ARTICULATIONS
ARTICULATIONS
Name the 3 types of joints.
immovable
slightly movable
freely movable
Bones forming _____ joints are closely joined and are separated by a thin layer of fibrous connective.
What is an example?
immovable
skull bones (except mandibles)
Bones forming _____ _____ joints are separated by fibrocartilage pads or fibrous connective tissue.

What is an example?
Slightly movable

joints between vertebrae
Bones forming ____ _____ are bound together by a ligamentous articular capsule that is lined by a synovial membrane. The articular surfaces of the the bones are covered by articular catilages. _____ _____ lubricates the joint, and bursae may be present to reduce friction.
freely movable
synovial fluid
Name several types of freely movable joints.
gliding, condyloid, hinge,saddle, pivot and ball and socket
This type of joint occurs between small bones that slide over one another. They occur between carpal bones, between tarsal bones, and between clavical and scapula.
Gliding Joints
These allow movements in two planes: side to side or back and forth. The carpals and bones or the forearm (radius and ulna)
metacarpals and first phalanges are examples
Condyloid Joints
Allow movement in 1 plane only, like a door hinge. The elbow, knee, and joints between the phalanges are all hinge joints
Hinge Joints
Occurs where the ends of each bone are saddle-shaped: convex in one direction and concave in the other. Movement is side to side and back and forth.
A joint of this type occurs between the trapezium (a carpal bone) & the metacarpal bone of the thumb.
Saddle Joints
A joint that allows rotational movement in a single plane.

The rotation of the atlas on the axis is an example.
Pivot Joints
These joint occur where a rounded head of one bone fits into a concavity of the other bone. These joint allow greatest freedom of movement.
Examples: Shoulder and Hip joints
Ball and Socket Joints
They are broken bones.
Complete-completely thru the bone
Compound-bone pierces the skin
Simple- does not pierce skin
Comminuted-Broken in several pieces
Segmental-only 1 piece is broken out of the bone
fractures
Disorder of bones)
Spiral-fracture line spirals around the bone
Oblique-the break angles across the bone.
Transverse-break is at right angles to the long axis of bone
fractures cont.
Incomplete-The bone is not broken completely through
Green stick- the break is only on one side of the bone, and the bone is bowed.
Fissured-The break is a lengthwise split in the bone.
fractures cont.
An inflammation of bone and bone marrow caused by bacterial infection. It is treatable w/ antibiotics but not easily cured.
Osteomyelitis
(disorder of bones)
a weakening of bones due to removal of calcium salts. Common probelm in older adults due to inactivity mand decrease in hormone production. Estrogen and calcium and perscribed for post menopausal women.
Osteoporosis
(disorder of bones)
a desease of children that is characterized by a deficiency of calcium salts in the bones. It results from a dietary defiency of calcium and/or vitamin D. Kids can have bowed legs because of weekened femurs, tibiae and fibulae.
