◉ Synarthroses.
Answer: Another term for fibrous joints
◉ Skull
-union of 2 bones by a ligament or membrane
-immovable joint.
Answer: Example of a suture joint
◉ Ex: tibia and fibula with interosseous membrane
-bone connected to bone by a dense fibrous membrane or cord
-very little motion.
Answer: Ex: of syndesmosis
◉ Ex: Tooth in socket
-2 bony surfaces connect as a peg in a hole.
Answer: Ex: of gomphosis
,◉ synchondrosis and symphysis.
Answer: 2 types of cartilaginous joints
◉ amphiarthroses.
Answer: Another term for cartilaginous joints
◉ Ex: sternum and true rib articulation
*Provides SLIGHT motion
-hyaline cartilage
-cartilage adjoints two ossifying centers of bone
-provides stability during growth.
Answer: Synchondrosis
◉ Ex: pubic symphysis
*Provides SLIGHT motion
-2 bones covered with hyaline cartilage and connected by
fibrocartilage.
Answer: Symphysis
◉ Uniaxial joint
biaxial joint
multi-axial joint.
,Answer: 3 Types of synovial joints
◉ diarthroses - Free movement.
Answer: another name for synovial joints
*Provide what type of movement?
◉ Synovial.
Answer: Which joints are them most complex and vulnerable to
injury?
◉ joint cavity, articular cartilage, snynovial membrane, synovial fluid
and fibrous capsule.
Answer: Synovial joints have 5 distinguishing characteristics. what
are they?
◉ one motion around a single axis in one plane of the body
Ex: Hinge - elbow
Pivot - atlantoaxial joints.
Answer: Give 2 examples of an uniaxial joint
◉ Movement occurs in 2 planes and around 2 axes through the
convex/concave surfaces.
-Condyloid- metacarpophalangeal joint of finger
, -Saddle - carpometacarpal joint of the thumb.
Answer: Biaxial joint
◉ movement occurs in 3 planes and around 3 axes
Ex: plane (gliding)- carpal joints
ball and socket - hip joint.
Answer: Multi-axial joint
◉ free nerve endings, golgi ligaments endings, golgi-mazzoni
corpuscles, pacinian corpuscles and ruffini endings.
Answer: Common joint receptors?
◉ Location - Joint capsule, ligamets, synovium, fat pads
Sensitivity - sensitive to non-noxious mechanical stress and noxious
mechanical or biochemical stimuli
Distribution - all joints.
Answer: Joint receptors (Free Nerve endings)
-Location
-Sensitivity
-Primary distribution
◉ Location -fibrous layer of joint capsule
