Question
Answer
show Bony, Fibrous, Cartilaginous, and Synovial  
🗑
What is a Bony(synotosis) joint? Example?   show
🗑
show Bones are joined by fibrous tissues. No joint cavity is present. The amount of movement depends on the on the length of the fibers uniting the bones.  
🗑
show Sutures, Gomphoses, and Syndesmoses  
🗑
What is a suture? Example?   show
🗑
show Fibers are short and allow little movement. Example: Between tooth and bone(maxilla or mandible)  
🗑
show Fibers are longer and the attached bones are more movable. Example: Between the tibia/fibula and ulna/radius  
🗑
show When the articulating bone ends are connected by a plate or pad of cartilage. Types: Synchondroses and Symphyses  
🗑
show When bones are connected by 'Hyaline Cartilage'(articular cartilage) Example:*The epiphyseal plates of the long bones seen in children- *Attachment of rib to sternum by hyaline coastal cartilage.  
🗑
What is Symphyses? Example?   show
🗑
show Joints where the articulating bone ends are separated by a joint cavity containing synovial fluid. All synovial joints are freely movable.  
🗑
What are the two types of 'pads' found in synovial joints? Give example for each.   show
🗑
What are the functions of the Articular Discs and Meniscus Pads within the Synovial joints?   show
🗑
What is a tendon?   show
🗑
show Tough dense regular collagenous connective tissue that attaches bone to bone.  
🗑
show Fibrous sac of synovial fluid located between two muscles/or where tendons pass over bone.  
🗑
show 1. cushions muscle 2. helps tendons slide easily over joints(tendon sheaths) 3. can improve mechanical effect(s) of muscle.  
🗑
show Moves only in one plane(Monoaxial) Example: Humeroulnar=Flexion & Extension (can only bend in 1 direction)  
🗑
show Adjacent bones slide over one another(limited monoaxial movement) Example: Joints between the carpals- intercarpals.  
🗑
Synovial Joint: 'Pivot' and Example   show
🗑
show Articular biaxial surface is shaped like a saddle. Example: carpalmetacarpal of thumb(CMC of thumb)  
🗑
Synovial Joint: 'Condyloid/ or Ellipsoid and Example   show
🗑
Synovial Joint: 'Ball and Socket' and Example   show
🗑
show Flexion: Bending Extension: Straightening Anatomical Plane: Sagittal Example: arm, knee, humeral joint, hip  
🗑
Abduction and Adduction/ Anatomical Position/ and Example   show
🗑
Lateral Rotation and Medial Rotation/ Anatomical Position/ and Example   show
🗑
show Supination:Movement of palm to anterior(upward) position Pronation: Movement of palm to posterior(downward) position. Position: Supinated position Example:proximal and distal radioulnar joint  
🗑
show Dorsiflexion: Toes flexed towards knees Plantarflexion: Toes pointed down Position: Sagittal Plane Example: Talocrural Joint  
🗑
show Inversion: Turning foot inward Eversion: Turning foot outward Position: Frontal Plane Example: Subtalar joint  
🗑
Elevation and Depression/ Anatomical Position/ and Example   show
🗑
Protraction and Retraction/ Anatomical Position/ and Example   show
🗑
Upward/Lateral Rotation and Downward/Medial Rotation- Anatomical Position/ and Example   show
🗑
