Module 3 Connective tissue Part 3 Flashcards
(110 cards)
Are found in areas of adjacent bones. They
are covered and held together firmly by
connective tissues
Joints
The degree of movement between the bones
are defined by the
Joints
Classification of joints
- Synarthroses
- Diarthroses
it permits very limited
movements or no movement at all.
Synarthroses
permits bone to move freely
examples: elbow and knee
Diarthroses
Can be subdivided into cartilagenous and fibrous joints which depends on the tissues that binds the joints
Synarthroses
Major subtypes of Synarthroses
- Synostoses
- Syndesmoses
- Symphyses
bones are jointed only by bones. Does not
allow movement
Synostoses
only dense connective tissue unites the
bones
Syndesmoses
immobile joints. Ends are covered by pad
of fibrocartilage between articular cartilage
Symphyses
example of Symphyses
Pubic symphysis
examples of Synostoses
unite the skull bones of older adults
example of Syndesmoses
posterior region of the sacroiliac
joints
Proper alignment of the bones are maintained by the ligaments and capsule of dense connective tissue
Diarthroses
Joint cavity sealed capsule that contains synovial
fluid.it is lined by specialized connective tissue
called synovial membrane
Diarthroses
extends fold and villi to the
cavity and secretes synovial fluid which act as
lubricant
Synovial membrane
came from plasma., with higher
concentration of hyaluronan
Synovial fluid
secreted by the cells of synovial
membrane
Hyaluronan
2 specialized cells in synovial membrane
- Macrophages
- Fibroblastic synovial cells or type B cells
-like synovial cells or type A
cells
Macrophages
derived from monocytes, remove wear -and –tear
debris from the synovial fluid
Macrophages
Regulate inflammation that may take place in the
diarthrotic joints
Macrophages
Produce lots of hyaluronan and extracellular
components
Fibroblastic synovial cells or type B cells
Lubricates the joints to reduce friction, supplies
oxygen and nutrients to the articular cartilage
Fibroblastic synovial cells or type B cells
