articulation
|
site where two or more bones meet
|
|
Functions of joints
|
give skeleton mobiLity and hold skeleton together
|
|
Synarthroses
|
immovable joint
|
|
amphiarthroses
|
slightly moveable joint
|
|
diarthrosis
|
freely moveable joint
|
|
No joint cavity. either synarthrotic or amohiarthrotic.
|
Fibrous and cartilaginous joints
|
|
have a joint cavity. all diarthrotic
|
synovial joints
|
|
Three types of fibrous joints
|
Sutures, syndesmoses, gomphoses.
|
|
Sutures
|
Rigid interlocking joints, immovable joints for protection of brain, contain short connective Tissue fibers, allow for growth during youth. In middle age, suture ossify and fuse. called synostoses
|
|
Syndesmoses
|
Bones connected by ligaments bands of fibrous tissue. fiber length varies so movement varies. little to no movement at distal tibiofibular joint. large amount of movement at interosseous membrane connecting radius and ulna
|
|
Two types of cartilagious joints
|
synchondroses and symphyses
|
|
6 distinguishing features of Synovial Joints
|
Articular cartilage, joint synovial cavity, articular capsule, synovial fluid, different types of reinforcing ligaments, and nerves and blood vessels.
|
|
capsular reinforcing ligaments
|
Dense irregular thickened part of fibrous layer
|
|
extrascapular reinforcing ligaments
|
outside the capsule ligament and or tendon
|
|
intrascapular reinforcing ligaments
|
deep to capsule covered by synovial membrane areolar connective
|
|
bursae
|
ball bearing sacks lined with synovial membrane contains synovial fluid reduced friction wear ligaments muscles skin tendons or bone rub together
|
|
tendon sheath
|
elongated bursa wrapped completely around tendon subjected to friction
|
|
origin
|
Attachment to immovable bone
|
|
insertion
|
Attachment to movable bone
|
|
nonaxial
|
Slipping movements only
|
|
uniaxial
|
Movement in one plane
|
|
biaxial
|
Movement in two planes
|
|
multiaxial
|
Movement in or around all three planes
|
|
flexion
|
Decrease the angle of the joint move toward the origin
|
|
Extension
|
Increase the angle of the joint move away from the origin
|
|
abduction
|
Movement away from midline
|
|
adduction
|
Movement toward the midline
|
|
circumduction
|
Involves flexion abduction extension and adduction of limb. Limb describes a cone in space
|
|
dorsiflexion
|
point toes up
|
|
plantar flexion
|
point toes down
|
|

|
plane hinge pivot condylar saddle ball and socket
|
|
plane
|
nonaxial ex. carpals
|
|
hinge
|
uniaxial ex. elbow interolphyalangeal
|
|
pivot
|
uniaxial ex. proximal radioulnar joints atlantoaxial joint
|
|
condylar
|
biaxial ex. knuckle joints
|
|
saddle
|
biaxial ex. carpometacarpal joints of thumbs.
|
|
ball and socket
|
multiaxial ex. shoulder and hip
|
|
osteoarthritis
|
Common irreversible degenerative wear and tear arthritis. may reflect excessive release of enzymes that breakdown articular cartilage. by 85 of Americans develop more women than men probably related to normal aging process
|
|
osteoarthritis
|
More cartilage is destroyed than replaced in badly aligned or overworked joint. Exposed bone ends thicken enlarge form bone spurs and restrict movement.
|
|
treatment for osteoarthritis
|
glucosamine chondroitin sulfate and nutritional supplements
|
|
rheumatoid arthritis
|
Chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease of unknown calls immune system attacks own cells usually arises between ages 40 and 50 but may occur at any age affects 3 times as many women as men. Signs and symptoms include joint pain and swelling anemia osteoporosis muscle weakness and cardiovascular problems
|
|
rheumatoid arthritis
|
RA begins with synovitis (inflammation of the synovial joints in had) inflammatory blood cells migrate to joint release inflammatory chemicals that destroy tissue. Synovial fluid accumulates joint swelling and inflamed synovial membrane which thickens pannus that clings to articular cartilage. pannus erodes cartilage scar tissue forms and connects articulating bone ends (ankylosis loss of joint dislocation)
|
|
Rheumatoid arthritis treatment
|
Disrupt destruction of joints by immune system steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs decrease pain and inflammation immune suppressant slow autoimmune reaction some agents target tumor necrosis factor to block action of inflammatory chemicals can replace joint with prosthesis
|
|
gouty arthritis
|
Definition of uric acid crystals in the joints and soft tissues followed by inflammation. More common in men. Typically effects joint at base of great toe in untreated gouty arthritis bone ins used and immobilize joint.
|
|
gouty arthritis treatment
|
Drugs plenty of water avoidance of alcohol
|
|
Lyme disease
|
Caused by bacteria transmitted by tick bites symptoms skin rash flu like symptoms foggy thinking may lead to joint pain and arthritis
|
|
treatment for Lyme disease
|
Long course of antibiotics
