Unit 8 Flashcards
Name the 2 Classifications of Joints
Structural & functional
Name 3 types of joints that bind joints based on material
Structural ; Fibrous , Cartilaginous, Synovial
Name 3 types of Functional Joints
Synarthroses , Amphiarthroses, Diarthroses
Synarthroses are …
Immovable joints
Amphiarthroses are …
Slightly movable joints
Diarthroses are ..
freely movable joints
Fibrous joints are joined by ?
Dense fibrous tsx. w/ no joint cavity
Name 3 types of fibrous joints
Sutures, Syndesmoses, Gomphoses
Sutures are only found where ?
Skull
Sutures are
interconnected fibers that hold bone edges together
Syndesmoses are connected by ?
ligaments & varies in fiber length
the best example of gomphoses are ?
teeth in alveolar sockets
Cartilaginous Joints unite bones by ?
Cartilage w/ no joint cavity
What are the 2 types of cartilage joints ?
Synchondroses & Sympheses
Synchondroses are ..
plate of hyaline cartilage that unites bones
An example of Synchondroses is the
epiphyseal plate
Which cartilage unites sympheses joints ?
fibrocartilage with amphiarthrotic joints
Give 2 examples of sympheses joints ?
Intervertebral joints & pubic symphysis
Synovial joints are separated by ?
Fluid filled joint activity that are diarthrotic
Name the 6 features of synovial joints
Articular cartilage, synovial cavity, articulate capsule, synovial fluid, reinforcing ligaments, verve’s & blood vessels
What is articular cartilage ?
hyaline cartilage that covers ends of bones
What is synovial cavity ?
fluid filled space in synovial joints
What is the articular capsule ?
It’s 2 layers thick : external fibrous layer ( dense irregular ) & synovial membrane (loose connective )
What is synovial fluid ?
plasma & hyaluronic acid
what is the function of synovial fluid ?
lubricates & nourishes articular cartilage ; contains phagocytes that eat up cells
Define & Identify the 3 types of reinforcing ligaments .
Capsular : thickened part of fibrous layer
Extracapsular : outside the capsule
Intracapsular : deep to capsule
