Joints and Joint Types Flashcards

1
Q

What is a fibrous joint?

A
  • Bones joined by dense connective tissue (mainly collagen)
  • Have no joint cavities.
  • Permit no movement.

Q

What is a cartilaginous joint?

A

Bones united by cartilage (fibrous or hyaline cartilage)

Allow for very little movement.

Q

What two types of cartilaginous joints do we have?

A

Primary cartilaginous joints (synchondroses)

  • United by hyaline cartilage
  • Accept little or no movement.
  • A sternocostal joint of first rib.

Secondary cartilaginous joints (symphyses)

  • Joined by fibrocartilage.
  • Slightly moveable joints.
  • Pubic symphysis and the intervertebral disks.

Q

What types of synovial joints do we have?

A

Plane (gliding) joints (gliding and sliding between bones)

Hinge joints (Door hinges - flexion and extention)

Pivot joints (Central bony pivot turning within a bony ring and allow only rotation)

Condylar joints (Two convex condyles articulating with two concave condyles and allow flexion and extension)

Saddle joints (One bone rests on another bone and allow for flexion and extension, adduction and abduction)

ball and socket joint (ball like head into a cup shaped cavity)
