TYPICALLY ALLOWS A SLIGHT DEGREE OF MOVEMENT

CARTILAGINOUS

INCLUDES JOINTS BETWEEN THE VERTEBRAL BODIES AND THE PUBIC SYMPHYSIS

CARTILAGINOUS

ESSENTIALLY IMMOVEABLE JOINTS

FIBROUS

SUTURES ARE THE MOST REMEMBERED EXAMPLES

FIBROUS

CHARACTERIZED BY CARTILAGE CONNECTING THE BONY PORTIONS

CARTILAGINOUS

ALL CHARACTERIZED BY A FIBROUS ARTICULAR CAPSULE LINES WITH A SYNOVIAL MEMBRANE SURROUNDING A JOINT CAVITY

SYNOVIAL

ALL ARE FREELY MOVABLE OR DIARTHROTIC

SYNOVIAL

BONE REGIONS UNITED BY FIBROUS CONNECTIVE TISSUE

FIBROUS

INCLUDE THE HIP, KNEE, AND ELBOW JOINTS

SYNOVIAL

DESCRIBE THE TISSUE TYPE AND FUNCTION OF THE FOLLOWING STRUCTURES IN RELATION TO A SYNOVIAL JOINT:

LIGAMENT

Ligament is a dense connective tissue made out of fasica that connects one bone to another. It also helps by stabilizing joints during movement

DESCRIBE THE TISSUE TYPE AND FUNCTION OF THE FOLLOWING STRUCTURES IN RELATION TO A SYNOVIAL JOINT:

TENDON

Connective tissue; connects muscle to bone

DESCRIBE THE TISSUE TYPE AND FUNCTION OF THE FOLLOWING STRUCTURES IN RELATION TO A SYNOVIAL JOINT:

ARTICULAR CARTILAGE

CONNECTIVE TISSUE; To cusion the bones from rubbing and smacking on each other. It also allows gliding motion.

DESCRIBE THE TISSUE TYPE AND FUNCTION OF THE FOLLOWING STRUCTURES IN RELATION TO A SYNOVIAL JOINT:

SYNOVIAL MEMBRANE

SOFT CONNECTIVE TISSUE; The synovial membrane secretes synovial fluid which serves to lubricate the joint and reduce the friction between bones in joints

DESCRIBE THE TISSUE TYPE AND FUNCTION OF THE FOLLOWING STRUCTURES IN RELATION TO A SYNOVIAL JOINT:

BURSA

Fibrous connective tissue; the bursa prevents friction within the joints

JOINT BETWEEN THE AXIS AND ATLAS

PIVOT

HIP JOINT

BALL AND SOCKET

INTERVERTEBRAL JOINTS (BETWEEN ARTICULAR PROCESSES)

CONDYLOID

JOINT BETWEEN FOREARM AND BONES AND WRIST

CONDYLOID

ELBOW

Ok, so you’re using my notecards which is great. I am glad I could help you out cause I wish I had someone to help me out when I took this course. I know Anatomy is super hard.

I only ask that if you find these notecards helpful, you join Easy Notecards and create at least one notecard set to help others out. It can be for any subject or class. Thanks and don’t forget to rate my helpfulness!

WHAT CHARACTERISTICS DO ALL JOINTS HAVE IN COMMON?

MOVEMENT

WHICH JOINT, THE HIP OR KNEE, IT MORE STABLE?

HIP

NAME TWO IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE STABILITY OF THE HIP JOINT.

DEEP SOCKET AND LIGAMENTS

NAME TWO IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE STABILITY OF THE KNEE.

THE STRENGTH OF THE ANTERIOR AND POSTERIOR CRUCIFORM LIGAMENTS

AND THE INTEGRITY OF THE CARTRIDGE ON THE BONES AT THE KNEE

THE SHOULDER JOINT IS BUILT FOR MOBILITY. LIST FOUR FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE LARGE RANGE OF MOTION AT THE SHOULDER.

1. BALL AND SOCKET JOINT
2. GLENOID LABRUM DEEPENS THE CAVITY
3. FEW REINFORCING LIGAMENTS
4. THIN/LOOSE ARTICULAR CARTILAGE ENCLOSES THE JOINT

IN WHICH DIRECTION DOES THE SHOULDER USUALLY DISLOCATE?

DOWNWARD DISPLACEMENT OF THE HUMEROUS

WHAT STRUCTURAL JOINT CHANGES ARE COMMON TO THE ELDERLY?

JOINTS DEGENERATE, ADHESION'S MAY FORM WHERE BONES JOIN, EXTRANEOUS BONE TISSUE CAN GROW ALONE JOINT EDGES.

DEFINE SPRAIN.

LIGAMENTS REINFORCING A JOINT ARE DAMAGED BY EXCESSIVE STRETCHING OR ARE TORN AWAY FROM THE BONY ATTACHMENT.

DEFINE DISLOCATION.

BONES ARE FORCED OUT OF THEIR NORMAL POSITION IN THE JOINT CAVITY

WHAT TYPES OF TISSUE DAMAGE MIGHT YOU EXPECT TO FIND INA DISLOCATED JOINT?

TORN OR STRESSED LIGAMENTS
