part 1 Flashcards
The study of musculoskeletal movement.
Kinesiology
A freely movable joint.
diarthrosis
A slightly movable joint.
amphiarthrosis
A joint capable of little or no movement.
synarthrosis
Immovable fibrous joints binding the bones of the skull.
suture
Type of joint attaching a tooth to its socket.
gomphosis
Joint in which two bones are bound only by ligaments.
syndesmoses
Type of joint in which bones are joined by hyaline cartilage.
synchondrosis
Type of joint in which bones are joined by fibrocartilage.
symphysis
Joint in which two bones, once separate, become fused by osseous tissue.
synostosis (bony joint )
Joint in which two bones are separated by a space filled with lubricant.
synovial joint
The slippery lubricant filling space between bones in a synovial joint.
synovial fluid
Connective tissue covering ajoining surfaces of bones within a joint.
articular cartilage
Outer layer of joint capsule that is continuous with the periosteum.
fibrous capsule
Inner layer of joint capsule made of areolar tissue which secretes fluid.
synovial membrane
attaches muscle to bone.
tendon
attaches bone to bone
ligament
Fibrous fluid filled sac located where a tendon passes over a bone.
bursa
Type of bursae that are elongated and wrap around tendons.
tendon sheath
Type of joint in which the bone can move in only one plane.
monoaxial
Type of joint in which the bone can move in two planes.
biaxial
Type of joint in which the bone can move in three or more planes.
multiaxial
Joint in which one bone with a hemispherical head fits within a cuplike depression on the other.
ball-and-socket joint
Joint which one bone with a convex surface fits into a concave depression of the other bone.
hinge joint
The trapeziometacarpal joint for example.
saddle joint
Monoaxial joint in which a projection of one bone fits into a ling-like ligament of the other
pivot joint
Type of joint in which the articular surfaces are only slightly convex and concave.
gliding (plane) joint
Joint in which an oval convex surface of one bone fits into a similarly shaped depression of the other.
condvloid ( ellipsoid) joint
