UNIT 4.4.JOINTS Flashcards
where is a joint? 3
between 2 bones
•between cartilage and bone
•between teeth and bones
Functional classification based on the degree and type of movement: ? 3
- synarthrosis= immovable = –CRANIUUM BONES
2.amphiarthrosis –
–slightly movable = VERTEBRAE
- diarthrosis (synovial)
–freely movable = – PELVIS + FEMUR
2) what is Syndesmosis
•Example: anterior tibiofibular joint.
Articulating surfaces are at distance, joined by dense irregular connective
where is syndesmosis found?
-between long bones of the body (radio-ulnar, tibio-fibular)
what is gomphosis?DENTOALVEOLAR ARTICULATIO
-Articulations between roots of teeth and their sockets.
2 types of artilagious joints?
- synchondrosis =• Connecting material is hyaline cartilage
2. symphiysis =• Connecting material between bones: flat disc of fibrocartilage.
what is articular capsule?
surrounds joint (movement/anti-dislocation
what is bursae?
-sac structure, elliviate friction
articular disc:
Cushion of fibrocartilage =Allows 2 bones of different shape to fit tightly.
TENDON SHEATHS
.
–Reduce tension at joints
outer= tendon
inner= bone
tendon sheat innervation and vascularisation?
near by nerves in muscle or structures
gliding =
between flat surf
Acromioclavicular
–Sternoclavicular
Abduction (out) and adduction (in) –
ball + socket joints (shoulder joint.
–hip joint).
condyloid
circumduction?
Occurs at ball and socket, saddle (trapezium and metacarpal of the thumb. )
condyloid joints.
Radiocarpal
rotation?
At ball & socket and pivot type joints (radio-ulnar joint )
