Q

Synovial Joint:

Describe what a synovial joint is

A

The articulating bones of synovial joints are united by a joint capsule (composed of an outer fibrous layer lined by serous synovial membrane) spanning and enclosing an articular cavity

The joint cavity is a potential space that contains small amount of lubricating synovial fluid

Study These Flashcards
A

Tougue in groove joined by fibrous connective tissue

25
**Fibrous Joint:** What is _Gomphosis?_
Peg-in-socket joined by fibrous connective tissue
26
**Fibrous Joint:** What is _Syndesmosis_?
Two bones separated by a fibrous connective tissue
27
What are the two classifications of **Cartilagenous Joints?**
1. Synchondrosis 2. Symphysis
28
**Cartilaginous Joint:** Describe _Synchondrosis_
- Primary Cartilagenous joints - Temporary cartilaginous unions of **Hyaline Cartilage** \*Usually b/w the diaphysis and epiphysis of growing bone
29
**Cartilaginous Joint:** Describe _Symphysis_
- Secondary cartilaginous joints - Strong, slightly moveable joints
30
What is a **Compound Joint?**
-A joint that includes articulations from more than one of the three main categories of joints (Synovial, Fibrous, Cartilaginous)
31
**Vertebral Joints:** What is C1/C2?
Compound synovial joint (Planar and Trochoid)
32
**Intervertebral Joints:** Where are these joints?
C3-S1
33
Where is the **Symphysis** joint?
S5/Col
34
Where are the Zygopophyseal Joints? Describe
C1-S1 Planar Synovial
35
HN: At the cervical intervertebral joint, the joint b/w the ________ of the inferior vertebra dn beveled inferior surface of the superior vertebra is described as an **Uncovertaebral Joint (of \_\_\_\_\_\_\_)**.
Uncinate process; Luschka
36
Where does the **Anterior Longitudinal L.** travel?
The anterior surface of the vertebral bodies
37
CN: Hyperextension, or "whiplash" injury is common in automobile accidents and results in excessive stretching and even tearing of...
Anterior Longitudinal L.
38
CN: Why is the **Anterior Longitudinal L.** important clinically?
Due to it's... - Possible splinting action - Should be used whenever fracture of the vertebral column is suspected (except cervical fractures) - Pt. should be kept in hyperextension at all times - The pull of the Anterior Longitudinal L. will help realign fragments of bone and keep further injury to the spinal cord from occuring
39
Where does the **Posterior Longitudinal L.** travel?
Travels on the dorsal surface of the vertebral bodies
40
Where does the **Ligamentum Flavum** travel? How is it Identified?
Travels on the **ventral surfaces** of the vertebral laminae Pale yellow fibers
41
Where does the **Interspinous L.** travel?
Between adjacent spinous processes
42
Where does **Intertransverse L.** travel?
\*not well defined in cervical region Fibrous cords in the thoracic region, thin membranes in lumbar region
43
Where does the **Supraspinous L.** travel?
Travels on dorsal surface of vertebral spinous process
44
Intervertebral Discs: What are the two important anatomical aspects?
1. Annulus Fibrosis 2. Nucleus Pulposus
45
Intervertebral discs: What is the **annulus fibrosis?**
Tough fibrous outer region, overlapping lamellae of fibrocartilage
46
Intervertebral discs: What is the **Nucleus Pulposus?**
Soft gelatinous inner portion
47
CN: What is a common cause of lower back pain?
Herniation of the **nucleus pulposas** through the **annulus fibrosis** \*Result: Bulge and compress spinal nerve roots, the cauda equina and spinal nerves Most common: L4/5 and L5/S1 (where discs are much larger and more mobile)
48
Describe the **Second Number Rule:**
For the ***cervical and lumbar regions***, the vertebral level at which the prolapse occurs witll affect the spinal nerve with the **second number** designation. EXAMPLE: A prolapse at C5/6 will affect spinal nerve 6
49
Where is the **Atlanto-occpital joint?**
Between the **atlas** and **basilar occipital b.**
50
What kind of joint is the **Atlanto-occipital joint?**
Condyloid Synovial Joint
51
Atlantoocipital Joint Label the following: A) Anterior Atlantooccipital Membrane B) Posterior Atlantooccipital Membrane
52
What kind of joint is the **Median Atlantoaxial joint?**
Trochoid Synovial Joint
53
Go to page 314 og Olinger's Atlas: TEST SELF ON... Atlantoocipital Joint: a) Anterior Atlantoocipital Membrane b) Tectorial Membrane c) Posterior Atlantoocipital Membrane
54
Go to page 314 og Olinger's Atlas: TEST SELF ON... **Median Atlantoaxial Joint** a) Cruciate L. b) Alar L. c) Apical L.
55
What type of joint is a **Lumbosacral Joint?**
Compound joint! Symphysis and Planar synovial b/w L5 and the Sacrum
56
Go to page 319 of Olinger's Atlas: TEST SELF ON... Lumbosacral Joint: Label the following: 1. Anterior Longitudinal L 2. Posterior Longitudinal L 3. Ligamentum Flavum 4. Interspinous L 5. Intertransverse L 6. Supraspinous L 7. Illiolumbar L.
1. Travels on ventral surface of vertebral bodies, onto the ventral surface of the sacrum 2. Travels on dorsal surface of the vertebral bodies, onto the anterior wall of the sacral canal 3. Pale yellow fibers which travel on the ventral surfaces of vertebral laminae, onto the posterior wall of the sacral canal 4. ABSENT 5. ABSENT 6. ABSENT 7. Travels from L5 transverse process to the Illiac crest
