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 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

Spheroidal
—ball and socket
* Shoulder
* Hip
