Musculoskeletal System Flashcards
function of bones
structural support and protection
levers for movement
blood cell formation
storage for calcium
types of bones
compact
cancellous
classification of bones by shape
long short flat irregular sesamoid
parts of long bone
diaphysis epiphysis articular cartilage periosteum medullary cavity
physiology of joints
joints allow movement
muscles create movement
ligaments/joint capsule limit movement
types of fibrous joints - immovable
suture, syndesmosis, gomphosis
types of cartilaginous joints - semi movable
primary
secondary
types of synovial joints - freely moveable
plane hinge pivot condyloid ellipsoid saddle ball and socket
classification of joints
fibrous
cartilaginous
synovial
descrive fibrous joints
soft tissue that unites the bones is a dense fibrous connective tissue
no joint cavity
describe primary cartilaginous joints
hyaline cartilage unites 2 bones
temporary union
no joint cavity
describe secondary cartilaginous joints
fibrocartilage in the form of a disc unites the 2 bones
discs can be quite thick - moderate movement
no joint cavity
describe synovial joints
articulating bones united by capsule - outer fibrous layer
inner synovial membrane layer
synovial cavity and fluid
articular cartilage covers articular surfaces
types of synovial joints
ball and socket joint hinge joint pivot joint gliding joint saddle joint condyloid joint
ball and socket joints
provides greatest range of movement
convex shape bone fits into concave shaped socket
examples of ball and socket joints
shoulder and hip joints
hinge joint
allows movement in one axes(uni-axial)
spool shaped bone and concave shaped bone
example of hinge joint
elbow joint
pivot joint
allows movement in one plane
surface of one bone is ring shaped and other bone is shaped to rotate within ring
example of pivot joint
proximal radioulnar joint
atlantoaxial joint
saddle joint
allows movement in 2 axes (biaxial)
both bones have convexity and concavity to its surface
