  • Front
  • Back
joints where bones are held together by fibrous connective tissue rich in collagen fibers; they lack a synovial cavity
fibrous joints
joints where bones are held together by cartilage; they lack a synovial cavity
cartilaginous joints
joints where bones have a synovial cavity and are united by the ________ connective tissue of an articular capsule, and often by accessory ligaments
synovial joints

dense irregular
An immovable joint
synarthrosis
A slightly moveable joint
amphiarthrosis
A freely moveable joint; all of them are ______ joints
diarthrosis

synovial joints
lack a synovial cavity, articulating bones are held closely together by fibrous connective tissue, permit little or no movement
fibrous joints
3 types of fibrous joints
sutures

syndesmoses

gomphoses
fibrous joint composes of thin layer of dense fibrous connective tissue. Because they are immovable, they are classified functionally as a ________
sutures

synarthrosis
Some sutures, present in childhood, are replaced by bone in the adult. Such a suture is called a
synostosis (or bony joint)
fibrous joint in which, compared to a suture, there is a greater distance between the articulating bones and more _______ connective tissue
syndesmosis

fibrous
Because it permits slight movement, a syndesmosis is classified functionally as an _________
amphiarthrosis
type of fibrous joint in which a cone-shaped peg fits into a socket. Only examples are teeth. Classified functionally as a ______, an immovable joint
gomphosis or dentoalveolar joint

synarthrosis
lacks a synovial cavity, has little or no movement, bones tightly connected by either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage.
cartilaginous joints
2 types of cartilaginous joints
synchondroses

symphyses
cartilaginous joint in which connecting material is hyaline cartilage. Functionally they are ______, immovable joints
synchondrosis

synarthrosis
cartilaginous joint in whichthe ends of bone are covered with hyaline cartilage, but a flat disc of fibrocartilage connects the bones. Functionally, they are ________, a slightly moveable joint
symphyses

amphiarthrosis
A synovial cavity allows a joint to be freely moveable, so all synovial joints are classified functionally as ________
diarthroses
The bones at a synovial joint are covered by ___________, which is hyaline cartilage
articular cartilage
A _______ surrounds a synovial cavity and unites the articulating bones. Composed of 2 layers: ______ and ______
articular capsule

outer fibrous capsule and inner synovial membrane
The ________ layer of a synovial joint consists of dense irregular connective tissue that attaches to periosteum of articulating bones. The fibers of some capsules are arranged in parallel bundles called _____
Outer fibrous capsule

ligaments
The _______ layer of the articular capsule is composed of areolar connective tissue with elastic fibers. Usually includes accumulations of fat tissue called ____
inner synovial membrane

articular fat pads
Many synovial joints contain accessory ligaments called ____ and ____
extracapsular ligaments (outside articular capsule)

intracapsular ligaments (inside articular capsule)
In some synovial joints (like the knee) are pads of fibrocartilage that lie between the articular surfaces of the bones and attach to the fibrous capsule- called ______
articular discs OR menisci
A _____ is the forcible twisting of a joint that stretches or tears ligaments, but does not dislocate bones. A _____ is a stretched or partially torn muscle.
sprain

strain
sacs that cushion the movement of one body part over another
Bursa
tubelike bursa that wrap around tendons where there is considerable friction.
tendon sheaths
Six types of synovial joints
planar

hinge

pivot

condyloid

saddle

ball-and-socket
joints that permit side-to-side and back-and-forth movements. Articulating surfaces are flat or slightly curved. Ex: intercarpal, intertarsal, acromioclavicular, sternocostal, vertebrocostal
Planar joints
In a _______ joint, the convex surface of one bone fits into the concave surface of another. Ex: knee, elbow, ankle
Hinge joint
In a _____ joint, the rounded or pointed surface of one bone articulates with a ring formed partly by another bone and partly by a ligament Ex: Atlanto-axial joint
pivot joint
In a ____ joint, the convex oval-shaped projection of one bone fits into the oval-shaped depression of another bone. Ex: wrist and metacarpophalangeal joints for 2nd -5th digits
condyloid joints
In a ____ joint, the articular surface of one bone is saddle shaped, and the articular surface of another bone fits onto the saddle. Ex: carpometacarpal joint bw trapezium of carpus and metacarpal of thumb
saddle joint
A ______ joint has ball like surface of one bone fitting into cup like depression of another. Such joints are multiaxial (polyaxial) because they permit movement around three axes plus all directions in between. Ex: shoulder and hip joints
Ball-and-socket
Type of flexion where the trunk of the body moves from side to side
lateral flexion
Continuation of extension beyond the anatomical position
Hyperextension
movement of a bone away from midline
Abduction
movement of a bone towards midline
Adduction
Movement of the distal end of a body part in a circle
Circumduction
movement of a body part anteriorly in the transverse plane. Ex: thrusting out mandible
protraction
movement of a protracted body part back to the anatomical position
retraction
movement of the soles medially at the intertarsal joints so that the soles face each other
inversion
movement of the soles laterally at the intertarsal joints so that the soles face away from each other.
eversion
bending of the foot at the ankle in the direction of the dorsum. Occurs when you stand on your heels
Dorsiflexion
bending the foot at the ankle joint in the direction of the plantar surface, as when standing on your toes
Plantar flexion
Turning the palm anteriorly or superiorly
supination
Turning the palm posteriorly or inferiorly
pronation
displacement of a bone from a joint, with resultant tearing of ligaments, tendons, and articular capsules.
Dislocation OR luxation
A partial or incomplete dislocation
subluxation
