Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
articulation   site where two or more bones meet (joint) gives skeleton mobility and hold together  
🗑
functional classification   based on amount of movement occurring at the joint synarthroses, amphiarthroses, and diarthroses  
🗑
synarthroses   no movement sutures of the skull  
🗑
amphiarthroses   little movement acromioclavicular  
🗑
diarthroses   freely movable glenohumeral, elbow, fingers  
🗑
structural classification   based on what binds the bones together fibrous joints, cartilaginous joints, and synovial joints  
🗑
fibrous joints   bones are united by collage fibers sutures  
🗑
cartilaginous joints   bones are united by a plate of cartilage ribs of sternum, pubic symphysis  
🗑
synovial joints   bones are separated by joint cavity very movable diarthroses  
🗑
structure of synovial joint   articular cartilage, joint cavity, synovial fluid, joint capsule, and reinforcing ligaments  
🗑
articular cartilage   hyaline cartilage found on the ends of long bones  
🗑
joint cavity   space that surrounds the joint  
🗑
synovial fluid   reduce friction nourishes cartilage cells  
🗑
joint capsule   encloses the joint composed of fibrous capsule (outer layer of joint capsule) and synovial membrane (lines inside of the fibrous capsule)  
🗑
reinforcing ligaments   strengthen and stabilize joint  
🗑
bursae   sacs filled with synovial fluid that reduce friction  
🗑
tendon sheaths   elongated bursae which wrap around tendons, reduce friction  
🗑
sprain   a ligament is stretched or torn heal very slowly  
🗑
dislocation   bones are forced out of alignment  
🗑
temporomandibular joint (tmj)   formed by mandibular condyles of the mandible and the mandibular fossae of the temporal bones  
🗑
shoulder (glenohumeral) joint   glenoid labrum: rim of fibrocartilage ligaments: glenohumeral ligament, acromioclavicular ligament, coracoacromial ligament, coracoclavicular ligament rotator cuff muscles: supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis (SITS)  
🗑
elbow joint   trochlea of humerus and trochlear notch of the ulna; capitulum of the humerus and head of the radius; radial notch of the ulna and head of the radius; olecranon fossa of the humerus and olecranon process of the ulna ligaments: ulnar collateral ligament;  
🗑
hip joint   formed by head of femur and acetabulum of coxal bone acetabular labrum: circular rim of fibrocartilage ligaments: ligaments of the joint capsule (thickenings that help strengthen coxal joint); ligament teres (attaches head of femur to acetabulu, no role  
🗑
knee joint   formed by medial & lateral condyles of femur and medial & lateral articular surfaces (condyles) of the tibia minisci: fibrocartilage disks (between tibial & femoral condyles) ligament: patellar ligament, medial collateral ligament (tibia), lateral colla  
🗑
ankle joint   lateral malleolus of the fibula medial malleolus of the tibia talus anterior tibiofibular ligament posterior tibiofibular ligament anterior talofibular ligament posterior talofibular ligament calcaneofibular ligament medial (deltoid) ligament of a

To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
