PP 1 Flashcards
Fascia
surrounds muscles, blood vessels, nerves, and binding some structures together
Aponeurosis
Closely packed, parallel collagenous bundles
Provide strength and support
Retinaculum
hold tendons down and together
Ligaments
bone to bone
Tendons
Muscle to bone
Bursae
Thin fluid sacs
Type of fibrous joints and their function.
Sutures (synarthrosis, which is immobile)
Syndesmosis (amphiarthrosis, which is slightly movable)
Gomphosis (synarthrosis, which is immobile)
Type of cartilaginous joints and their function.
Synchondrosis (synarthrosis with hyaline cartilage, which is immobile))
Symphysis (amphiarthrosis with fibrocartilage, which is slightly movable))
Function of diarthrosis joints.
freely movable
What are fibrous joints?
joints held tightly together by thin fibrous connective tissue
Where do you find fibrous joints?
-between flat bones of the skull
Fibrous joints type of growth?
Intramembranous ossification
Anterior (frontal) fontanel
Where?
Closes when?
18-24 months
2 parietal and the segments of the frontal bone
Posterior (occipital) fontanel
Where?
Closes when?
2 months
Between the 2 parietal and occipital
Anteriolateral (sphenoidal) fontanel
Where?
Closes when?
3 months
between: frontal, parietal, temporal, and sphenoid bones
Posterolateral (mastoid) fontanel
Where?
Closes when?
12 months
parietal, occipital, and temporal bones
Syndesmosis
Bones are bound together by relatively strong fibers of connective tissue or ligaments
Where do you find syndesmosis?
Inferior tibiofibular articulation
Inferior radio-ulnar articulation
Gomphosis
Peg and socket: tooth fits into alveolar process.
How are cartilaginous joints fastened together?
by hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage
Two types of cartilaginous joints?
Synchondrosis
Symphysis
How are Synchondrosis bones bound together?
What is a special feature?
Where is a permanent synchondrosis found?
- bands of hyaline cartilage
- these joints are temporary structures that disappear during the growth process.
- between the sternum and the first rib
- costal cartilage uniting ribs to sternum
