MSK 2 Flashcards
Joints
Point of contact, articulation
Between bones
Always connective tissue
Structural vs. functional joint
How joint is structured vs. how it moves
2 structural classifications of joints
- Joined by solid mass of CT (fibrous, cartilaginous)
- Joined by lubricated capsule (synovial)
Types of joints
- Fibrous
- Cartilaginous
- Synovial
Ligaments
Connect bone to bone
Composed of dense CT
Intrinsic ligament
Binds bone
Extrinsic ligament
Support, ROM
Fibrous joints
Solid mass of dense irregular connective tissue
1. Suture
2. Syndesmosis
3. Gomphosis
Suture
Seam
ex. Skull
Slightly movable in kids, not in adults
Gomphosis
Bolt or nail
ex. tooth, periodontal ligament
Syndemosis
Band
ex. forearm
Cartilaginous joint
Solid mass of cartilage
1. Symphysis
2. Synchondrosis
Synchondrosis
Hyaline CT
ex. ephyseal growth plate
Symphysis
Hyaline CT
Bones connect by fibrocartilage
ex. midline bones, like pubis
Synovial joint
- Synovial capsule
- Synovial membrane
- Synovial cavity
- Synovial fluid
- Articular cartilage
- Articular disc
- Meniscus
- Labrum
- Bursa
Synovial capsule
Sleeve around two bones
Supported by collagen and tendon
Synovial membrane
Creates synovial fluid
Synovial cavity
Holds synovial fluid
Synovial fluid
Lubricates, reduces frictions, absorbs shocks
Articular cartilage
Hyaline CT, reduces friction
Articular disc
Complete disc of fibrocartilage
Meniscus
Incomplete fibrocartilage, improves fit, redistributes weight
Labrum
Fibrocartilage, deepens ball and socket
Bursa
Sac of fluid, reduces friction
Anatomical position
Standing straight with palms forwar
Adduction
Move towards body
Coronal plane
Abduction
Move away from body
Coronal plane
Flexion
Bend, decrease angle
Sagittal planee
Extension
Extend, increase angle
Sagittal plane
Circumduction
Flexion, abduction, extension, adduction
