Arthrology of the Skull Flashcards
What are the four subclassifications of synarthrosis joints based on Latin groupings?
- suture
- gomphosis
- schindylesis
- syndesmosis
What were the five types of suture based on Latin groupings?
- serrate
- denticulate
- limbous
- squamous
- harmonia
What are the characterisitics of sutura vera (true sutures)?
- sutures demonstrating interlocking of the adjacent bone surfaces
- typically formed by intramembranous ossification
What are the characterisitics of sutura notha (false sutures)?
- sutures lacking interlocking of adjacent bone surfaces
- typically formed by endochondral ossification
Which sutures primarily interlock at their edges?
- serrate
- denticulate
Which sutures will interlock and overlap at their edges?
limbous
Which sutures demonstrate non-interlock, but will overlap at their edges?
squamous
Which sutures will neither interlock nor overlap at their edges?
harmonia
What were the classifications of sutura vera based on Latin groupings?
- serrate
- denticulate
- limbous
What were the classifications of sutura notha based on Latin groupings?
- squamous
- harmonia
What is the classification of a joint with saw-like interlock of bone surfaces?
serrate suture
What is the classification of a joint with tooth-like interlock of bone surfaces?
denticulate suture
What is the classification of a joint with a selvage or fabric border appearance between the adjacent bone surfaces?
limbous suture
What is the classification of a joint with scale-like interlock of bone surfaces?
squamous suture
What is the classification of a joint demonstrating a relatively flat, abutting appearance of the adjacent bone surfaces?
harmonia suture
