Unit 5- Arthrology Flashcards
joint
formed when two or more skeletal structures are united to each other or to teeth by connective tissue
simple joint
joint with only two skeletal components
composite/ complex joint
a joint with 3 or more skeletal structures
fibrous joint
have fibrous connective tissue uniting the skeletal components
syndesmoses
fibrous joint with a significant amount of uniting connective tissue
sutures
fibrous joint between flat bones of the skull
serrated suture
sagittal suture
squamous suture
between parietal bone and squamous portion of the temporal bone on each side
planar suture
no overlapping and no interlocking bones
schindylesis
thin plate of one bone articulates in a cleft of another one as in articulation of the ethmoid bone and vomer
cartilaginousjoint
skeletal components of cartilaginous joints united by cartilage
hyaline cartilage joint
epiphyseal cartilages (physes) in growing bones
fibrocartilage joint
secondary joints, pubic symphysis, intervertebral symphyses and manubriosternal symphysis
synovial joint
7 subtypes based on the shape of articulating surfaces and type of movement they allow
ball & socket joint
“ball” shoulder joint and hip joint
ellipsoid or condylar joint
radiocarpal joint -no rotation-
