Structure of joints
What is an immovable joint classified as?
Synarthrois
What is a slightly movable joint classified as?
Amphiarthrosis
What is a freely movable joint classified as?
Diarthrosis
What is an example of synarthrosis?
skull
What kind of joint does not have a synovial cavity, the bone is held together very tightly by fibrous connective tissue and has permit little or no movement?
Fibrous joint
Once fused by bone tissue is called what?
Synostosis
Ligament connecting bone to bone is called?
Syndesmoses
Socket for teeth in maxilla and mandible and has the periodontal ligament is called what?
Gomphosis
Where are examples of Interosseous membranes?
Radius-ulna
Tibia-fibula
Joints held together with very short, interconnecting fibers, and bone edges interlock. Is found only in the skull.
Suture
Joint held together by a ligament. Fibrous tissue can vary in length, but is longer than in sutures
Syndesmosis
What does not have a synovial cavity, allows little or no movement and the bones are connected by hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage?
Cartilaginous joints
Symphysis pubis and intervertebral joints are examples of what kind of joints?
Cartilaginous joints
What does contain a joint space called the synovial cavity and the cavity allows the joint to be freely moveable?
Synovial joints
What makes up a synovial joint?
Bone
Hyaline cartilage
Synovial fluid
Fibrous joint capsule
Synovial membrane
Tendon
Ligament
What is the most common type of joint in the body?
Synovial Joints
What is the function of a synovial joint?
To lubricate the surfaces
Provide nutrients and remove wastes from the chondrocytes (Cartilage is avascular)
Contains small amount of phaygocytic cells
Thin film that covers the surfaces of the articular capsule and hyaline cartilage. Is secreted by the synovial membrane and has Hyaluronic acid. The interstitial fluid filtered from plasma is called what?
Synovial fluid
What kind of ligament lies outside the fibrous capsule?
Extracapsular ligament
What is an example of an Extracapsular ligament?
Tibial collateral(medial) and fibular collateral(lateral) ligaments
What kind of ligament lies within the fibrous capsule but are excluded from the synovial cavity by folds of the synovial membrane?
Intracapsular ligament
What is an example of an intracapsular ligament?
Anterior and posterior ligaments of the knee
What is inside some synovial joints, pads of fibrocartilage that lie between the articular surfaces of the bones, are attached to the fibrous capsule and allow two bones of different shapes to fit more tightly?
meniscus
What have saclike structures placed so as to reduce friction, are found where skin and muscles rub over bone, knee and shoulder and resembles joint capsules in that their outer surface is fibrous tissue and the inner surface consists of a synovial membrane that secretes synovial fluid?
Bursa and Tendon sheaths
What is underneath the deltoid muscle?
Bursa
A structure that retains an organ or tissue in place is called what?
Retinaculum
Connective tissue sites where muscle attaches to bone is called what?
Tendon
The specific site where muscle or ligament attach to bone is called what?
Enthesis
What kind of joint is between the navicular and second and third cuneiforms of tarsus in the foot?
Plane joint
What kind of joint is between the trochlea of humerus and trochlear notch of the ulna at the elbow?
Hinge joints
What kind of joint is between the head of radius and radial notch of ulna?
Pivot joint
What kind of joint is between the radius and scaphoid and lunate bones of carpus?
Condyloid joint
What kind of joint is between the trapezium of carpus and metacarpal of thumb?
Saddle joint
What kind of joint is between head of femur and acetabulum of hip bone?
Ball-and-socket joint
What has three joints in one?
Knee joint
What is the largest and most complex joint in the body?
Knee joint
What is the most commonly injured joint of the body?
Knee joint
The femoropatellar, Lateral and medial Tibiofemoral are what kind of joints?
Knee joint
In what kind f joint is the stability sacrificed in favor of mobility?
Shoulder joint
What articulates between head of femur and acetabulum of pelvis?
Hip joint
The humerus and ulna are examples of what kind of joint?
Elbow joint
The temporomandibular joint is and example of what kind of joint?
TMJ joint
