Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
Typically allows a slight degree of movement | Cartilaginous |
Includes joints between the vertebral bodies and the pubic symphisis | Cartilaginous |
Essentially immovable joints | Fibrous |
Sutures are the most remembered examples | Fibrous |
Characterized by cartilage connecting the bony portions | Cartilaginous |
All are freely movable or diarthrotic | Synovial |
Bone regions untied by fibrous connective tissue | Fibrous |
Include the hip, knee, and elbow joints | Synovial |
Ligament | Unite bones and prevent excessive or undesirable motion |
Tendon | Anchors muscle to connective tissue covering of bone cartilage or fascia of other muscles |
Articular cartilage | Absorb compression to prevent bone from being crushed |
Synvoial membrane | Lines fibrous capsule and covers all internal joint surfaces that are not hyaline |
Bursa | Reduce frction, flattened fibrous sacs lined with synovial membrane contain thin film of synovial fluid |
Joint between the axis and atlas | pivot |
hip joint | Ball and socket |
Intervertebral joints (between articular processes) | Gliding |
Joint between forearm bones and wrist | Condyloid |
Elbow | Hinge |
Interphalangeal joints | Hinge |
Intercarpal joints | Gliding |
Joint between talus and tibia/fibula | Hinge |
Joint between skull and vertebral column | Pivot |
Joint between jaw and skull | Condyloid |
Joints between proximal phalanges and metacarpal bones | Condyloid |
A multiaxial joint | Ball and socket |
Biaxial joints | Condyloid and gliding |
Uniaxial joints | Hinge and pivot |
Characteristics of all joints | Give skeleton mobility and hold bones together |
Two factors that contribute to the stability of the hip joint | Acetabular labriumLigaments (iliofemoral, pubofemoral, ischiofemoral) |
Two important factors that contribute to the stability of the knee | Femopatellar jointMenisci |
Four factors that contribute to large range of motion at the shoulder | Anatomical neck of humerus is thin and looseMuscle tendons cross shoulder joints Rotator cuff encircles shoulder/blends with articular capsule Glenoid labrum is 1/3 size of humeral head |
Which direction does the shoulder dislocate | Forward and downward direction |
what structural joint changes are common in the elderly | Arthritis and osteoarthritis |
Sprain | Ligaments (reinforcing a joint) torn or stretched |
Dislocation | Bones are forced out of normal alignment in a joint |
What types of tissue damage do you expect to find in a dislocated joint | InflammationDifficulty moving Repeat dislocation stretches the joint capsule and ligaments Leads to loose capsule that poorly reinforces the joint |
