|
A point of contact b/t two bones, b/t bone and cartilage, or b/t bone and teeth?
|
a joint
AKA: articulation & arthrosis |
|
|
Bones that are held together by fibrous connective tissue (that is rich in collagen fibers) are what type of joint?
|
fibrous joints
|
|
|
The bones are held together by cartilage; there is no synovial cavity?
|
cartilaginous joints
|
|
|
The bones forming the joint have a synovial cavity & are united by the dense irregular connective tissue of an articular capsule, and often by accessory ligaments?
|
synovial joints
|
|

synarthrosis
|
|
|
A slightly moveable joint?
|
amphiarthrosis
|
|
|
A freely moveable joint?
|
diarthrosis
|
|
|
The structural classification of joints is based on the presence or absence of a space b/t the articulating bones;synovial fluid, and the type of connective tissue that binds bones together? T/F
|
TRUE
|
|
|
A fibrous joint that only occurs between bones of the skull?
|
sutures
|
|
|
Functionally, sutures are classified as what type of joint?
|
synarthrosis
|
|
|
A fibrous joint in which there is a greater distance b/t the articulating bones and more fibrous connective tissue than a suture?
|
syndesmoses
|
|
|
What is an example of a syndesmosis joint?
|
interosseous membrane
(and the anterior tibiofibular ligament) |
|
|
Functionally, syndesmosis is classified as what type of joint?
|
amphiarthrosis
|
|
|
A type of fibrous joint in which a cone-shaped peg fits into a socket?
|
gomphosis
|
|
|
An example of a gomphosis joint would be?
|
the articulations of the roots of the teeth w/ the sockets of the aveolar processes
|
|
|
Functionally, gomphosis is classified as what type of joint?
|
synarthrosis
|
|
|
Lacks a synovial cavity and allows little or no movement?
|
cartilaginous joint
|
|
|
A type of cartilaginous joint in which the connecting material is hyaline cartilage?
|
synchondrosis
|
|
|
One example of a synchondrosis joint would be?
|
the epiphyseal plate that connects the epiphysis & diaphysis of a growing bone
|
|
|
Functionally, a synchondrosis joint is classified as what?
|
synarthrosis
|
|
|
A cartilaginous joint in which the ends of the articulating bones are covered w/ hyaline cartilage, but a broad, flat disc of fibrocartilage connects the bones?
|
symphysis
|
|
|
An example of a symphysis joint could be found at the intervertebral joints or at the junction of the manubrium and the body of the sternum? T/F
|
TRUE
|
|
|
Functionally, a symphysis jont is classified as what type of joint?
|
amphiarthrosis
|
|
|
What is the unique characteristic of a synovial joint?
|
a space called a synovial (joint) cavity
|
|
|
Functionally, a synovial joint is classified as what type of joint?
|
diarthrosis
|
|
|
Bones at a synovial joint are covered by by a layer of hyaline cartilage called?
|
articular cartilage
i.e; covers articulating surface but does not bind them.-reduces friction. |
|
|
Surrounds a synovial joint, encloses the synovial cavity, and unites the articulating bones?
|
articular capsule
|
|
|
The articular is composed of two layers, what are they called?
|
1. outer fibrous capsule
2. inner synovial membrane |
|
|
Ligaments are found in a fibrous capsule? T/F
|
TRUE
|
