Lab #5 Articulations Flashcards
Joint
An articulation, where bone makes contact with another bone, cartilage, or teeth. These structures articulate with each other.
Mobility vs Stability
The more Mobility a joint has, the less stability it will have
Classification of Joints (2 types)
Function: based on degree of mobility between 2 bones Structure: based on they type of connective tissue involved binding the two bones
Function:
Based on the degree of mobility between 2 bones
Structure:
Based on the type of connective tissue involved binding the two bones
Joints based on function: (3 types, name them and describe what they do.)
- Synarthrosis: an immobile joint 2. Amphiarthrosis: a slightly mobile joint 3. Diarthrosis: a freely movable joint
Joints based on structure: (3 types, name them and describe what they do.)
- Fibrous- Bones held together by dense regular C.T. 2. Cartilaginous- Bones held together by cartilage 3. Synovial- Bones separated by fluid filled cavity which is enclosed by a capsule and stabilized by ligaments
3 Types of Fibrous Joints (jt based on structure)
- Gomphosis- teeth with mandible and maxilla 2. Suture- Between bones of skull 3. Syndesmosis- Bones joined by long strands of C.T. ie. Radius & Ulna
2 Types of Cartilaginous Joints (jt. based on structure)
- Synchondroses: immobile joints with bones by hyaline cartilage. (synarthrotic)
- Symphyses: Slight mobility with a pad of fibrocartilage between articulation bones (Amphiarthrotic)
What classifies a synovial joint?
Must have: 1. Articular capsule- double fibrous layer that surrounds the entire joint with inner synovial membrane 2. Joint cavity- physical space separating the two articulating bones 3. Synovial fluid- fluid inside joint cavity 4. Articular cartilages 5. ligaments, nerves, & blood vessles
Ligaments
connect bone to bone, and strengthen/ reinforce most synovial membranes.
Nerves
detect painful stimuli when the joint is stretched to an excess
Blood vessels
provide nourishment to the joint
Bursa
saclike structure found around the outside of most synovial membranes
Tendon sheath
elongated burse wrapping around a tendon particularly found in confined areas (wrist/ankle) where many tendons rub up against eachother
6 types of synovial joints from least movable to most movable.
- Plane joint 2. Hinge joint 3. Pivot joint 4. Condylar joint 5. Saddle joint 6. Ball-and-socket joint
4 types of movement at a synovial joint
- gliding (planar jt) 2. angular (hinge joint…anything that changes the angle.) 3. Rotational (movement about an axis) 4. Special movements (ie. opposition…by thumb)
Angular motion includes what four types of movement?
Flexion/ extension, abduction/ adduction, lateral flexion, and circumduction.
Rotational motion includes what types of movement?
Internal (Medial)/ External (Lateral), Inversion/ Eversion.
Special Movements include 5 types of movement. What are they?
- depression vs. elevation 2. dorsiflexion vs. plantar flexion 3. inversion vs. eversion 4. protraction vs. retraction 5. oppostion
