Joints
Cards in this deck (27)
- 1there are two basic classifications of jointsfunctional and structural
- 2there are three types of functional classificationssynarthroses, amphiarthroses and diarthroses
- 3synarthrosis meansimmovable
- 4amphiarthrosis meansslightly moveable
- 5diarthrosis meansfreely moveable
- 6the four kinds a structural joints arebony, fibrous, cartilaginous and synovial
- 7there are four kinds of synarthrosessuture, gomphosis, synchondrosis and synostosis
- 8a suture is a _______ jointfibrous synarthotic
- 9a gomphosis is a _________ jointfibrous synarthrotic
- 10a synchondrosis is a ___________ jointcartilaginous synarthrotic
- 11a synostosis is a ___________ jointbony synarthrotic
- 12describe the location and the nature of a sutural jointlocated between the bones of the skull which are bound together by dense fibrous connective tissue
- 13describe the location and the nature of a gomphosis jointbinds the teeth to their bony socket in the mandible with fibrous connective tissue.
- 14describe the location and the nature of a synchondrosis jointthis is a rigid, cartilaginous bridge between two articulating bones and can be found as the cartilage between the first pair of ribs and the sternum as well as all epiphyseal cartilage
- 15describe the location and the nature of a synostosis jointthis is a totally rigid, immovable joint that occurs when two bones fuse and the boundary between them all but disappears. this can be found in the coronal suture of the frontal bone and the epiphyseal lines of long bones.
- 16there are two types of amphiarthrosessyndesmosis and symphysis
- 17a syndesmosis is what kind of structural jointfibrous
- 18a symphysis is what kind of structural jointcartilagenous
- 19describe a syndesmosis and where one is locatedthese are bones connected by ligaments and one example is the distal articulation between the tibia and the fibula
- 20describe a symphysis joint and where one could be foundthis is a joint in which bones are connected by a wedge or pad of fibrocartilage and the articulation between the two pubic bones is an example of one; hence the pubic SYMPHYSIS
- 21there is only one kind of diarthrosissynovial joints
- 22synovial joints can move in three planes of movementmonaxial, biaxial and triaxial
- 23describe and give example of monaxial jointjoints that can only move in one plane such as the elbow and ankle
- 24describe and give examples of biaxial jointmovement in two planes such as the ribs and wrist
- 25describe and give an example of a triaxial jointtriaxial joints allow movement in three planes and the shoulder and the hip joints are examples
- 26describe the synovial jointsynovial joints permit a wider range of movement and are typically found at the ends of long bones. there is a joint cavity filled with synovial fluid between the two bones within an articular capsule and the capsule is lined with the synovial membrane
- 27list the functions of synovial fluidreduce friction
nutrient distribution
shock absorbtion
