Pt200 Structure And Function Of Human Joint

Front 1

Synarthroses Joints description and function

Back 1

junction between bones that allows slight to no movement, strongly bind and transfer forces between bones

Front 2

Examples of synarthroses (Fibrous) joints

Back 2

sutures of the skull, distal tibiofibular joint, interosseous membrane reinforcing radio-ulnar joints

Front 3

Examples of synarthroses (cartilaginous) joints

Back 3

symphysis pubis, interbody joint of the spine including the intervertebral disc

Front 4

Diarthrosis joints description and function

Back 4

synovial joint that is an articulation that contains a fluid filled joint cavity between bony partners; specialized for MOVEMENT

Front 5

Elements of diarthrosis joints (7)

Back 5

Joint cavity is filled with synovial fluid; Articular cartilage that covers ends of bones; Articular capsule that is connective tissue surrounding joint

Front 6

Elements of diarthrosis joints (7)

Back 6

Internal layer of thin synovial membrane inside capsule and external fibrous layer of capsule is composed of dense irregular connective tissue, Thicken regions of connective tissue represent capsular ligament

Front 7

Elements of diarthrosis joints (7)

Back 7

joint capsule is supplied with small blood vessels, and sensory nerves supply the joint capsule with receptors for pain and proprioception

Front 8

Closed-pack position

Back 8

most ligaments and parts of the capsule are pulled taut, providing an element of natural stability to the joint; accessory joints are typically minimal in a joint's close-packed position

Front 9

Loose-pack (open-pack) position

Back 9

all other positions other than close packed. slackened ligaments and allows for increase in accessory movements.

Front 10

How many degrees of freedom for a hinge joint?

Back 10

Front 11

Usual plane of motion for the hinge joints in the body?

Back 11

Sagittal plane
