Lecture 7. Joints part 2 Flashcards
What is the glenoid labrium?
It is a fibrocartilage ring attached to articular surfaces to increase their congruency
What are the ligaments supporting the glenoid-humoral joints/ adding stability
glenohumeral ligament
coracohumeral ligament
What ligaments are close to the glenoid-humoral joint but does not stabilize it ?
coracoclavicular ligaments
coraco-acromial ligament
acromioclavicular ligament
What is the function of the subdeltoid bursa?
bursae are small sacks of connective tissue separating the moving structures around the joints. the bursae are lined by a synovial membrane and filled with synovial fluid
What are thicken parts of the articular capsule called?
intrinsic ligament - indicates that the ligament is part of teh capsule you cannot see the ligament separate from the capsule.
What are the intrinsic ligaments in the glenohemerous region called
glenohumeral ligament
What are the extrinsic ligaments in the glenohemerous region called
coracohumeral ligament – you see this ligament separate from the articular capsule
What are intrinsic ligaments
ligaments that cannot be separated from the articular capsule
What are extrinsic ligaments
ligaments that can be separated from the articular capsule.
Describe the joint at the elbow
- can perform flexion and extension
- uniaxial
- hinge synovial joint
What are the ligaments present at the elbow
- ulnar collateral ligament
- annular ligament
- radial/lateral collateral ligament
What is the function of the ulnar collateral ligaments
provides stability at the medial side of the elbow
What is the function/description of the annular ligament.
it is an almost complete circle holding the head of the radius close to the ulna. It stabilizes the proximal radioulnar joint.
Describe the radial/lateral collateral ligament
it blends with the annular ligament - radial collateral ligament stabilizes the lateral end – it is not very well developed before 10 years of age
What kind of joint is the ulnar collateral ligament
pivot, monoaxial synovial joint
What are the 2 main components of the wrist
- radio-carpal joint ( a condyloid joint - biaxial synovial joint)
- midcarpal joint
What is the joint formed between the distal end of the radius and the ulnar
distal radio-ulnar joint
What kind of joint is the distal radio-ulnar joint
synovial pivot joint
