Outline 2: Joints, Muscle, and Blood Supply Flashcards
What are arthoses? What are the two types?
Joints Diarthoses and Synarthoses
What are synarthoses
Joints where bones are directly connected via connective tissue. Not focused on mobility but focused on STABILITY.
What are the two types of synarthrotic joints?
fibrous and cartilagenous
What are the three types of fibrous joints?
Suture, syndesmosis, and gomphosis
What is a suture joint?
A types of fibrous joint that has SHORT fibers connecting adjacent bones. found only in the SKULL
What is a syndesmosis?
A type of fibrous joint that has LONGER fibers and allows for some movement between the bones. Ex- holds the fibula and tibia together
What is gomphosis?
A type of fibrous joint that has SHORT fibers and fits tooth into alveolar processes.
What are the two types of cartilaginous joints?
synchondrosis and symphysis
What is a synchondrosis
A primary cartilaginous joint that is made of hyaline. As it grows it ossifies and allows bone to elongate like at the epiphyseal plates and the xyphoid process
What is a symphysis
A secondary cartilaginous joint that is made of fibrocartilage. These are found at the public symphysis and as joints between vertebral bodies.
What is a diarthroses?
The second type of arthroses. THe bones are indirectly connected in a joint capsule and these joints are important for MOVEMENT. They are also known as synovial joints
Name the components of a synovial joint?
fibrous tissue of joint capsule- these fibers join with periosteum of bone
joint cavity enclosed by capsule
synovial membrane lining capsule which produces synovial fluid
synovial fluid covering articulating surfaces
hyaline cartilage covering joint surfaces
What are some accessory structures of a joint capsule?
fibrocartilagenous disks (sternoclavicular joint) where bones dont match well so it helps fill the space
plates
menisci(between tibia and femur) acts as shock absorber and reduces friction
labrums- raised lip to increase amount of articulating surface ex hip socket
fat pads
ligaments and tendons
T/F: All joints are innervated and have blood supply
False- hyaline cartilage on articulating surfaces is not innervated and therefore remains healthy through physical squeeze and release actions
What are the types of Diarthroses?
Uniaxial, Biaxial, Triaxial
What is a uniaxial diarthroses? Name an example of each
1 DOF
- ) hinge- elbow joints, humeral-ulnar joints, philanges of fingers - these can only do extension and flexion
- ) pivot- atlantoaxial joint- rotates on axis
