skeletal system [joints] - unit 3 Flashcards
another way to call articulations/arthroses
joints
bind neighboring bones and allow movement between them
joints
3 types of joint classification
fibrous joints, cartilage joints, synovial joints.
type of joint classification. made of dense CT
fibrous joints
3 types of fibrous joints
sutures, ligaments, gemphases
type of fibrous joint. thin sheets of dense irregular CT bind flat bones.
sutures
type of fibrous joint. cords of dense regular CT
ligaments
type of fibrous joint. little ligaments that connect the teeth to the jaw
gemphases
type of joint classification. different types of cartilage that combine bones
cartilage joints
type of cartilage joint. hyaline cartilage between ribs and sternum.
costal cartilage
type of cartilage joint. fibrocartilage between vertebrae
intervertebral discs
type of cartilage joint. fibrocartilage between the os coxa bones
pubic symphysis
three types of cartilage joints.
costal cartilage, intervertebral discs, and pubic symphysis
type of joint classification. capsule-like structure binding neighboring bones. they prevent friction between joints and surrounding muscles.
synovial joints
two parts of the synovial joint
articular capsule and articular cartilage
part of synovial joint. hollow cylinder of dense irregular CT binding bones that contains synovial fluid
articular capsule
part of synovial joint. pads of hyaline cartilage on the ends of bones.
articular cartilage
ligaments with in or just outside the joint. they help increase joint stability.
reinforcing ligaments
pads of fibrocartilage with in joint that mainly function to absorb shock
menisci
independent synovial capsules filled with synovial fluid surrounding synovial JOINTS. they prevent friction.
bursae
independent synovial capsules filled with synovial fluid wrapped around TENDONS.
tendon sheets
inflammation of the bursae is called
bursitis
inflammation of the tendon sheets is called
tendonitis
4 factors influencing joint stability
end of bone shape, reinforcing ligaments, menisci, skeletal muscle crossings.
