Joints
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is another name for joint? | Articulation |
| The site where two bones meet is called a WHAT or WHAT? | Joint or articulation |
| What are the 3 classifications of joint movement? | Immovable, slightly movable, freely movable |
| These joints permit no movement. What are they called? | Immovable joints |
| The sutures in the skull are what type of joints? The sutures are formed as the irregular edges of the skull bones interlock and are bound by FIBROUS connective tissue. | Immovable |
| Joints that permit limited movement are called WHAT? The limited movement is usually achieved by bones connected ay a cartilaginous disc. | Slightly movable joints. |
| Limited movement in slightly movable joints is usually achieved by bones connected by what? | Cartilaginous disc |
| Movement of the spinal column that occurs at the intervertebral discs is classified as what type of movement? | Slightly movable joints |
| Most of the joints in the skeletal system are what type of movable joints? | Freely movable |
| All freely movable joints are know as WHAT joints? | Synovial joints |
| A typical synovial joint includes 6 supporting structures. Name them. | Articular cartilage, joint capsule, synovial membrane, synovial fluid, bursae, supporting ligaments |
| In a typical synovial joint, the surface of each of the two bones is lined with this, forming a smooth surface within the joint. | Articular cartilage |
| In a typical synovial joint, this is made of fibrous connective tissue and encloses the joint in a strong sleeve like covering. | Joint capsule |
| In a typical synovial joint, this is the lining of the joint capsule. It secretes synovial fluid into the joint cavity. | Synovial membrane |
| In a typical synovial joint, this lubricates the bones in the joint, thereby decreasing the friction within the joint. | Synovial fluid |
| Many synovial joints contain small sacs of synovial fluid between the joint and the tendons that cross over the joint. They permit the tendons to slide as the bones moves. | Bursae |
| These join the articulating bones together and stabilize the joint. They are found on the sides of the knee and found inside the knee. They can be stretched or torn causing pain and loss of mobility. | Supporting ligaments |
| There are 6 types of freely movable joints. Name them | Hinge joint Ball and socket joint Pivot joint Saddle joint Gliding joint Condyloid joint |
| This type of joint is formed when the ball-shaped end of one bone fits into the cup-shaped socket of another bone. This allows the bones to move in many directions around a central point. Examples are shoulder and hip joints. | Ball and socket |
| This type of joint allows for rotation around the length of a bone. It only allows for rotation. Example is the side to side movement of the head to say "no". | Pivot joint |
| This joint is formed when the surfaces of both articulating bones are saddle-shaped. The saddle shape of one bone is concave while the other bone is convex. Example is thumb. | Saddle joint |
| This type of joint is formed by the interaction of the flat surfaces of the articulating bones. It allows for a limited but complex gliding movement. Example is wrist, ankle, vertebral column. | Gliding joint |
| This type of joint is formed when the oval articular surface of one bone fits into the oval depression of the second articulating bone. The radiocarpal joint (wrist) and metacarpophalangeal joints (knuckles) are examples. | Condyloid joint |
| Joints are classified according to the types of tissues that bind the bones at the joint. What are they? | Fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial |
| The elbow and knee are examples of what type of joint? | Hinge |
| The shoulder and hip are examples of what type of joint? | Ball and socket |
| The wrist and ankle are examples of what types of joint? | Gliding |
| The knuckles are an example of what type of joint? | Condyloid |
| The thumb is an example of what type of joint? | Saddle |
| The yes no action performed by C1 Atlas and C2 Axis are example of what type of joint? | Pivot |
