Name the 3 types of joints according to their physiological function
- Synarthrosis (immovable)
- Amphiathrosis (slightly movable)
- Diarthrosis (free movable)
What are the primary structures of a synovial joint?
- Articular capsule (keeps fluid inside)
- Articular cartilage (reduces friction, shock absorbant)
- Synovial fluid (reduces friction, supplies nutrients)
What are the accessory structures of a synovial joint?
- Cartilages and fat pads (meniscus)
- Ligaments (connects bone to bone)
- Tendons (connects muscle to bones)
- Bursae (pockets with synovial fluid)
What is a sprain?
Joint have been over-extended and ligaments have been stretched. Joint has returned to normal position again.
What is a dislocation?
Los of contact between the surfaces of the joints (cartilage damage, ligaments tear, capsule distorted)
