Question
Answer
Articulation (joint)   point of contact between bones, cartilage and bone, or teeth and bones  
🗑
Arthology   the study of joints  
🗑
Arthritis   inflamation of a joint  
🗑
Rheumatoid Arthritis   primary symptom is synovitis  
🗑
Osteoarthritie   wear and tear on joint surfaces  
🗑
Gouty Arthritis   due to elevated uric acid concentrations  
🗑
Synarthroses   immovable joints  
🗑
Amphiarthroses   slightyly moveable joints  
🗑
Diarthroses   freely moveable joints  
🗑
Functional Method of Classification   based on the degree of movement permitted by the joints  
🗑
Structureal Method of Classification   based on the presence or absense of a space (synovial cavity) between bones and the kind of connective tissue that binds the bones together  
🗑
Fibrous Joints   sutures, syndesmosis, and gomphosis  
🗑
Sutures   located between the skull bones; interlocking and overlapping; synostoses; synarthrotic Names: coronal, squamosal, lambdoidal, and sagittal  
🗑
Synostoses   joints present during growth but replaced by bone in adult (ex: right and left halves of frontal bone  
🗑
Syndesmosis   bone surfaces are united by larger amound of fibrous connective tissue; not as tight as a suture; amphiarthrotic Ex: distal articulation of tibia with fibula; radioulnar interosseus membrane  
🗑
Gomphosis   cone shaped peg fits into a socket; synarthrotic Ex: roots of teeth in maxillae or mandible  
🗑
Cartilaginous Joints   no joint cavity; bones are connected by cartilage  
🗑
Synchondrosis   hyaline cartilage is the connecting material; synarthrotic most common at epiphyseal plate- in time it becomes a synostosis; located between first rib and manubrium  
🗑
Symphysis   fibrocartilage makes up connecting material; amphiarthrotic Ex: between vertebrae, at pubis Note: dentary bones fuse into the mandible and mental symphysis becomes a mental protuberance, a synostosis  
🗑
Synovial Joints   have a cavity, articular capsule unites bones; fibrous capsule-collagenous CT; some joints have menisci of fibrocartilage (shock absorbing); all are diarthrotic  
🗑
Gliding Joints   flat articular surfaces, one bone slides over the other in several directions Ex: carpals and tarsals; sternum-clavicle; superior and inerior articular processes of vertebrae  
🗑
Hinge Joints   convex surface of one bone fits into concave surface of the other Ex: elbow; knee with patella (sesmoid bone)  
🗑
Pivot Joint   rounded, pointed or conical surface of one bone articulates with the shallow depression of another bone Ex: atlas-axis; proximal ends of radius and ulna  
🗑
Ellipsoidal/Condyloid Joint   oval shped condyle of one bone fits into the elliptical cavity of another bone Ex: metacarpal bone-proximal phalanx  
🗑
Saddle Joint   articular surfaces of both bones are saddle-shaped (concave in one direction and convex in the other) Ex: trapezium metacarpal of thumb  
🗑
Ball and Socket   ball like surface fits into cup like depression Ex: humerus with glenoid fossa of scapula; femur with acetabulum of coxal bone (ilium, ischium, and pubis)  
🗑
