Question
Answer
Functional Classifications   1) synarthroses (fibrous joints) 2) amphiarthroses (cartilaginous joints) 3) diarthroses (synovial joints)  
🗑
Describe what synarthroses is   bones united by fibrous tissue and are nonsynovial. Movement dependent on length of fibers  
🗑
Joint that has minimal to no movement   Fibrous (synarthroses)  
🗑
Name the 3 types of fibrous joints   1. suture (sagittal suture of skull) 2. syndesmosis (tibia and fibula with interosseous membrane) 3. gomphosis (tooth in its socket)  
🗑
Describe a suture   Fibrous joint; immovable; eventual fusion termed synostosi  
🗑
Describe syndesmosis   bone connected to bone by dense fibrous membrane; very little motion; fibrous joint  
🗑
Describe gomphosis   fibrous joint; two bony surfaces connect as a peg in a whole; teeth and corresponding sockets in the mandible/maxilla are the ONLY gomphosis joint in body; periodontal membrane is the fibrous component of the joint  
🗑
What is synostosis   eventual fusion of a joint  
🗑
What are the different types of cartilaginous joints   synchondrosis (sternum and true rib articulation) symphysis (pubic symphysis)  
🗑
Describe cartilaginous joints   have a hyaline cartilage or a fibrocartilage connecting one bone to another. Slightly moveable.  
🗑
describe synchondrosis   example is sternum and true rib articulation has hyaline cartilage; cartilage adjoins 2 ossifying centers of bone; provides stability during growth; may ossify to a synostosis once growth is completed; slight movement  
🗑
describe symphysis joint   cartilaginous joint; example is pubic symphysis; generally located at the midline of the body; 2 bones covered with hyaline cartilage; 2 bones connected by fibrocartilage; slight motion  
🗑
what are the different types of diarthroses joints   uniaxial biaxial multiaxial  
🗑
Which joint has fee movement   diarthroses (synovial)  
🗑
What are the 5 distinguishing characteristics of a diarthroses (synovial) joint   1. joint cavity 2. articular cartilage 3. synovial membrane 4. synovial fluid 5 fibrous capsule  
🗑
Which joints are classified by the type of movement and by the shape of articulating bone   synovial joints (diarthroses)  
🗑
what is a uniaxial joint   1 motion around a single axis in 1 plane of the body  
🗑
Which joint is a hinge (ginglymus) joint   Uniaxial synovial joint example: elbow joint  
🗑
Which joint is a pivot (trochoid) joint   uniaxial synovial joint example: atlantoaxial joint  
🗑
Which joint is a condyloid joint   Biaxial synovial joint example: MCP  
🗑
which joint is a saddle joint   biaxial synovial joint example: CMP  
🗑
what is a biaxial joint   movement occurs in 2 planes, around 2 axes through concave/convex surfaces  
🗑
what is a multi-axial joint   synovial movement occurs in 3 planes around 3 axes  
🗑
What are 2 examples of a multi-axial joint   plane (gliding) - carpal joints ball and socket - hip joint  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
