types of joints Flashcards
in the skull
suture
around the teeth
Gomphosis
around bone
syndesmosis
no fluid filled cavity and the bones are held together by dense regular collagenous connective tissue
Fibrous joints
the three fibrous joints
suture, gomphosis and syndesmosis
lack a synovial cavity and allow little or no movement. the bones are held together by either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage
Cartilaginous joint
Have a fluid-filled synovial cavity between the articulating bones. Most of the body’s joints are this
synovial joint
the four cartilaginous joints (have to know 2)
Synchondroses, symphyses, synchondroses and symphyses
the epiphyseal plate
Synchondroses
intervertebral joint
Symphyses
between ribs and costal cartilage
synchondroses
pubic symphysis
symphyses
what are the 6 types of a synovial joint
plane joint, hinge joint, condylar joint, pivot joint, saddle joint and ball-and-socket joint
nonaxial: intercarpal joint
plane joint
uniaxial: elbow joint
hinge joint
uniaxial: atlantoaxial joint
pivot joint
biaxial: metacarpophalangeal joint
condylar joint
biaxial: carpometacarpal joint of thumb
saddle joint
multiaxial: shoulder joint
Ball-and-socket joint
slipping or gliding movements
nonaxial
movements around one axis
uniaxial
movement around two axes
biaxial
movement around all three axes
multiaxial
