OSTEOLOGY OF THE ANTERIOR THORAX - joint classifications Flashcards
What are the examples of the typical syndesmosis from the vertebral column?
most of the ligamentous joints of the vertebral column and anterior thorax
Which cartilage joint forms between ossification centers within a cartilage template?
(amphiarthrosis) synchondrosis
Which classification of cartilage joint is primary, temporary and composed of hyaline cartilage?
(amphiarthrosis) synchondrosis
What are examples of a permanent (amphiarthrosis) synchondrosis?
costochondral joints or the first sternochdonral joint
Which cartilage joint occurs between bones formed by endochondral ossification?
(amphiarthrosis) symphysis
What are the characteristics of a (amphiarthrosis) symphysis?
limited motion, median plane location, support ligaments both anterior and posterior to the joint, more permanent in longevity than synchondrosis and they occur between bones developing by endochondral ossification
Which ribs demonstrate costochondral joints?
all twelve ribs
What are the joint surfaces of the costochondral joint?
the costal cartilage with the sternal end of each rib
What is the joint classification of the costochondral joint?
cartilaginous (amphiarthrosis) synchondrosis
What is the sternocostal or sternochondral joint?
the joint between the costal cartilage and the costal notches of the sternum
What ribs will participate in the sternocostal or sternochondral joint?
rib 1 to rib 7
What is the calssifcation of the first sternocostal or sternochondral joint?
cartilaginous (amphiarthrosis) synchondrosis
What is the classification of the second - seventh sternocostal or sternochondral joint
synovial plane (diarthrosis arthrodia)
Which of the sternocostal or sternochodnral ligaments is unique to the second sternocostal or sternochdonral joint?
the intra-articular ligament
What joint classification is associated with the intra-articular ligament of the second sternocostal or sternochondral joint?
fibrous (amphiarthrosis) syndesmosis
