QUESTION
How does a bony joint form?
Answer:
When fibrous/cartilaginous joints ossify
QUESTION
3 Types of Functional Joints
Answer:
Synarthroses, Amphiarthroses, and Diarthroses
QUESTION
Synarthrosis
Answer:
An immovable joint that can be fibrous/cartilaginous, being able to ossify and make a bony joint
QUESTION
Amphiarthrosis
Answer:
A slightly moveable joint that can be either fibrous or cartilaginous
QUESTION
Diarthrosis
Answer:
A freely moveable joint that is also referred to as a synovial joint, being divided by their planes of
movement
QUESTION
Fibrous Synarthrosis
Answer:
Includes sutures (found between the bones of the skull) and gomphosis (binds teeth to bony
sockets)
, QUESTION
Cartilaginous Synarthrosis
Answer:
Includes synchondrosis, which is found on the ends of the first pair of vertebrosternal ribs,
manubrium of the sternum, and epiphyseal cartilage
QUESTION
Bony Synarthrosis
Answer:
Includes synostosis, which is created when two bones fuse and the boundary between them
disappears. Found on the frontal (metric) suture of the frontal bone
QUESTION
Fibrous Amphiarthrosis
Answer:
Includes syndesmosis, which are where bones are connected by a ligament, like the distal joint
between the tibia and fibula
QUESTION
Cartilaginous Amphiarthrosis
Answer:
Includes symphysis, which is where articulating bones are connected by a wedge/pad of
fibrocartilage, such as the two pubic bones
QUESTION
Synovial Diarthrosis
Answer:
Permit a wider range of motion (monaxial, biaxial, and triaxial), and can be found at the ends of
long bones, like the upper/lower limbs
QUESTION
What is the relationship between joint movement and joint strength?
Answer:
The greater the range of motion at a joint, the weaker it becomes. For example the synarthrosis is
the strongest, but permits no movement, while the diarthrosis is weak, but has a lot of motion
