  • Front
  • Back
Joint reinforced by a combination of fibrous and cartilaginous connective tissues; permit slight to no movement.
Synarthroses
Joint stabilized with dense connective tissue. i.e: sutures of the skull and tibiofular joint
fibrous
Joint stabilized by various forms of cartilage. i.e: pubic symphsis, interbody joint of spine.
cartilaginous
Joint which possesses a synocial fluid-filled cavity; permits moderate to extensive movement.
synovial/diarthroses
Covers the ends of bones
articular cartilage
Connective tissue curtain. Outer portion provides support to bones and contains joint content.
joint capsule
Internal layer of joint capsule.
synovial membrane
Reduces friction in a joint, nourishes articular cartilage.
synovial fluid
Protects joints from excessive movement.
ligaments
In ________ joints the movement is more linear than angular and normally occurs secondarily. For example, flexion and extension of the wrist causes carpals to move up and down in response.
Arthrodial (Gliding)
A _________ joint has a uniaxial articulation, where articular surfaces allow motion only in one plane. For example, elbow, knee, talocrural and subtalar flexion and extension.
ginglymus (hinge)
A ________ joint also has uniaxial articulation but focuses on pronation and supination. Occurs in the transverse plane.
trochoid (pivot)
A ________ joint is a biaxial ball and socket joint. One bone with an oval concave surface is received by another bone with a oval convex surface.
condyloid (knuckle)
A ________ joint is a multiaxial or triaxial ball and socket joint. Example would be the hip.
enarthodial
A ________ joint is a unique triaxial joint where 2 reciprocally concave and convex articular surface move across one another. Examples of this would be the 1st carpometacarpal joint at the thumb and the sternoclavicular.
sellar (saddle)
Broken bones
fracture
complete separation of the two articular surfaces
dislocation
partial dislocation
subluxation
partial or complete tearing of fibers
sprain
overstretching of muscle fibers
strain
inflammation of a tendon
tendonitis
inflammation of the tendon sheath (membrane surrounding tendon)
tenosynovitis
inflammation of the synovial membrane
synovitis
inflammation of the bursa (provides lubrication between joints and bones)
bursitis
inflammation of the joint capsule
capsulitis
A series of segmented links that articulated together. Example, the pelvis, thigh, leg and foot; the wrist, forearm, elbow, arm and shoulder
Kinematic chains
In a ______ chain the distal end is fixed to something or weighted. The proximal segment is free to move.
closed
In a _____ chain the distal end is free to move.
distal
3 types of movement occur between curved joint surfaces where one surface is convex and one is concave. Name those three movements.
Roll, slide, spin
The ______ (close/open) packed position is the position of maximal congruency where the articular surfaces within the joint "fit" best.
close
The ______ (close/open) packed position occurs when ligaments and tendons are loose.
open
