Structural classifications of joints:
|
Fibrous: bones held together by dense collagen fibers
Cartilaginous: bones held together by cartilage Synovial: bones held together by ligaments |
|
In this type of joint the bones are held together by a fibrous connective tissue.
|
Fibrous
|
|
`This type of joint lacks a synovial cavity
|
Fibrous & Cartilaginous
|
|
Functional Joint classifications and descriptions:
|
Synarthrosis-immovable joint
Amphiarthrosis-slightly moveable joint Diarthrosis-freely moveable joint |
|
This type of joint is freely movable:
|
Diarthrosis
|
|
This is a fibrous joint composed of a thin layer of dense fibrous connective tissue between the bones:
|
Suture
|
|
These cartilaginous articulations are found between the bodies of all but the 1st two vertebrae:
|
Intervetbral discs, functionally classified as slightly moveable joints(amphiarthrosis)
|
|
How is a suture joint classified functionally?
|
synarthrosis
|
|
In this type of fibrous joint, the connective tissue is arranged either as a bundle or as a sheet between the bones.
|
syndesmoses
|
|
Another term for this articulation, found only between a tooth and jawbone, is dentoalveolar joint.
|
symphyses
|
|
Which of these can be classified as a synarthrosis joint?
|
All of the following:
Gomphosis Synchondrosis Suture |
|
The epiphyseal plate, found only at the ends of growing bones, is an example of this type of joint.
|
Synchondrosis
|
|
The joint between the first rib and the manubrium of the sternum is classified as:
|
All of these:
Synchondrosis Synarthhrosis Cartilaginous |
|
Where do articulations referred to as "symphyses" occur?
|
Where the two pubic bones of the hips meet and between the manubrium & the body of the sternum
|
|
Synovial joints do NOT:
|
include elastic cartilage
|
|
Which is made from dense regular connective tissue?
LIgaments Fibrous capsule of articular cartilage articular fat pads synovial membrane synovial fluid |
Synovial membrane
|
|
Which tissue covers the surface of every bone at a synovial joint?
|
Articular(hyaline) cartilage
|
|
***One of the most common complaints of older adults is joint pain, which frequently results from a "wear-and-tear" inflammation at the joint(arthritis), called osteoarthritis. Describe what tissue on the surface of bones at a synovial joint erode away in wear and tear arthritis.
|
***Need to look this up
|
|
***Briefly describe what a person being "double-jointed: means:
|
***hyperflex?? look this up
|
|
Describe the functions of synovial fluid:
|
provides lubrication
helps joints have more function and movement reduces friction |
|
***Briefly describe what is happening when a person "cracks their knuckles".
|
***releasing of synovial fluid-look this up
|
|
Every synovial joint is encased in a dense connective tissue called a:
|
Capsule
|
|
Example of fibular and tibial collateral ligaments of the knee joint include:
|
Extracapsular ligaments
|
|
Another term for menisci are:
|
Articular discs
|
|
Menisci(articular discs):
|
Maintain the stability of a joint AND
Direct flow of the synovial fluid within the joint |
|
Which "crossing ligaments" are found in the knee joint?
|
The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments
|
|
This is used to reduce friction in joints or where soft tissues slide over bones.
|
Bursae AND Synovial fluid
|
|
Which of the following is not used to reduce friction at joints or where soft tissues slide over bones?
|
All of these:
Tendon sheaths Synovial fluid Bursae |
|
This type of motion results from relatively flat bone surfaces moving back and forth and from side to side w/respect to one another:
|
Gliding
|
|
This is a type of movement where there is a decrease in the angle between articulation bones.
|
Flexion
|
|
Bending the trunk forward at the intervertebral discs is an example of what type of angular movement?
|
Flexion
|
|
Flexion and extension usually occur along which plane?
|
Sagittal
|
|
Examples of this type of movement include moving the humerus laterally at the shoulder joint.
|
Abduction
|
|
This type of movement is a continuous sequence of flexion, abduction, extension, and adduction.
|
Circumduction
|
|
Which is not considered a special movement?
|
All of these:
Depression Protraction Elevation Supination |
|
Which of the following bones can NOT be elevated or depressed?
|
Maxilla
|
|
What type of movement can be seen in your clavicles at your acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular joints by crossing your arms?
|
Protraction
|
|
This special movement occurs when you stand on your hehels.
|
Dorsiflexion
|
