Joint Structure and Function Flashcards
Synarthrosis
Junction between bones that allow for slight to no movement
Synarthrosis Function
Bind strongly and transfer forces between bones
Fibrous Synarthrosis Joint
Dense connective tissue joins bone
Cartilaginous Synarthrosis Joint
Flexible fibrocartilage or hyaline carilage joins
Diarthrodial
Junction that allow moderate to extensive movement
Most joints in body
Uniaxial
Movement occurs in 1 plane
Hinge or pivot
Biaxial
Movement occurs in 2 planes
Condyloid or saddle
Triaxial/Multiaxial
Movement in 3 planes
Plane or spheroidal
Osteokinematics
Movement of bones in space usually described in planes of motion
Arthrokinematics
Movement that occurs between the articular surface of joints
Convex on concave
Roll and glide occur in opposite direction
Concave on convex
Roll and glide in same direction
Close Packed Position
Position that provides maximum congruency
Loose Packed Position
Position that results in most joint play
Capsular Pattens
Characters of synovial joints
Triaxial always includes rotation
Not a fixed degreed of motion loss, but math fixed proportion of motion loss
