Week 7 Flashcards
Articulation
Joint -
site where two or more bones meet
Functions of Joints
Gives skeleton mobility
Holds skeleton together - stability
Functional Classification of Joints
Synarthroses
Amphiarthroses
Diarthroses
Structural Classification of joints
Fibrous
Cartilaginous
Synovial
Synarthroses
immovable
Amphiarthroses
slightly moveable
Diarthroses
freely moveable
Fibrous joints
collagen holds things together - strong
axial skeleton
Cartilaginous joints
connecting together
flexible
vertebral column discs
axial skeleton
Synovial joint
A lot more motion
Appendicular skeleton
Three types of fibrous joints
Where movement is not ideal
Sutures
Syndesmoses
Gomphoses
Sutures
Fibrous
Where cranial bones join together
Syndomoses
holding together of bones
Stability
Tibia and fibula
Gomphoses
alveolar margin - socket of the mandible and maxilla and the feature of the tooth fitting into it.
Held together by the periodontal ligament
Synchondrosis
Synarthrotic cartilage to bone do not move
1st sternocostal joint (bar or plate of hyaline cartilage)
rest of ribs to sternum are considered synovial
Epiphyseal plates are synchondrosese too
