Q

• Joint Classifications:

A

o Synarthroses- ‘suture lines’ found in skull
o Amphiarthroses- adjacent bones bound by flexible fibrocartilage (ex: pubic symphysis, SI jt upper 2/3rds, intervertebral discs)
o Diarthroses-articular design, contain synovial membrane and synovial fluid (lower 1/3rd SI joint, crico arytenoid, TMJ, facets, knee, etc.)

Q

• Synovial Fluid roles:

A

o Reduction of friction - lubricates the articulating joints
o Shock absorption - becomes more viscous under applied pressure.
o Nutrient and waste transportation
