Bones and Joints
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what is the purpose of joints? | allows bones to move, bear weight, provide stability |
| what are the types of joints? | fibrous- little to no movement, cartilagenous- connects bone to cartilage; slightly movable, synovial- connects bone to bone; free movement |
| what are some examples of synovial joints? | hinge, pivot, ellipsoid, saddle, ball & socket, gliding/plane |
| what are some examples of fibrous joints? | syndesmoses (on top of tibia and fibula), sutures (on the skull), gomphosis (teeth in gum) |
| what are some examples of cartilaginous joints? | "disc-like", synchondroses (medial portion of ribs near sternum), symphyses (vertebral disc, pubic symphysis) |
| what is a hinge joint? | uniaxial, provide free movement, ex. elbow, IP joints |
| what is a pivot joint? | uniaxial, designed like a doorknob and allows one bone to spin on the surface of another one, ex. atlantoaxial joint, radioulnar joint |
| what is a condyloid joint? | biaxial, it's like an egg resting in your palm. ex. radiocarpal joinnt, metacarpophalangeal joint |
| what is a saddle joint? | biaxial, carpometacarpal joint of thumb |
| what is a ball and socket joint? | triaxial, shoulder and hip joints |
| what is a gliding/plane joint? | looks like a book sliding on top of a tabletop, carpals, tarsals |
| what are the 5 characteristics of a synovial joint? | they have a joint cavity, articular cartilage, synovial membrane, synovial fluid, fibrous capsule |
| what is articular cartilage? | it covers the end of a bone, provides a smooth surface and cannot repair itself. LOW FRICTION |
| what is fibrocartilage? | it is a shock absorption support and is found in intervertebral discs, any labrum . IMPACT. |
| what role does synovial fluid play? | lubricates and nourishes cartilage, reduces friction and shock absorption. clear/yellow fluid |
| what is osteoarthritis? | the breakdown or loss of cartilage |
| what are the stages of a sprain? | mild, moderate, severe |
| what is synovitis? | inflammation of a synovial membrane |
| what is synovitis? | inflammation of tendon sheath |
| what is capsulitis? | inflammation of the joint capsule |
| what does FOOSH stand for? | fall on out stretched hand |
| what is the most common fractured bone on an elderly person | proximal femur |
| what is osteomyelitis | infection of the bone caused by bacteria, usually secondary to a facture that breaks the skin open |
| what is legg-calve-perthes disease | blood supply to the ball-shaped head of the femur is cut off causing the bone to die and weaken |
| what is slipped femoral capital epiphysis | hip disorder in growing adolescents where the ball at the upper end of the femoral head slips off the neck of the bone through the growth plate |
| what is osgood schlatter disease? | common overuse injury that causes pain and swelling just below the kneecap in growing adolescents |
| joint, bone, muscle, tendon, ligament, fascia, cartilage, blood terminology | arthro, osteo, myo, teno, ligamento, fascio, chrondro, hemato |
