Pig Anatomy Flashcards
the immovable, fibrous joints between the skull bones
Sutures of the skull
the cartilaginous joint joining the
right and left mandibular bodies.
symphysis of the mandible
the synovial articulations
between the bones of the hyoid apparatus and between the
thyrohyoid bone and the cranial cornu of the thyroid cartilage
joints of hyoid apparatus
a condylar joint between the
condyles of the mandible and the mandibular fossae of the
temporal bones.
temporomandibular joint
or tarsal joint; a compound hinge type of synovial joint. It is a composite joint articulation like the carpal joint, allowing flexion and extension.
Hock Joint
What are the three separate articulation of hock joints?
tibiatarsal joint, intertarsal joint, tarsometatarsal joint
between the lateral condyle of the ulna and the head of
the fibula
tibiofibular
How many patellar ligament do pigs have?
Only one.
the articulation between the patella and trochlea of the femur. It has a spacious joint capsule.
femoropatellar joint
the articulation between the femoral condyles and tibia (and the interposed menisci)
femorotibial joint
or genual articulation. The compound
joint between the femur and patella and the femur and
tibia. It is a condylar joint which acts like a hinge joint
with a little rotation.
stifle joint
or coxofemoral articulation. The
ball-and-socket type of synovial joint
between the head of the femur and the
acetabulum of the hip bone.
hip joint
The relatively
immovable articulation between the wings
of the sacrum and ilium.
sacro-iliac joint
the articulations between the
metacarpal bones and the proximal phalanges, including the
palmar sesamoid bones. It is a modified hinge joint allowing
extension and flexion
metacarpophalangeal joint
a saddle type of synovial joint
between the proximal and middle phalanges
proximal interphalangeal joint
the saddle type of synovial joint
between the middle and distal phalanges
distal interphalangeal joint
medial and lateral collateral ligaments stabilize the
sides of all metacarpophalangeal and phalangeal joints
ligaments
articulations
between the proximal ends of the
metacarpal bones.
intermetacarpal joints
between the distal radius and ulna and
the proximal row of carpal bones. There is a lot of movement in this
joint.
antebrachiocarpal joint
between the two rows of carpal bones. It communicates with the carpometacarpal joint. Although less than the antebrachiocarpal joint, it also has a lot of movement.
middle carpal joint
between the distal row of carpal bones and the metacarpal bones. It communicates with the middle
carpal joint. There is very little movement in this joint.
carpometacarpal joint
plane joints between the individual carpal
bones
intercarpal joints
a hinge type of synovial joint, allowing flexion and extension with some lateral movement. It
consists of three main joints – antebrachiocarpal, middle carpal and carpometacarpal.
carpal joints
between the distal radius and
ulna. It is part of the antebrachiocarpal joint with
which it shares a joint capsule
distal radioulnar joint
Is a hinge (ginglymus) type of synovial joint allowing
flexion and extension. It is also a compound joint
formed between the humerus, the radius, and the
ulna.
elbow joint
a ball-and-socket (spheroid) type synovial joint between the
glenoid cavity and the humeral head. It has a loose joint
capsule with non true collateral ligaments.
Shoulder Joint, Glenohumeral or scapulohumeral joint
What are the movements of joints?
❖ FLEXION
❖ EXTENSION
❖ DORSAL AND VENTRAL FLEXION
❖ ABDUCTION
❖ ADDUCTION
❖ CIRCUMDUCTION
❖ ROTATION
❖ UNIVERSAL
the contraction of muscles
crossing a joint and the shape of the joint produce its
characteristic movements
Classification by movement of joints
Plane Joint
Arthrodial
Ball and Socket Joint
Spheroidal
Hinge Joint
Ginglymus
pivot joint
trochoid
articulations with two
articulating bones
simple joints
articulations with more
than two bones articulating (e.g. stifle)
compound joints
What are the three classification of synovial joints?
- Number of articular surfaces
- Shape of articular surfaces
- Particular function of the joint
a structure similar to a bursa that wraps completely around a tendon. It reduces friction between the
tendon and underlying bones
Synovial Sheath
sac containing lubricating fluid but in pigs the term is often used to describe a fibrous lump beneath the kin covering bony prominences, caused by constant pressure
bursa
a plate of fibrocartilage partially or
completely dividing a joint cavity. It functions to allow a greater
variety of motion and alleviate concussion
meniscus or disc
a unique feature of synovial joint. It is little more than a potential
space containing a trace of synovial fluid.
joint cavity
What is extracapsular ligaments?
ligaments developing outside of or as part of the joint
capsule
located within the joint capsule
intracapsular ligaments
strong bands of white fibrous connective tissue uniting bones. They function to keep joint surfaces in apposition and still allow movement. They are usually
inelastic
ligaments
the translucent, bluish-tinged cartilage, usually hyaline,
covering the articular ends of bones. It reduces the effects of concussion and
friction by its compressibility, elasticity and smoothness
articular cartilage
the viscous liquid produced by the synovial membrane to lubricate the joint,
supply nutrients, remove waste from the hyaline articular cartilage. It has the consistency of
raw egg white.
