Musculoskeletal System Part 1 Flashcards
Articular structures
include joint capsule and articular cartilage,
synovium and synovial fluid, intra-articular ligaments, and juxta
articular bone
extra-articular structures
include periarticular ligaments,
tendons, bursae, muscle, fascia, bone, nerve, and overlying skin
ligaments
ropelike bundles of collagen fibrils that connect
bone to bone
tendons
collagen fibers connecting muscle to bone
collagen
collagen matrix overlying bony surfaces
bursae
pouches of synovial fluid that cushion the movement
of tendons and muscles over bone or other joint structures
3 types of joints
Synovial—freely movable
*Cartilaginous—Synovial
*Fibrous—immovable (eg skull)
Synovial
freely movable
Cartilaginous
Synovial
fibrous
immovable (eg skull)
synovial joints
Joint is freely movable
* Bones are covered by articular
cartilage
* Bones are separated by
synovial cavity—(bones do not
touch)
* Synovial membrane secretes
synovial fluid that lubricates
joint movement
* Examples: shoulder, knee
types of synovial joints
Examples: shoulder, knee
synovial cavity
(bones do not
touch)
Spheroidal
—ball and socket
* Shoulder
* Hip
examples of a Spheroidal
shoulder and hip
example of hinge
one plane
* Elbow
* Digits—interphalangeal joints
example of one plane
elbow and digits
what are interphalangeal joints
dogits
condylar
Knee, TMJ—articulating surfaces are convex or concave
another name for synovial joints
another name for Hinge joints—one plane
tmj
is also a condylar joint because of it’s structure. It has a
rounded condyle. So in function it usually only opens and
closes (hinge joint) but it can go side to side because the
structure is condylar.
Cartilaginous Joints
Joint is slightly movable
* Bones separated by
fibrocartilaginous discs
* Discs contain nucleus
pulposus that cushions
bony movement
* Examples: vertebral
bodies of the spine
Cartilaginous Joints
Examples: vertebral
bodies of the spine
Fibrous Joints
Joints have no
appreciable movement
* Bones separated by
fibrous tissue or cartilage
* Example: sutures of
the skull
Fibrous Joints
Example: sutures of
the skull
