Unit 3 - Articular System Flashcards
joint is an immovable joint
Synarthrosis
joint is a slightly movable joint
Amphiarthrosis
joint is a freely movable joint
Diarthosis
Synarthroses
Four major types:
Suture: Located in the bones of the skull
Gomphosis: Connection between a tooth and its socket
Synchondrosis: Epiphyseal cartilage in long bones
Synostosis: Are totally immovable joints
Amphiarthroses
Two major types:
Syndesmosis: A ligament band connecting bones (tibia and fibula or ulnar and radius)
Symphysis: Bones are separated by a wedge or a pad of fibrocartilage (pubis and intervertebral discs)

Syndesmosis
Bones are separated by a wedge or a pad of fibrocartilage (pubis and intervertebral discs)
Symphysis
The components that make up a synovial joint are:
Fibrous articular capsule Synovial cavity Synovial membrane Haversian fat pads Articular (hyaline) cartilage Ligaments Tendons Bursae
The synovial membrane contains ____ and ______ which make up the synovial fluid.
phagotic cells and B cells
A joint that allows movement in only one axis is called
Monaxial.
A joint that allows movement in along two different axes is called
Biaxial.
A joint that permits a combination of angular movement and rotation is called
Triaxial or Multiaxial.
synovial joints can be classified as
liding, hinge, pivot, ellipsoidal, saddle, or ball-and-socket.
Range of Motion is restricted by:
Skeletal Structures
Ligaments
Muscles
is a rigid structure, such as a bone, that moves at a fixed point called a fulcrum.
lever
There are three classes of levers found in the human body:
1) First-Class Lever: The fulcrum lies between the applied force and the resistance (e.g triceps insertion at the elbow)
2) Second-Class Lever: The resistance is located between the applied force and the fulcrum (e.g. plantar flexors inserion at the ankle)
3) Third-Class Lever: A force is applied between the applied force and the fulcrum (e.g. biceps insertion at the elbow)
The fulcrum lies between the applied force and the resistance (e.g triceps insertion at the elbow)
first class lever
The resistance is located between the applied force and the fulcrum (e.g. plantar flexors inserion at the ankle)
Second-Class Lever
A force is applied between the applied force and the fulcrum (e.g. biceps insertion at the elbow)
third class level
Attaches the vertebral bodies to each other
Anterior and Posterior Longitudinal Ligaments
Connects the vertebral arches (laminae) of adjacent vertebrae
Ligamentum Flava
Connects the spinous processes of adjacent vertebral
Interspinous Ligaments
