniscal ligament, and the meniscofemoral ligament
How to remove the medial meniscus
Cut the cranial and causal tibial ligaments and transverse meniscal ligament
Dissect medial collateral ligament
