Chapter 9 Joints Flashcards
(28 cards)
Amphiarthroses
Slightly movable
Synarthroses
Immovable
Diarthroses
Freely movable
Fibrous tissues
Mostly immovable; there are 3 types; sutures, syndesmoses, gomphoses
Sutures
Filled with ct fibers; and synostoses when skull bones fuse
Fibrous: syndesmoses
Bones connected by fibrous tissues; tibia and fibula, radius and ulna
Gomphoses
Fibrous connection, periodontal ligament + symphyses
Cartilage joints
Lack joint cavity; syndroses + symphyses
Synchondroses
Plate of hyaline cartilage unites bones they are all synarthrotic; ephysis of children; rib and sternum
Symphyses
Fused to pad of fibrocartilage, amphiathrotic designed for strength and flexibility; pubic symphysis and intervertebral
Synovial joints
Seperated by fluid containing joint cavity; all are diarthroses; limbs and most joints of body
Synovial structure
Articular cartilage, joint cavity, articular capsule, synovial fluid, reinforcing ligaments
Synovial friction-reducing structure
Bursae: flattened fibrous sacs lines with synovial membranes and synovial fluid, ex. Ligaments, muscle, skin, tendons, or bones rub together
Tendon sheath: elongated bursa wraps completely around tendon
Synovial stability
articular surfaces, ligaments, tendons kept tight by muscle tone
Types of synovial joints
Plane joints, articular surfaces, hinge joints
Pivot joints
Uniaxial movement allowed, protrudes a sleeve or ring composed of bone examples: joint between the axis and the dens and proximal radio ulnar joint, condyloid or ellipsoidal
Saddle joints
Similar Condyloid joints but greater movement, concave and convex surface, carpometacarpal joint of thumb
Ball socket joints
Spherical and hemispherical head of one bone that articulate with cup like socket multiaxial joints freely moving synovial joints, shoulder and hip joints
Synovial shoulder
Stability sacrificed to acquire freedom of movement, humerus articulating with glenoid fossa
Synovial shoulder stability
Weak; thin loose joint capsule, for ligaments coracohumral and three glenohumeral
Synovial knee
Largest and most complex joint of body, flexion, extension, and rotation, femoropatellar
Sprains
Ligaments reinforcing a joint are stretched or torn, slowly repair when partially torn, completely torn require surgical repair
Cartilage injuries
The snap and pop of over stressed cartilage, common aerobics injury, repairs with arthroscopic surgery
Dislocation
When bones are forced out of alignment usually acompanied by sprains inflammation and immobilizations
