|
Articulation |
A site where 2 or more bones meet |
|
|
Functional joints |
Synarthrosis, amphairthrosis, diarthrosis |
|
|
Structural joints |
Fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial |
|
|
Synarthrosis joint |
No movement between articulating bones (immovable joint) |
|
|
Amphiarthroses joint |
Small amount of movement between articulating bones |
|
|
Diarthrosis joint |
Freely moveable joint, allowing wide variety of specific movements |
|
|
Fibrous joints |
Fastened together by dense regular collagenous connective tissue without space between articulating bones. Synarthrosis or amphiarthroses |
|
|
Cartilaginous joints |
Fastened together with cartilage without joint space. Can be synarthrosis or amphiarthroses |
|
|
Synovial joints |
Bones separated by fluid filled joint cavity All are diaythrotic (freely moveable) Act on lever systems Most joints of body |
|
|
Ligament |
Strand of dense regular collagenous connective tissue. Links one bone to another. Provides additional strength and reinforcement to joint |
|
|
Tendon |
Connects muscle to bone |
|
|
Muscle tone |
Continous level of muscle contraction. Provides stabilizing force (most important to stabilizing joints) |
|
|
Arthritis |
Inflammation of 1 or more joints; results in pain and limitations of joint movement |
|
|
Oesteoarthritis |
Most common form of arthritis. From wear and tear, injuries and advanced age. Pain, joint stiffness, and lost mobility |
|
|
Rheumatoid arthritis |
Joint destruction mediated by individuals own immune system. 3 times more likely in women |
|
|
Gouty arthritis |
Joint damage to inflammatory reaction to uric acid crystal deposits |
|
|
Bursae |
Synovial fluid filled fibrous structure; minimizes friction between moving parts of joints |
|
|
Tendon sheath |
A long bursa; surrounds tendons; protects tendons as they slide across joint |
|
|
Cartilage tears |
A tear due to compression and shear stress. Fragments may cause joint to lock and bind. Repaired with arthroscopic surgery. Rarely repairs itself - avascular. |
|
|
Subluxation |
Partial dislocation of a joint |
|
|
Dislocations (luxations) |
Bones forced out of alignment. Accompanied by sprains, inflammation, and difficulty moving joint. Must be set to treat (reduced) |
|
|
Synovial fluid |
Thick liquid that lubricates, transports nutrients and waste products in absence of blood vessels within joint, and absorbs shock. |
|
|
Bursitis |
Inflammation of bursa. Inflammatory condition that can result from fall, repetitive movements, or rheumatoid arthritis. Usually in shoulder, elbow, hip and knee |
