quiz 2 Flashcards
what is the distal segment doing in an open chain?
free to move
what is the distal segment doing in a closed chain?
fixed (proximal segment moves)
what are the two main types of joints?
synarthrosis and diarthrodial (synovial)
Name the three types of fibrous synarthrotic joints?
sutures, gomphoses, syndesmoses
Describe the characteristics of a suture joint?
interlocking, united via collagenous sutural ligament or membrane
Describe the characteristics of a gomphosis joint?
surface adapted (peg in hole) connected via fibrous tissue
describe the characteristics of a syndesmosis joint?
mostly stability, bones joined by interosseous ligament or membrane
name the primary and secondary cartilagenous joints?
synchondrosis and symphysis respectively
give examples of a secondary cartilagenous joint
intervertebral joints, between manubrium and sternum, pubic symphysis
give examples of a primary cartilagenous joint
chondrosternal joint
what do primary cartilaginous joints permit?
growth, stability and some mobility
describe the components of a diarthrodial joint?
2 layers of joint capsule, joint cavity, synovial tissue, synovial fluid, hyaline cartilage
in what region is the joint capsule more thin, loose, and redundant?
shoulder (more mobile
in what region is the joint capsule more thick and dense?
hip (more stabile)
Describe the characteristics of the first joint capsule layer
stratum fibrosum: outer layer, composed of dense connective tissue, type I collagen fibers and is poorly vascularized but richly innervated
describe the characteristics of the second layer of the joint capsule
Stratum synovium: inner layer, synovial fluid production, highly vascularized and innervated
what is function of synovial fluid?
reduce friction between bony surfaces and nourishes the articular cartilgae
what is synovial fluid composed of?
hyaluronic acid (viscosity and friction reducing) and lubricin (cartilage -cartilage lubricant)
relationship between velocity and fluid viscosity?
indirect (as movement increases, viscosity decreases)…less resistance to movement
relationship between temperature and fluid viscosity?
indirect
shape of the superior facets of C1?
concave
shape of occipital condyles?
convex
what motion and to what degree does the OA joint allow?
20 degrees flexion and extension, 5 degrees sidebending, 1 degree rotation
shape of inferior facet of C1?
slightly convex
what is the normal amount of head extension?
45 degrees
if you are sidebending to the right describe the movement of the ipsilateral and contralateral OA joints
ipsilateral side moves inferomedialy, contralateral side moves superolaterally
if you are rotating to the right describe the movement of the ipsilateral and contralateral OA joints?
ipsilateral (posterior and superior), contralateral (anterior and superior)
Unscrewing bottle cap
what is the orientation of the C2 superior facets?
convex
how many joints create the AA joint?
3 (one median-atlanto axial, 2 lateral)
Main movement at the OA joint?
flexion and extension
main movement at the AA joint?
rotation
how many degrees of rotation does the AA joint provide?
40 degrees
normal amount of rotation expected?
45 degrees *summation of AA and osteokinematic motion
describe the arthrokinematics at AA joint during right sided rotation?
Right side (posterior and inferior) left side (anterior and inferior)
