Question
Answer
a point of contact between bones   articulation  
🗑
joints are divided into three classes   synarthroses (immovable), amphiarthroses (slightly movable), and diarthroses  
🗑
synarthroses joints   fibrous, immovable ex: sutures of the skull  
🗑
amphiarthroses joints   cartilagenous, slighty movable ex: symphysis pubis  
🗑
diarthroses joints   synovial, freely movable, ex: shoulder joint  
🗑
three subtypes of fibrous joints   syndesmoses, sutures, and gomphoses  
🗑
syndesmoses joints   joints in which fibrous bands (ligaments) connect two bones.  
🗑
sutures   lines of fusion between opposing skull bones  
🗑
gomphoses   joints that occur between the root of a tooth and the alveolar process of the mandible or maxilla  
🗑
symphysis joint   joint in which a pad or disk of fibrocartilage connects two bones  
🗑
Synovial joints   freely movable joints  
🗑
seven structures characterize synovial joints   joint capusule, synovial membrane, articular cartiladge, joint cavity, menisci, ligaments, bursae  
🗑
Joint capsule   extension of the periosteum of each articulating bone. forms a complete casing around the ends of the bones, thereby binding them to each other.  
🗑
Synovial membrane   slippery membrane that lines the inner surface of the joint capsule. It attaches to the margins of the articular cartilage. It also secretes synovial fluid, which lubricates and nourishes the inner joint surfaces.  
🗑
Articular cartilage   Thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering and cushioning the articular surfaces of bones.  
🗑
Joint cavity   Small space between the articulating surfaces of the two bones of the joint  
🗑
Menisci   Pads of fibrocartilage located between the articulating ends of bones  
🗑
Ligaments   Strong cords of dense, white fibrous tissue at most synovial joints  
🗑
Some synovial joints contain a closed pillowlike structure called a   Bursae  
🗑
Types of synovial joints   hinge, pivot, saddle, condyloid, ball and socket, gliding  
🗑
Widest range of movement; flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation, circumduction   ball and socket ex: shoulder and hip  
🗑
joint with angular or circular movements   gliding ex: joint between metacarpal and carpal bones  
🗑
joint with flexion and extension only   hinge ex: elbow  
🗑
condyloid joints   joint between radius and carpal bones  
🗑
saddle joint   joint between the first metacarpal and carpal bone  
🗑
type of joint between the first and second cervical vertebrae   pivot  
🗑
joints that occur at points of articulation between the carpal bones   intercarpal joints  
🗑
caused by an internal rotation injury to the anterior talofibular ligament   sprained ankle  
🗑
types and range of movement of synovial joints   angular, circular, gliding, special  
🗑
decreases the angle between bones   Flexion  
🗑
increases the angle between bones   Extension  
🗑
stretching an extended part beyond its anatomical position   hyperextension  
🗑
when the foot is stretched down and back   plantar flexion  
🗑
occurs when the foot is tilted upward, thus decreasing the angle between the top of the foot and the front of the leg   Dorsiflexion  
🗑
moves a part away from the median plane of the body, <vbk:0-323-03718-6#outline(15.3.2.4)>   Abduction  
🗑
part moved towards the median plane Examples include bringing the arm back to the side or moving fingers toward the midline of the hand.   Adduction  
🗑
turns the sole of the foot inward   Inversion  
🗑
turns it outward   Everesion  
🗑
moves a part forward   Protraction  
🗑
an acute musculoskeletal injury to the ligamentous structures surrounding a joint   sprain  
🗑
