Articulations, Actions & Movements Flashcards
bones joined by dense fibrous connective tissue
fibrous joint
examples of fibrous joint
suture, syndesmosis, gomphosis
joint formed by the articulation of bones of the skull, in adult no movement permitted
suture
contains longer bands of fibers, depending on the specific joint, called ligaments or interosseous membranes
syndesmosis
a joint that binds teeth in sockets via the periodontal ligament
gomphosis
bones held together by cartilage
cartilaginous joint
examples of cartilaginous joints
synchondrosis & symphysis
hyaline cartilage is intervening material
synchondrosis
examples of synchondroses
epiphyseal plates and 1st sternocostal joint
fibrocartilage is intervening material
symphysis
examples of symphyses
pubic symphysis, invertebral discs
what are the parts of a synovial joint
articular cartilage (usually hyaline), joint cavity, articular capsule, synovial fluid, and reinforcing ligaments
space filled with synovial fluid
joint cavity
outer fibrous layer with an inner synovial membrane
articular capsule
ultrafiltered blood plasma that lubricates surfaces
synovial fluid
dense regular connective tissue that connects the articulating bones
reinforcing ligaments
what are the types of reinforcing ligaments
intrinsic (capsular), intracapsular, extracapsular
example of intracapsular reinforcing ligament
cruciate ligaments of knee
example of extracapsular ligament
collateral ligaments of knee
