MSS 1 & 2 Flashcards
Define joints
connects 2 or mow bones. It has rich Nerve supply.
state the 3 classifications of joints.
Fibrous joint
cartilaginous joint
Synovial joint
What are the 2 types of Fibrous joint?
Syndesmosis
Gomphosis ( dento- alveolar Syndesmosis)
These connects bones using fibrous tissue
Fibrous joint
Type of fibrous bone that connect bones by a sheet oftissue either a ligament or fibrous membrane
Syndesmosis
Joint with peg-like process (tooth).
located between the root of the tooth and the alveolar process of the jaw.
Gomphosis/ (dento-alveolar syndesmosis)
This joint is united by hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage.
Cartilaginous joint
2 types of Cartilaginous joint
Primary Cartilaginous joint/ synchondroses - United by hyaline cartilage. Found in the epiphyseal plat of long bones.
Secondary cartilaginous joint/ symphyses - United by fribocartilages. Found in vertebral disc.
What part of the body is symphesis joint located.
Intervertebral disc
What part of the body is synchondroses located?
Epiphyseal plate of the long bones.
Most Common type of joint.
Joint of locomotion - allows free movement
Synovial joint
Define joint cavity
Space between the articulating bones
Define synovial fluid
Viscous and slippery fluid found inside the joint cavity.
Serves to nourish articular cartilage.
Serves as a lubricant.
Components of synovial joint
Joint cavity
Synovial fluid
Meniscus
Accessory ligaments and tendons
Meniscus
Fibrocartilaginous articular disc which forms a gap
between articulating bones, helping in shock absorption
and force distribution
Role of accessory ligaments and tendons
Support the area of articulation.
2 types of accessory ligaments and tendons
Extrinsic - separate
Intrinsic - thickening of the joint capsule
Enumerate the types of synovial joint
Ball and socket (spheroidal) Hinge (Ginglymus) Saddle (sellar) Condylloid (Ellipsoidal) Pivot (trochoid) Plane (gliding)
Identify the type of axis of each synovial joint
Ball and socket - multiraxial
Hinge, plane, pivot - uniaxial
Saddle, condyloid - biaxial
Planar movement of Hinge joint
Sagittal plane in the transverse axis
Planar movement of Saddle joint.
Sagittal and frontal
Planar movement of pivot joint.
Central axis
Permitted movement of Saddle joint.
Flexion-extension
Abduction - adduction
Circumduction - lesser
Radiocarpal joint of the wrist
Condyloid
1st carpometacarpal (base of the thumb)
Saddle
Hip joint
Ball and socket
Elbow
Hinge
Intercarpal joint
Plane
Metacarpophalangeal joint
Condyloid
Intermetacarpal joint
Plane
metacarpophalangeal joint 2 - 5
Condyloid
Carpometacarpal joint 2 - 5
Plane
Shoulder joint
Ball and socket
Sternoclavicular joint
Saddle
Tarsal joint
Plane
C1 & C2 vertebrae of the neck
Pivot
Knee
Hinge
Temporomandibular joint
