Question
Answer
What are the 3 types of joints?   1. fibrous 2. cartilaginous 3. synovial  
🗑
what percentage of your joints are synovial joints?   90%  
🗑
what are the characteristics of synovial joints?   highly moveable and they all have synovial capsule surrounding the entire joint (synovial membrane) which secretes synovial fluid and cartilage which pads the ends of the articulating bones.  
🗑
what is a synovial capsule?   collagenous structure that surrounds the entire joint  
🗑
what is the synovial membrane?   the inner layer of epithelial tissue of the capsule which secretes synovial fluid. there is blood supply here so oxygen gets in indirectly.  
🗑
what is hyaline cartilage?   cartilage which pads the ends of the articulating bones  
🗑
what are the 3 things synovial joints have?   1. synovial capsule 2. synovial membrane 2. hyaline cartilage  
🗑
what is synovial fluid?   lubricating liquid that has a consistency of snot (thick and slippery). these surfaces move past one another with minimal friction  
🗑
what are ligaments?   attachments of bone to bone  
🗑
joints that are not moveable are?   1. cranial joints 2. joints between sacrum and 2 hip bones (sacrohippum joints) 3. teeth  
🗑
what are periodontal ligaments?   ligament that holds teeth down. made of collagen  
🗑
what happens when you crack your knuckles?   increase volume between the ones so pressure drops caused by pulling nitrogen bubbles out of blood.  
🗑
why can't you crack knuckles right after you crack them once?   there is a period of time you need to wait for nitrogen bubbles to go back into solution again  
🗑
what are fibrous joints?   joints help together by ligaments. i.e. teeth= periodontal ligaments  
🗑
what are articular capsules?   articular capsules surround each synovial joint  
🗑
what part of the bone erodes?   cartilage, but this does not have to do with old age  
🗑
what are cartilagenous joints?   connection between articulating bones. i.e. vertebrae, chest(sternum)  
🗑
3 types of synovial joints are?   1. hinge joint 2. condyloid joints 3. ball and socket joints  
🗑
example of hinge joint   elbow and knee  
🗑
what kind of movement does hinge joint have?   flexion/extension  
🗑
examples of condyloid joints   wrist/phalanges  
🗑
what kind of movement does condyloid joints have?   flexion/extension adduction/abduction circumduction  
🗑
examples of ball and socket joints   shoulder and hip  
🗑
what kind of movement does ball and socket have?   flexion/extension adduction/abduction internal and external rotation  
🗑
how stable are mobile joints?   most mobile joints are least stable  
🗑
First Class lever   weight and force are on opposite sides of the fulcrum. muscle on either side of fulcrum. very rare in the body  
🗑
examples of first class lever   skull and atlas vertebrae of the spine  
🗑
Second Class lever   load is between the fulcrum and the force. weight is on the side of the fulcrum  
🗑
examples of second class lever   pushing or pulling across the heel of the foot  
🗑
third class lever   force is between the fulcrum and load. used 90% of the time by muscles.  
🗑
examples of third class lever   elbow joint.picking up something or fishing  
🗑
what happens to the muscles when you do work?   even the long ones shorten about .5-1 inch  
🗑
what is the disc?   fiber cartilage. it is flexible but has higher collagen component. it is still, but compressible. it is hard to repair than regular cartilage  
🗑
what is a meniscus?   knee disc. makes joints fit together better. keeps them froms liding off by creating a concave place for the heads of bones to fit  
🗑
what is a labrum?   shoulder disc. fiber cartilage that runs around glenoid. it makes the surface that the shoulder is sitting in bigger and more concave  
🗑
what is TMJ?   jaw disc. can open jaw and then open it even further. you can feel it drop and swing forward.  
🗑
articular disc allow for jaw to?   open further, drop, and swing forward  
🗑
what happens when someone has TMJ?   usually from chewing gum. basically occurs when there is a loose disc in the fossa. it sits into position and snaps back.  
🗑
do discs wear out?   yes! as you get older, discs wear out  
🗑
what areas of your body have the most stress?   knees, hips, and shoulders  
🗑
how many ligaments to most important joints have?   about half a dozen  
🗑
what is bursa?   fluid-filled sac, lined with synovial membranes, that occurs near a joint. allows the skin to move around.  
🗑
what is bursitis?   inflammation of bursa. if the bursa become inflammed then it fills up with fluid.  
🗑
what is articular cartilage?   aka hyaline cartilage that has its surface moving past each other. there no is no blood supply nor nerve supply. important in movement of one bone against another.  
🗑
