A amphiarthrosis joint. Slightly movable. Cartilaginous. made of fibrocartilage |
examples are intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis |
|
Characteristics of a synovial joint |
A diarthrosis classified joint. Most complex. Has joint cavity and ligaments to support articulating bone. |
|
|
Synovial Joint Features |
1. joint capsule with 2 layers 2. joint cavity inside of joint capsule 3. synovial membrane (inner layer of capsule) produced hyaluronic acid 4. synovial forms film over joint surface 5. articular covers joint surface |
There are 5 features |
|
What are the joint points of contact? |
Between 2 bones, between cartilage and bone, and between teeth and bone |
3 different points of contact |
|
Characteristics of the joint capsule |
has 2 layers, thickness varies in body, may be reinforced by or incorporate tendons and ligaments |
|
|
What are the joint capsule layers |
outer: dense fibrous connective tissue, stratum fibrosum, poor blood supply, good nerve supply inner: synovial membrane, makes hyaluronic acid for synovial fluid, good blood supply, poor nerve supply |
|
|
What is synovial fluid like? |
clear, yellow, viscous, reduces friction between articulations, provides nourishment for articular cartilage, contains hyaluronic acid and lubricin |
|
|
What is articular cartilage like? |
lacks blood vessels and nerve, transmits and distributes high loads, maintence of contact stress at low levels, reduces friction,shock absorber |
Found on the articular surfaces of bones, aKA hyaline cartilage |
|
Extra scapular versus intrascapular |
Describes location of ligaments. Outside of joint capsule vs. within joint capsule |
|
|
Characteristics of articular discs of synovial joints |
made of fibrocartilage , allows articular bones to fit tightly together, increases knee stability, reduces friction, shock absorber |
|
|
What are bursae? |
Flat sacs filled with synovial fluid located between 2 structures |
|
|
What are tendon sheaths |
tube like bursae that wrap around tendons in wrist and ankle |
|
|
Bursitis |
Chronic inflammation caused by excessive stress , the bursa swells and muscles become sore and stiff |
|
|
Factors of range of motion in synovial joints |
1. shape of articulating bones 2. tension & strength of joint ligaments arrangement 3. activity of muscles around joints 4. hormones and disuse |
There are 4 |
|
joint cavity |
space that separates the articulating surfaces of bone in synovial joint |
|
|
uniaxial joints |
bones are free to move in one place, around one axis |
example is a hinge joint ( flexion/extension, pivot joint) |
|
Biaxial Joint |
bones are free to move in 3 directions around three axes |
examples are ball and socket , flexion/extension, adduction/abduction & rotation |
|
Functions of Synovial fluid |
1. Lubrication 2. Nutrient distribution 3. Shock absorption |
3 functions |
