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
