33
Q

Fibrous layer definition

A

Superficial (next to the fibrous membrane); collagen fibers and fibroblasts

34
Q

Cellular layer def:

A

Deep (next to the synovial cavity); synoviocytes, blood vessels, and scattering of collagen fibers

35
Q

cellular level is made up of:

- macrophage-like synovial (Type A) cells

36
Q

Fibroblastic synovial (Type B/fibroblast-like) cells:

37
Q

Macrophage-like synovial (Type A) cells:

A

Immediately next to synovial cavity; phagocytic

38
Q

Synovial cavity (joint/articular cavity/space):

A

Interior of the joint filled with synovial fluid

39
Q

Synovial fluid

A

Viscous, gel-like fluid composed primarily of hyaluronic acid and blood plasma

40
Q

Fxns of synovial fluid

A
  • lubrication
  • cushioning/protection
  • nourishment of articular cartilage
41
Q

Associated structures of synovial joint:

A
  • articular disk (meniscus)
  • bursa
  • other ligaments . . .
42
Q

Articular disk (meniscus):

A

Fibrocartilage pad located between articular surfaces

43
Q

Bursa:

A

Synovial membrane sac filled with synovial fluid (may be continuous with the synovial cavity

44
Q

Other ligaments . . .

A

In addition to the fibrous membrane/layer of the joint capsule

45
Q

Types of synovial joints

A
  • ball-and-socket (spheroidal)
  • condyloid (ellipsoidal)
  • saddle
  • gliding
  • hinge
  • pivot
46
Q

How do ball-and-socket (spheroidal) synovial joints work?

A
  • Globular/spheroidal surface of one bone articulates with a cup-shaped surface of another bone
  • multiaxial
47
Q

Condyloid (ellipsoidal) synovial joint

A
  • convex oval-shaped surface of one bone articulates with a concave elliptical surface of another bone
  • biaxial
48
Q

Saddle (sellar) synovial joint

A
  • each articulating surface has both concave and convex regions; surface of one bone fits the complementary surface of another
  • biaxial
49
Q

Gliding (arthrodial/planar/sliding) synovial joint

A
  • articulating surfaces are nearly flat

- nonaxial

50
Q

Hinge (ginglymoidal) synovial joint

A
  • convex cylindrical surface of one bone articulates with concave cylindrical surface of another
  • uniaxial
51
Q

Pivot (trochoidal) synovial joint

A
  • cylindrical pin of one bone rotates within a ring formed f bone and ligament
  • uniaxial
52
Q

Synovial joint movement classifications

A
  • angular
  • circular
  • special movements
53
Q

Angular synovial joint movement

A

Movements within a sagittal plane of the body

54
Q

Angular movement examples

A

Flexion - leave anatomical position

Extension - generally return back to anatomical position

Hyperextension - extension beyond anatomical position

Dorsiflexion & plantar flexion - only at the tall rural joint of the ankle region

55
Q

Types of circular synovial joint movement

A
  • rotation

- circumduction

56
Q

Circular movement: rotation

A

Movement of bud part around its own long axis

57

A

Movement in which the distal end of the segment moves in a circle while the proximal end remains relatively fixed

58
Q

Synovial joint movements: special movements (& examples of each)

A

Inversion & eversion - movement of the sole of the foot medially or laterally

Elevation and depression - movement of a body part upwards or downwards

Protraction and retraction - movement of a body part fwd or backward, parallel to the horiozontal surface

59

69
Q

What causes rheumatoid arthritis?

A

Autoimmune disease involving synovial joints
