25
When epiphyseal growth plates fuse, they become what?
Synostoses
26
Why do symphyses contain a pad of fibrocartilage between articulating bones?
Resist compression and tension stresses and act as a shock absorber
27
Where can symphyses be found?
In the pubic symphysis and in intervertebral discs
28
What are diarthrotic joints with a joint capsule called?
Synovial joints
29
What causes tremendous individual variation in joint mobility?
Body conditioning (yoga, stretching)
30
Hyper-mobility increases the risk of what?
Joint dislocation
31
What composes the articular capsule?
Fibrous capsule (outer layer) that strengthens the joint and the synovial membrane (inner layer) that secretes synovial fluid
32
What is the purpose of synovial fluid?
Nourishes and removes wastes from chondrocytes in articular cartilage and acts as a shock absorber
33
What is the joint cavity?
A space that contains a small amount of synovial fluid
34
What is the purpose of the hyaline "articular cartilage"?
Reduce friction in joints during movement, act as a spongy cushion to absorb compression, and prevent damage to the ends of bones
35
Mature cartilage is _____.
Avascular
36
Since damaged articular cartilage heals poorly, what may doctors do to treat it and promote healing?
Drill holes through the damaged articular cartilage into the epiphysis so blood can reach the cartilage and repair it
37
What does exercise do to articular cartilage?
Makes articular cartilage healthier through compression/relaxation which enhances nutrition and waste removal through synovial fluid
38
What is the purpose of ligaments?
Connect bone to bone while strengthening and reinforcing most synovial joints
39
What innervates and supplies the articular and associated ligaments?
Nerves and blood vessels
40
What are four accessory structures that may be found in synovial joints?
Bursae, tendon sheath, fat pads, and tendons
41
What are fibrous, saclike structures that contain synovial fluid and are lined by a synovial membrane called?
Bursa
42
What is a tendon sheath?
A modified, elongated bursa that wraps around tendons where excessive friction may occur
43
Where are tendon sheaths commonly found?
In the wrist and ankle joints
44
What are fat pads?
Packing material that is distributed along the periphery of synovial joints that provide protection
45
What do tendons do?
Attach muscles to bone; stabilize joints as they pass near and sometime limits the amount of movement permitted at a joint
46
What are uniaxial movments?
Movement in one plane
47
What are biaxial movements?
Movement in two planes
48
What are multiaxial movements?
Movement in more than two planes
49
What are the six types of synovial joints?
Planar, hinge, condyloid, saddle, pivot, and ball-and-socket joints
50
What joint is uniaxial and allows side-to-side movement with flat articular surfaces?
Planar joints
51
What are examples of planar joints?
Intercarpal joints, intertarsal joints, and joints between articulating processes of adjacent vertebrae
52
How are hinge joints classified?
Uniaxial joints with movement confined in a single plane with a convex surface of bone fitting into concave surface of another bone
53
What are some examples of hinge joints?
Humeroulnar joint, tibiofemoral joint, talocrural joint, and interphalangeal joints
54
What are uniaxial joints where the first bone rotates on a longitudinal axis relative to the second bone?
Pivot joints
55
What are examples of pivot joints?
Proximal radioulnar joint and atlantoaxial joint
56
What are biaxial joints that have an oval, convex surface on one bone that articulates with the concave articular surface of another bone?
Condyloid joints
57
What are examples of condyloid joints?
Metacarpophalangeal joints in fingers 2-5 and radiocarpal joint
58
What are saddle joints?
Biaxial joints that have a greater range of movement compared to condyloid and hinge joints
59
Carpometacarpal joint and the incudomalleolar joint are examples of what?
Saddle joints
60
What are ball-and-socket joints?
The most freely movable joint in the body that is multiaxial
61
What are examples of ball-and-socket joints?
Acetabulofemoral joint and glenohumeral joint
62
What acts as levers in the body?
Bones
63
What acts as force on levers?
Muscles
64
What are the fulcra in the body?
Joints
65
What are gliding movements?
A simple movement where two surfaces slide back-and-forth OR side-to-side without changing angles
66
What are angular movements?
Increasing or decreasing the angle between two bones
67
What are 7 examples of angular movements?
Flexion, extension, hyperextension, lateral flexion, adduction, abduction, and circumduction
68
What is movement in an anterior-posterior plane that decreases the angle between two bones called?
Flexion
69
What is movement of the trunk moving in a coronal plane away from the body called?
Lateral flexion
70
What is a series of movement where the proximal end of a bone remains stationary while the distal end of a bone moves in a circular motion called?
Circumduction
71
What is abduction?
Movement away from the midline of the body
72
What is adduction?
Movement towards the midline of the body
73
What is extension?
Opposite of flexion; movement in an anterior-posterior plane that increases the angle between two bones
74
Hyperextension occurs when the angle of the joint exceeds what?
180 degrees
75
What is a severe example of hyperextension in the spine?
Opisthotonos, which occurs in tetanus
76
Where does lateral flexion primarily occur?
Between the vertebrae in the cervical and lumbar regions
