Question
Answer
Joints/articulations   show
🗑
Functional classification   show
🗑
show joint classification; two criteria-kind of connective tissue binding articulating bones together and presence or absence of a joint cavity between the articulation joints; 3 classes-fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial  
🗑
Fibrous joints   show
🗑
show bones joined by cartilage, no joint activity, slightly moveable, ex. Intervertebral joints of spine, pubic symphasis (both connected with fibrocartilage.  
🗑
show bones are joined by a synovial membrane and fibrous capsule. Joint cavity is present; freely moveable joints; functionally are diathroses joints; ex. Shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle  
🗑
Features of synovial joints   show
🗑
Articular/joint capsule   show
🗑
show outer layer of articular/joint capsule  
🗑
Synovial membrane   show
🗑
Synovial fluid   show
🗑
Articular cartilage   show
🗑
Reinforcing ligaments   show
🗑
Nerves of synovial joints   show
🗑
show in some synovial joints;flat, synovial fluid-filled sacs lined w/ synovial membrane; reduce friction b/t joint related structures that rub against one another during mvnt.In places where ligaments, tendons, muscles, bones, or skin rub together (knee)  
🗑
Menisci/articular discs   show
🗑
show shapes of articular bone surfaces; ligaments, muscle tone  
🗑
Types of movement allowed at synovial joints   show
🗑
Flexion   show
🗑
Extension   show
🗑
Hyperextension   show
🗑
show movement of limb away from the midline of body  
🗑
Adduction   show
🗑
show sort of a semicircular movement of a bone; occurs at shoulder joint and hip joint; occurs at joint formed between dens/odontoid process of the axis and atlas  
🗑
Pronation   show
🗑
show moving palm and forearm from a posterior or downward facing postitoin to an anterior or upward facing position; occurs when the radius rotates around the ulna to bring these bone into a parallel position relative to one another  
🗑
show turning the sole of the foot so it faces medially  
🗑
show turning sole of the foot so it faces laterally  
🗑
Dorsiflexion   show
🗑
Plantar flexion   show
🗑
Protraction   show
🗑
show non-angular movement in which bone is moved straight back. Ex. Squaring the shoulders  
🗑
Elevation   show
🗑
Depression   show
🗑
Types of synovial joints   show
🗑
Hinge joint   show
🗑
show allows for rotation; ex. Atlanto-axial joint, proximal radio-ulnar joint  
🗑
show allows for a wide variety of movements; ex. Shoulder and hip joints  
🗑
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ)   show
🗑
show mainly involves the articulation of radius with scaphoid and lunate bones which are 2 specific carpal bones.  
🗑
show ball and socket type joint; consists of articulation of head of humerus with glenoid cavity/fossa of scapula. Loose fit of humerus head w/ shallow glenoid fossa/cavity makes it most freely moving body joint. Prone to dislocate.  
🗑
show provides stability to shoulder joint; comprised of muscle and tendons. Encircles shoulder joint and includes supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor. Prone to strains & tears when arm is vigorously moved. Baseball pitcher injuries.  
🗑
show hinge joint; consists of fit of the trochlea of humerus into trochlear notch of ulna  
🗑
show ball and socket joint formed by articulation of head of femur with the acetabulum of hip/coxal bone  
🗑
Knee joint   show
🗑
Ankle joint   show
🗑
show sprain, dislocation, torn cartilage injury of knee, bursitis, arthritis  
🗑
show stretched or torn ligament; partly torn will eventually repair themselves but heal slowly  
🗑
Dislocations   show
🗑
Torn cartilage injury of knee   show
🗑
Bursitis   show
🗑
Arthritis   show
🗑
Osteoarthritis   show
🗑
show autoimmune disease; involves inflammation and degeneration of synovial membrane followed by formation and ossification of scar tissue in the joint which can fuse bone ends together and cause deformity.  
🗑
