Chapter 9 Flashcards
the place of contact between bones, between bone and cartilage
joint/articulation
where bones are held together by dense regular (fibrous) connective tissue
No joint cavity
fibrous joint
where bones are joined by cartilage
no joint cavity
cartilaginous joint
fluid filled cavity that separates the cartilage-covered articulating surfaces of the bones
synovial joint
immobile joint
fibrous: suture, gomphosis
cartilaginous: synchondrosis
synarthrosis
slightly mobile joint
fibrous: syndesmosis
cartilaginous: symphysis
amphiarthrosis
freely mobile joint
synovial
diarthrosis
periodontal membranes hold tooth to bony jaw.
fibrous joint
synarthrosis
gomphosis
dense regular connective tissue connects skull bones
synarthrosis
fibrous
suture
dense regular connective tissue fibers between bones
amphiarthrosis
syndesmosis
hyaline cartilage between bones
cartilaginous
synathrosis
synchondrosis
fibrocartilage pad between bones
amphiarthrosis
cartilaginous
symphysis
synovial joints
plane joints, hinge joints, pivot joints (uniaxial) condylar joint, saddle joint (biaxial) ball&soocket (multi axial) Freely movable (diarthrosis)
shafts of the two articulating bones are bound side by side by a broad ligamentous sheet
interosseous membrane
each synovial joint is composed of a double-layered capsule
articular capsule
outer layer of synovial joint
fibrous layer
inner layer of synovial joint
synovial membrane
all articulating surfaces in a synovial joint are covered by a thin layer of hyaline cartilage
articular cartilage
a space that contains a small amount of synovial fluid
joint cavity
a fibrous,saclike structure that contains synovial fluid and is lined by a synovial membrane
bursa
wraps around tendons where there may be excessive friction
tendon sheath
attaches a muscle to a bone, composed of dense regular connective tissue
tendons
provide some protection for the joint
fat pads
simplest synovial articulation and least mobile type of diarthrosis
plane joint
