A _____ occurs wherever the bones meet.
Join (articulation)
Joints are classified ___ and ____.
structurally, functionally
______________ is based on the degree to which the joint permits movement.
Functional classification
Three types of Functional Classification in Joints
Synarthrosis
Amphiarthrosis
Diarthrosis
____ joint permits no movement. Structurally it may be a fibrous or cartilaginous joint.
synarthrosis
joint permits only slight movement. Structurally it may be a fibrous or cartilaginous joint.
Amphiarthrosis
_____ joint is a freely movable joint. Structurally, it is always a ________ joint.
diarthrosis
Synovial joint
____ is based on the materials that hold the joint together and whether or not a cavity is present in the joint.
Structural classification
Structural classification (3)
Fibrous joints
Cartilaginous joints
Synovial joints
- held together by fibrous connective tissue
fibrous joints
No joint cavity is present
fibrous joints
_____ may be immovable or slightly movable.
fibrous joints
Held together by cartilage (hyaline or fibrocartilage)
Cartilaginous joints
No joint cavity is present.
Cartilaginous joints
________ may be immovable or slightly movable.
Cartilaginous joints
Characterized by a synovial cavity (joint cavity) containing synovial fluid.
Synovial joints
are freely movable and characterize most joints of the body
Synovial joints
Features of synovial joint(6)
Articular cartilage
Joint(articular) cartilage
Articular capsule
Synovial fluids
Reinforcing ligaments
Nerves and blood vessels
Articular cartilage
Glassy smooth hyaline cartilage covers the opposing bone surfaces as _____.
Articular cartilage
These thin (1mm or less) but spongy cushions absorb compression placed on the joint…
Articular cartilage
The joint cavity is a feature that is unique to synovial joints.
Joint(articular) cartilage
It contains a small amount of synovial fluid. The joint cavity is a potential space because it is normally almost nonexistent, but can expand if fluid accumulates(as happens during inflammation)
Joint(articular) cartilage
The joint cavity is enclosed by a two-layered articular capsule or joint capsule.
Articular capsule
The tough external ____________ is composed of dense irregular connective tissue…
Joint(articular) cartilage
exact answer: fibrous layer
