lecture 9 Flashcards
arthroses
sites of contact between bones
arthrology
study of joints
3 classifications of joints
synovial, fibrous, cartilaginous
fibrous joint (AC?, CT?)
no AC, dense irregular CT
cartilaginous joint (AC?, CT)
no AC, cartilage
synovial joint (AC?, CT?)
has an AC, dense irregular CT
fibrous joints facts (3)
- generally immobile
- 2 types (sutures, syndemoses)
- dense irregular
examples of fibrous joints
sutures - coronal suture
syndesmoses - cone shaped joint for teeth (gomphosis)
sutures become synarthroses, what are these?
connective tissue that has been ossified (ossified suture)
syndesmoses
thick and long strip of dense irregular CT
(eg, interosseous membrane/ligaments)
gomphosis - cone shaped joint between teeth and mandible/maxilla
slightly mobile (more that sutures)
gomphosis
type of syndesmoses
cone shaped joint between teeth and mandible/maxilla
cartilaginous joints facts
bones joined by cartilage
no articular cavity
2 types (synchondroses, symphyses)
synchondroses
connects bone with hyaline or fibrocartilage
(eg. sternocostal cartilage between ribs)
epiphyseal cartilage (what is it made of)
hyaline cartilage permitting bone growth
symphyses (what is under fibrocartilage at the joint?)
held by fibrocartilage
bone still covered in hyaline cartilage at articular surfaces
(eg. pubic symphysis)
synovial joints facts (3)
(last one, waht are teh covered in?)
- distinguished by presence of articular cavity between bones
- bones covered in articular cartilage
- freely movable
articular cavity
only found in synovial joints
bounded by articular capsule
secretes lubricating fluid (synovial fluid)
has fibrous layer
articular capsule
bounds articular cavity
2 layers (fibrous layer, synovial membrane)
fibrous layer of articular capsule
(what is it made of)
dense irregular CT
attaches to periosteum
forms ligaments and some joints
synovial membrane of articular capsule
(what is it made of and what does it do)
areolar CT
secretes synovial fluid
what does synovial fluid do?
(what it nourishes, contains, and does)
nourishes chondrocytes, contains O2 and contains immune cells, reduces friction, absorbs shock
other components of synovial joints (2)
accessory ligaments - provide extra support
(eg. contralateral ligament of the knee)
articular discs / minisci - fibrocariilage padding to the inside surface of the capsule, absorbs shock
bursae
reduce friction between moving structures
have fibrous capsule and synovial membrane
bursitis
inflammation of bursae
tendons sheaths
tube shaped bursae
only freely movable joints
synovial joints
4 categories of movement
gliding
angular movement
rotation
special
gliding movement
bones that slide back/forth + side/side
no change in angel between articulating bones
(Eg. intercarpal joints)
