Anatomy: Joints
Lecture 8: Development of Bones; Joints
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a joint? 3 Main Classes | Where two different pieces of skeleton join Cartilaginous, Synovial, Fibrous |
| Fibrous Joints | skeletal only joined by ligaments 1. suture 2. syndesmosis |
| Syndesmosis | Fibrous ligament with good-sized ligament joining skeletal elements e.g.ligament at distal end of tibia and fibula interosseous membranes, ligamentous sheets between ulna & fibula |
| Synchondrosis | cartilaginous joint of hyaline cartilage e.g. epiphyseal plates |
| Symphysis | fibrocartilage holds bones together ex. pubic symphysis & annulus fibrosus of intervetertebral discs Allows some movement but not as much as synovial joint |
| Synovial Joints | Highly movable joints (e.g.shoulder, knee, hip, wrist) Have capsules and cavities |
| Fibrous Articular capsule (joint capsule) | capsule is ligamentous (dense regular connective tissue). Keep joint from pulling apart Acts as a bag that keeps fluid in joint cavity from bursting out |
| Articular cartilage | absorb some of compressive stress. Bounce back and re-expand always film of synovial fluid between them |
| Synovial membrane | inner layer of joint capsule,layer of connective tissue proper. makes synovial fluid, derived from blood to maintain rich blood supply No membrane on articular cartilage |
| synovial fluid | slippery, viscous lubricant that fills joint cavity consistency of raw egg white (synovial means "joint egg") reduces friction as slippery as ice on polished ice |
| Articular disc (meniscus) | rings of fibrocartilage that occur in some synovial joints, subdivide joint cavity uper shaped differently than lower allow two distinct types of movement allow bone-ends to fit together better e.g. jaw joint, knee joint, etc. |
| What also aids in relieving stresses in synovial joints? | Ligaments help a. thicken fibrous walls of joint capsule b. seperate ligaments internal to capsule c. seperate ligaments outside of capsule |
| What is it called when these ligaments/fibrous capsule is stretched or torn | sprained (e.g. sprained ankle) |
| Why so many nerves in synovial ligaments and where? | very innervated primarily to fibrous joint capsule sensitive to position of joint capsule and how it is being stretched, for brain to maintain balance and coordinate movements |
| Propriocetion | monitoring of joint stretch |
| Where to blood vessels go? | not to the fibrous articular capsule (joint capsule) but to the synovial membrane that produces synovial fluid |
| What does articular disc of temporo-mandibular joint allow? | hinge-like rotation and anterior gliding movement of mandibular head |
| What kind of joints dislocate easily? | Shallow socketed joints dislocate easier than deep sockets like elbow and hig joints |
