Test #3 Flashcards
List all the examples of cartilaginous joints discussed in the course.
- costochondral, sternocostal, symphysis pubis, spinal articular disks.
- Aka amphiarthrodial.
- Allow for compression, recoil, spring, shock absorption, bending, twisting, etc.
List all the examples of fibrous joints discussed in the course.
- sutures of the skull (coronal, lambdoid, sagittal, squamous) & Interlocking bone ends covered with fibrous periosteum
- Allows for shape, strength & stability.
- (Aka synarthrodial)
List all examples of Diarthrodial or synovial non-axial (gliding) joints discussed in the course.
- sacroiliac, patello-femoral, subtalar, intertarsals, costovertebral, intercarpals.
- 4 examples that have synovium & support refined movement & act as pulleys for tendons.
- Non-measurable ROM.
List all examples of Diarthrodial or synovial uniaxial (hinge) joints discussed in the course.
- atlanto-occipital, C1-C2, tibiofemoral, talocrural, PIP, IP, DIP of toes & fingers, radio-ulno-humeral (elbow), radio-ulnar, MCP of thumb.
- 13 examples that have synovium & produce movement in only one plane (one degree of freedom).
List all examples of Diarthrodial or synovial biaxial joints discussed in the course.
Which joint is a modified biaxial or condylar joint?
- MTP of toes, SC, radiocarpal, CMC (modified condylar), MCP fingers.
- 5 examples that have synovium & produce movement in two planes (two degrees of freedom).
List all examples of Diarthrodial or synovial triaxial joints discussed in the course.
- TMJ, cervical, thoracic & lumbar facets, iliofemoral, glenohumeral.
- 6 examples that have synovium & produce movement in three planes (three degrees of freedom).
What is the primary function of the synovial fluid?
Limits joint friction, improves freedom of movement, shock absorption, protection of joint ends, moisturizes hyaline cartilage
What is the primary function of the joint capsule?
maintain synovial joint bone ends in approximation, maintain joint alignment, encase synovial membrane & fluid, provide joint stability.
What is the primary function of the Hyaline cartilage?
articular cartilage that keeps bone ends smooth & freely moving, protects bone ends. When it erodes, people develop symptoms of osteoarthritis.
What is the primary function of the ligament?
improve stability of joint by anchoring bones together. Often reinforces capsule thus improving joint stability. May also provide increased area for muscular attachment
What is the primary function of the tendon?
tough, dense, contractile connective tissue that attaches the fibers of a muscle to the bone thus producing movement about a joint.
What is the primary function of the bursa?
synovial fluid filled sack that is located between tendons and bones that serves to prevent friction & wear / tear of tendons.
Aponeurosis
powerful, large, broad tendinous attachments of significant muscles that span several joints.
Which of the following joint categories is most mobile? Least mobile?
A) Fibrous B) Cartilaginous C) Synovial D) Gliding E) Hinge F) Ball & Socket
- Most mobile: (F) Ball & Socket
- Least mobile: (A) Fibrous
What is another name for each?
A) Fibrous B) Cartilaginous C) Synovial D) Gliding E) Hinge F) Ball & Socket
A) Synarthrodial B) Amphiarthrodial C) Diarthrodial D) Non-axial synovial E) Uni-axial synovial F) Tri-axial synovial
