What are sites called where two or more bones meet?

joints

between bones of the skull
|
|
In _________, the bones are connected by a ligament, which is a cord or band of fibrous tissue.
|
syndesmoses
|
|
Why are the joints of the skull considered synarthrotic?
|
because they are immovable
|
|
What are two ways joints are classified?
|
Structurally
Functionally |
|
What are the three structural classification of joints?
|
fibrous
cartilaginous synovial |
|
Epiphyseal plates are united by ___________.
|
Synchondroses
|
|
What is synchondroses?
|
involves a bar or plate of hyaline cartilage uniting the bones
|
|
Synovial Joints contain five distinguishing features.
2 out of 5 |
The joint(synovial) cavity is a space that is filled with synovial fluid.
|
|
What is symphyses?
|
amphiarthrotic joints composed of fibrocartilage that is compressible and resilient yet strong
|
|
Synovial Joints contain five distinguishing features.
1 out of 5 |
Articular cartilage covers the ends of the articulating bones.
|
|
Synovial Joints contain five distinguishing features.
3 out of 5 |
The two-layered articular capsule encloses the joint cavity.
|
|
Synovial Joints contain five distinguishing features.
4 out of 5 |
Synovial fluid is a viscous, slippery fluid that fills all free space within the joint cavity.
|
|
Synovial Joints contain five distinguishing features.
5 out of 5 |
Reinforcing ligaments cross synovial joints to strengthen the joint.
|
|
________ and _______ sheaths are bags of lubricant that reduce friction at synovial joints.
|
Bursae; tendon
|
|
The shapes of the articular surfaces of bones found at a synovial joint determine the movements that occur at the joint.
True or False |
True
Shape determines how it moves, but does not really play a role in stabilizing the joint. |
|
Ligaments help stabilize the joint.
True or False |
True
It does this by preventing excessive or unwanted movements. |
|
The greater the number of ligaments at the joint the greater the stability.
True or False |
True
|
|
What is the most important factor stabilizing joint?
|
The muscle tone keeps tendons that cross joints tight. .
|
|
What are the three types of movements that occur at synovial joints?
|
Gliding
Angular Rotation |
|
________ movements increase or decrease the angle between two bones.
|
Angular
|
|
Flexion
(7 types of angular movements at synovial joints) 1 out of 7 |
decreases the angle of the joint and brings the articulating bones closer together
|
|
Extension
(7 angular movements that occur at synovial joints) 2 out of 7 |
increases the angle between the articulating bones
|
|
Dorsiflexion
(7 angular movements that occur at synovial joints) 3 out of 7 |
decreases the angle between the top of the foot(dorsal surface) and the anterior surface of the tibia
|
|
Plantar Flexion
(7 angular movements that occur at synovial joints) 4 out of 7 |
decreases the angle between the sole of the foot(plantar surface) and the posterior side of the tibia
|
|
Abduction
(7 angular movements that occur at synovial joints) 5 out of 7 |
is the movement of a limb(or fingers) away from the midline body (or the hand)
(bring fingers apart) |
|
Adduction
(7 angular movements that occur at synovial joints) 6 out of 7 |
the movement of a limb (or fingers) toward the midline of the body (or the hand)
(bring fingers together) |
|
Circumduction
(7 angular movements that occur at synovial joints) 7 out of 7 |
moving of a limb so that it describes a cone in the air
|
|
In _______ movements one flat, or nearly flat, bone surface glides or slips over another.
|
gliding
|
|
_______ is the turning of a bone along its own long axis.
|
Rotation

6 types of Synovial Joints
|
Plane Joints
Hinge Joints Pivot Joints Condyloid or Ellipsoid Joints Saddle Joints Ball and Socket Joints |
|
Plane Joints
|
have a flat articular surface and allow gliding and transitional movements
|
|
Hinge Joints
|
consist of a cylindrical projection that nests in trough-shaped structures, and allow movement along a single plane
|
|
Condyloid or Ellipsoid Joints
|
consist of an oval articular surface that nests in a complementary depression and permit all angular movements
|
|
Saddle Joints
|
consist of each articular surface bearing complementary concave and convex areas, and allow more freedom of movement than condyloid joints
|
|
Ball and Socket Joints
