Articulations

Question 0

The 6 Joint Structures

Answer 0

Tendons, Ligaments, Bursae, Tendon Sheath, Menisci, and Fat Pad

Question 1

What is an articulation?

Answer 1

A joint; where two bones come together

Question 2

Tendons

Answer 2

Connects muscle to bone

Question 3

Ligaments

Answer 3

Connects bone to bone

Question 4

Bursae

Answer 4

Small sacs lined with a synovial membrane and filled with synovial fluid. Cushions between bones, muscle, and tendons.

Question 5

Tendon Sheath

Answer 5

Synovial fluid filled tubular sac wrapped around a cord-like tendon. Cushions tendon when rubbing against a bone, muscle, or other tendon.

Question 6

Menisci

Answer 6

Fibrocartilage disc between bones to allow contouring of synovial joint.

Question 7

Fat Pad

Answer 7

Pad of fat located around joints for protection and cushion.

Question 8

What are the three functional joints of the body?

Answer 8

Synarthrosis (no movement), amphiarthrosis (little movement), and diarthrosis (variable movement)

Question 9

Functional joints are based on the _______.

Answer 9

Movement between bones

Question 10

What are the three types of structural joints?

Answer 10

Fibrous Joints, Cartilaginous Joints, Synovial Joints

Question 11

Fibrous joints are connected by

Answer 11

Fibers

Question 12

Cartilaginous joints are connected by

Answer 12

Cartilage

Question 13

Synovial joints are connected by

Answer 13

Joint cavity (filled with synovial fluid)

Question 14

Which type of joints make up the majority of bone comnections?

Answer 14

Synovial Joints

Question 15

What is the functional joint of the synovial joint?

Answer 15

Diarthrosis (variable movement)

Question 16

________ connects bones with a fluid-filled joint complex.

Answer 16

Joint Cavity

Question 17

Name the four sub-classifications for diarthrosis joints

Answer 17

Monoaxial, biaxial, triaxial, nonaxial

Question 18

Name the four sub-classifications for synovial joints

Answer 18

Hinge/pivot, condyloid/saddle, ball and socket, gliding

Question 19

Nonaxial

Answer 19

Diarthrosis functional joint with no plane of movement

Question 20

Monoaxial. What plane/s?

Answer 20

One plane of movement; saggital plane and horizontal plane

Question 21

Biaxial. What plane/s?

Answer 21

Two planes of movement; saggital plane + coronal plane, and saggital plane + horizontal plane

Question 22

Triaxial. Plane/s?

Answer 22

Saggital + Coronal + Horizontal

Question 23

Name the three fibrous joints

Answer 23

Sutural joints, syndesmosis joints, gomphosis joints

Question 24

Describe sutural joints

Answer 24

Short fibers connect bones, no movement allowed (synarthrosis), seen in bones of the skull

Question 25

Describe syndesmosis joints

Answer 25

Longer fibers connect bones, little movement allowed (amphiarthrosis), seen in long bones arms/legs

Question 26

Describe gomphosis joints

Answer 26

Short fibers that connect teeth to the jaw, no movement allowed (synarthrosis)

Question 27

Name the 2 Cartilaginous Joints

Answer 27

Synchondrosis Joints & Symphysis Joints

Question 28

Describe synchondrosis joints

Answer 28

Hyaline cartilage connects the bones, no movement allowed (synarthrosis), seen in rib number 1 and sternum only

Question 29

Describe Symphysis Joints

Answer 29

Fibrocartilage connects bones, little movement allowed (amphiarthrosis), seen in intervertebral discs (pubic symphysis)
