antebrachiocarpal cavity
middle carpal cavity
carpometacarpal cavity
which cavities of the carpus communicate with one another?
middle carpal cavity communicates with carpometacarpal cavity

antebrachiocarpal joint cavity is isolated

which carpal cavity opens slightly?
middle carpal cavity
what are the three associated structures of the carpus?
palmar carpal fibrocartilage/ palmar carpal ligament
flexor retinaculum
carpal canal
characteristics of metacarpal/ intermetacarpal joints
btwn prox. ends of the metacarpal bones
fibrous CT
interosseus spaces
combination of synovial joint and syndesmoses
in respect to metacarpal bones, what is articulated?
metacarpals articulate with sesamoid bones and sesamoid bones articulate with proximal phalynges
Phalanges __ and __ and dorsal sesamoid bone
P1 and P2
Phalanges __ and ___ and distal sesamoid bone
P2 and P3
arthrology
the study of joints and ligaments
define articulation/ joifnt
formed when two or more bones/ cartilages are united by fibrous, elastic, or cartilagenous tissue or a combination of these tissues
fibrous joint is a type of union between two bones is _____, ____, and often _____.
short, direct, and often transitory
is any movement permitted in fibrous joints?
slight or none
give an example of fibrous joints
joints between the skull, articulation of the tooth
what are the 3 types of fibrous joints?
syndesmosis
suture
gomphosis
syndesmosis is a ____ joint with considerable amount of _____ tissue. It allows very ____ movement.
fibrous joint
connective tissue
little movement
what is an example of syndesmoses?
tibio-fibular articulation
a suture is mostly confined to the adjacent ____ bones of the skull
flat
what are the four types of sutures
serrated sutures
squamous sutures
plane sutures
foliate sutures
serrated sutures have _____ processes and _____ on articular edges
alternate processes and depressions
squamous sutures are _____ of reciprocally beveled edges
overlapping
plane sutures are bones meeting at ____ ____
right angle
gomphosis are specialized articulation of the _____. _____ tissue invested is called periodontal membrane
teeth
fibrous tissue
what are the 3 types of cartilagenous joints?
hyaline cartilage joint/ primary joints
fibrocartilage joint/ secondary joint
synovial joint
hyaline cartilage jointr
primary joints, synchondrosis, bony segments are articulated by hyaline cartilage
fibrocartilage joint
secondary joint, amphiarthrosis, fibrocartilage serves as a connecting medium
e.g pubic sympysis
synovial joint
true joint of the extremities, permits greatest degree of movement
what are 4 characterisctics of synovial joints?
joint cavtiy
joint capsule
synovial fluid
articular cartilage
what are 5 other components of synovial joints?
ligaments (every)
intraarticular ligaments (some)
meniscus (some)
fat pad (some)
synovial villi/ plicae (every)
simple joint
2 bones involved
compound joint
more than 2 bones involved
plane joint
flat surfaces
slight gliding movements

eg. intercarpal joints
spheroidal/ ball and socket joint
convex head fits into cotyloid cavity

e.g. humeroscapular joint
ellipoidal joint
similar to ball and socket, however, convex and concave articular surface are elongated to form eclipse shape
e.g. alanto-occipital articulation
hinge joint
allows flexion and extension. Has collateral ligaments
e.g. cubital joint
condylar joint
articular surfaces include rounded prominances or condyles that fit into reciprocal depressions of adjacent bones.
e.g. stifle joint
pivot joint/ trochoid joint
movement of the joint is around the longitudinal axis of the joint.
eg atlanto-axial joint
saddle joint
apposins surfaces are convex in one direction while concave in the other. movements of flexion and extension.
e.g. pastern joint
