Exam 3- Chapter 8 Flashcards
Site where two are more bones meet
Articulation
Functions of joints
- Give skeleton mobility
2. Hold skeleton together
Weakest parts of the skeleton
joints
immovable joint
synarthroses
slightly moveable joint
amphiarthroses
freely moveable joint, most common type
Diarthroses
Fribrous joints
- Sutures
- Syndesmoses
- gosmophoses
RIgis interlocking joints containing shorts connective tissue fibers, allow for growth
sutures
Bones connected by ligaments
Syndesmoses
peg-in-socket joints of teeth in alveolar sockets
gomphoses
bones united by cartilage, no joint cavity
cartilaginous joints
two types of cartilaginous joints
- Synchondroses
2. Symphyses
A bar or plate of hyaline cartilage unites bone
Synchondroses
Hyaline cartilage covers the articulating surfaces and is fused to an intervening pad of fibrocartilage, acts as a shock absorber to prevent to much movement
Symphyses
All are diarthrotic, include all limb joints
Synovial joints
Lubricates and nourishes articular cartilage
Synovial fluid
reinforcing ligaments
- Capsular
- Extracepsular
- Intracapsular
part of the fibrouscapsule
capsular
outside of the capsule
extracapsular
deep to capsule; covered by synovial membrane
intracapsular
detect pain and monitor joint position and stretch
rich nerve fibers
capillary beds produce filatrae for synovial fluid
blood vessel supple
flattedned, firbous sacs lined with synovial membranes; contain synovial fluid
bursae
elongated bursa that wraps completley around a tendon
tendon sheath
