  • reduce friction between the tendon and its surrounding structures.
A

SYNOVIAL SHEATH

44
Q

50
Q

Classification of joints

A
  • Fibrous joints
  • Cartilaginous joints
  • Synovial joints
51
Q

The articulating surfaces of the bones are joined by fibrous tissues, and thus very little movement is possible (skull, inferior Tibiofibular jt)

pubis)

cavity of the joint lined by ___________, which extends from the margins of one articular
surface to those of the other

SYNOVIAL MEMBRANE

57
Q

Classifications of Synovial Joints

A
  • Plane joints
  • Hinge joints
  • Pivot joints
  • Condyloid joints
  • Ellipsoid joints
  • Saddle joints
  • Ball-and-socket joints
58
Q

the apposed articular surfaces are flat or almost flat, and this permits the bones to slide on one another (AcromioClavicular, SternoClavicular joint)

A

PLANE JOINTS

59
Q

resemble the hinge on a door, so that flexion and extension movements are possible (elbow, knee, ankle)

A

HINGE JOINTS/ GINGLYMUS JOINTS

60
Q

a central bony pivot is surrounded by a bony–ligamentous ring, and rotation is the only movement possible. (Atlantoaxial joint, superior RadioUlnar jt)

A

PIVOT JOINTS

61
Q
  • Have two distinct convex surfaces that articulate with two concave surfaces.
  • The movements of flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction are possible together with a small amount of rotation. (MCP/knuckle joint)
A

CONDYLOID JOINTS

62
Q
  • elliptical convex articular surface fits into an elliptical concave articular surface.
  • The movements of flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction can take place, but rotation is impossible (wrist jt).
A

ELLIPSOID JOINTS

62
Q
  • the articular surfaces are reciprocally concavoconvex and resemble a saddle on a horse’s back.
  • These joints permit flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation (Carpometacarpal of thumb)
A

SADDLE JOINTS

63
Q
  • a ball-shaped head of one bone fits into a socket like concavity of another.
  • This arrangement permits free movements, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, medial rotation, lateral rotation, and circumduction (shoulder and hip joint)
A

BALL-AND-SOCKET JOINTS

64
Q

Stability of Joints

A
  • The shape, size, and arrangement of articular surfaces
  • The ligaments
