Term | Definition |
---|---|
Arthrology | study of joint structure and function |
Joint | junction b/w 2 or more bones |
Articulations are designed for... | Mobility and stability |
Synarthrosis | An immovable joint held by dense CT (non-synovial) |
Arthrosis | a freely movable joint (synovial) |
Example of suture joint | Cranial bones |
Example of gomphosis | tooth socket |
Example of syndesmosis | tibia-fibula |
5 characteristics of diarthrotic joints | joint capsule, joint cavity, synovial fluid, synovial tissue, hyaline cartilage |
Two layers surrounding the joint capsule (outside and inside) | Stratum fibrosum (outside), stratum synovium (inside) |
Secretion of the stratum synovium | synovial fluid |
Synovial fluid provides | joint lubrication |
Lubricin | clear, lubricating fluid inside a joint |
Bursa | fluid filled sack that decreases friction |
Uniaxial | 1 DF |
Biaxial | 2 DF |
Triaxial | 3 DF |
Trochoid joint (aka pivot joint) | 1 DF, rotation; e.g. atlas + axis |
Condyloid joint | 2 DF, Convex/concave; e.g. radiocarpal joint, MCP |
Saddle joint | 2 DF; e.g. sternoclavicular joint |
Spheroidal | 3 DF, ball and socket; e.g. humeroglenoid joint |
Plane joint | 3 DF, like book on smooth surface; e.g. CMC joint |
Ovoid joints | convex/concave |
Sellar joints | saddle joint |
Static stabilizers | provide joint stability w/o moving (e.g. ligaments) |
Dynamic stabilizers | provide joint stability w/ motion (e.g. muscles and tendons) |
What joint in the body uses only dynamic stabilizers? | Scapulothoracic |
Joint mechanoreceptors sense | motion, stability, pain |
Ruffini receptors | (1) stretch receptors |
Pacini receptors | (2) pressure receptors |
Golgi receptors | (3) sense pressure and force in movement |
Unmylinated receptors | (4) sense mechanical stress (pain) |
Free nerve endings | (5) sense pain |
5 types of mechanoreceptors | 1 ruffini, 2 pacini, 3 golgi, 4 umylinated, 5 free nerve endings |
Closed kinematic chain | movement with distal limb fixed |
Open kinematic chain | movement with distal limb NOT fixed |
Osteokinematics | movement of bone shaft |
Joint play | how a joint moves |
Roll and glide in opposite direction when joints are... | Convex on concave |
Roll and glide in same direction when joints are... | Concave on convex |
Joint mobilization typically occurs in the direction of ___ | The glide |
Instantaneous axis of rotation | the axis of rotation changes with the motion of the joint |
A joint has maximal congruity when it is... | in a closed-pack position |
Characteristics of closed-pack position | high stability, non-contractile tissue at max stretch, least joint play |
Characteristics of open-pack position (aka loose-pack position) | more motion, less stability |
Ginglymus (aka Hinge joint) | 1 DF, uniaxial; e.g. humeroulnar joint, door hinge |
Throchoid (aka pivot joint) | 1 DF, uniaxial; e.g. humeroradial joint, door knob |
