Lecture 6 - Joint classifications
Cards in this deck (13)
- 1What is the purpose of articular cartilage in a synovial jointCovers bone ends where they articulate allowing for smooth articulation
- 2What is the synovial membraneA membrane that lines the inner surface of the joint capsule secreting synovial fluid
- 3What is the joint capsuleA capsule that holds the two bones together and has a cavity for synovial fluid and membrane
- 4What are intracapsular ligamentsLigaments that restrict movement between bones ( eg stops the femur from sliding off the tibia )
- 5What are the seven types of synovial joint shape- Plane
- Ball & Socket
- Ellipsoid
- Condylar
- Saddle
- Pivot
- Hinge - 6Explain the hinge joint- Uniaxial
- Can only allow flexion and extension - 7Explain the plane joint shape- Multiaxial
- Allows for sliding and gliding - 8Explain the pivot joint shape- Uniaxial
- Allows for rotation
- Example the radius and ulna - 9Explain the condylar joint shape- Biaxial
- Allows for flexion and extension
- Allows for rotation when flexed - 10Explain the ellipsoid joint shape- Biaxial
- Allows for circumduction
- Eg wrist joint - 11Explain the saddle joint shape- Biaxial
- Allows for circumduction
- Allows for obligatory rotation - 12Explain the ball & socket joint shape- Multiaxial
- Allows for circumduction and rotation - 13What factors affect the movement of a joint- Bone end shape
- Capsule and ligaments
- Bony congruence
- Amount of soft tissue support
