Question
Answer
another name for synovial joints?   show
🗑
show the most anatomically complex joint & the most common in the body, bones are separated by a joint cavity.  
🗑
show it is a remarkable joint: it is self-lubricating, almost frictionless, able to bear heavy loads & can withstand compression while executing smooth & precise movements  
🗑
movement in synovial joints?   show
🗑
what are the main components of a basic synovial joint?   show
🗑
articular surfaces/discs   show
🗑
show a narrow space that separates the facing articular surfaces of 2 bones.  
🗑
joint fluid   show
🗑
show a complex mixture of hyaluronic acid (secreted by the modified CT cells in synovial membrane), proteins & fats (provided by the blood filtrate) & phagocytes (which clean up tissue debris from joint cavity)  
🗑
how much synovial fluid is in the knee?   show
🗑
joint capsule   show
🗑
fibrous capsule   show
🗑
synovial membrane   show
🗑
role of ligaments in a synovial joint?   show
🗑
show in certain synovial joints, the synovial membrane may extend as a pocket or sac filled with synovial fluid. This provides a fluid-filled cushion b/w structures (i.e. b/w adjacent muscles, tendon & bone, bone & skin, etc)  
🗑
Tendon sheaths   show
🗑
blood supply in a synovial joint? (prevalence, location and function?)   show
🗑
nerves in a synovial joint? (prevalence & location?)   show
🗑
why do we need nerves in a synovial joint?   show
🗑
proprioception   show
🗑
show by the shape of the adjoining articular surfaces  
🗑
show motion between bones occurs in only one plane  
🗑
show motion between bones occurs in 2 planes  
🗑
show motion is possible in all three planes of space  
🗑
show hinge joint & pivot joint  
🗑
what are the biaxial synovial joints?   show
🗑
what is the only multiaxial synovial joint?   show
🗑
hinge joint (definition and mobility)   show
🗑
show elbow, knee, interphalangeal joints  
🗑
pivot joint (definition & mobility?)   show
🗑
show axis to atlas, (rotates back and forth) radioulnar joint of elbow (twist forearm back and forth)  
🗑
show 2 flat surfaces gliding across eachother (biaxial)  
🗑
examples of plane/gliding joints?   show
🗑
condyloid/ellipsoid joint (definition and mobility?)   show
🗑
examples of condyloid joint?   show
🗑
show two concave surfaces oriented at right angles to eachother (biaxial)  
🗑
show carpometacarpal joint of thumb (allows twiddling of thumbs)  
🗑
ball-and-socket joint? (definition & mobility?)   show
🗑
convex cylinder of one bone articulates with corresponding concavity of another bone?   show
🗑
relatively cylindrical bony process that rotates within a ring composed partly of bone and partly of ligament?   show
🗑
2 flat surfaces gliding across eachother?   show
🗑
show condyloid/ellipsoid joint  
🗑
two concave surfaces oriented at right angles to eachother?   show
🗑
a ball articulating with a socket?   show
🗑
show 8 carpals (dots), four metacarpals (just fingers, ring finger is between carpals). five phalanges. saddle = carpometacarpal joint of thumb (circle b/w carpal & phalange of thumb). condyloid = metacarpophalangeal joints (circle all 4 b/w meta & phalange)  
🗑
label synovial joints, & related structures   show
🗑
show see page 6  
🗑
label synovial joint classifications (class handout)   show
🗑
show 8 carpals (dots), four metacarpals (just fingers, ring finger is between carpals). five phalanges. saddle = carpometacarpal joint of thumb (circle b/w carpal & phalange of thumb). condyloid = metacarpophalangeal joints (circle all 4 b/w meta & phalange)  
🗑
label synovial joints, & related structures   show
🗑
show see page 6  
🗑
show see page 7
