QuestionAnswer
What is articulation? Where two bones meet
What is Kinesiology? Study of motion
Two categories of joint movement? Structural and functional
Functional is based on Amount of movement possible- range of motion
Structural is based on? Anatomy only.
3 classes of functional joints? (S.A.D) Synarthrotic, amphiarthrotic, and diarthrotic
3 matrices of structural joints? Mixed type? Fibers, cartilage, bone, and Synovial
Synarthrosis definition and example? Extremely strong, no ROM. Ex- skull sutures
Amphiarthrosis definition and example? Some ROM, but made for stability. Ex-ankles and wrists
Diarthrosis definition and example? Full range of motion, but unstable. Ex- shoulders and knees
What is not important in the structural category? Range of motion
Is the presence of a joint cavity important to structural or functional category? Structural
Description of a synovial joint? Contain all three matrices and a joint cavity
Are joints that allow free ROM stronger or weaker? Weaker
4 Types of synarthrotic joints? (No rom) Suture, gomphosis, synchondrosis, and synostosis
2 types of amphiarthrotic joints? Some rom Syndesmosis and symphysis
One type of diarthrotic joints? Free rom Synovial joint
Suture description and example? Sewn together, found only in skull
Description of gomphosis and example Fibrous connection, binds teeth to socket
Description of synchondrosis and example? Rigid cartilage bridge between two bones, growth plate and ribs 1&2
Description of synostosis and example Two bones fuse together and boundary disappears, frontal and mandible bone
What does metopic sutures require? Surgical correction
Description and example of syndesmosis? Bones connected by ligaments, tibia/fibula and radius/ulna
Description and example of symphysis? Two bones connected by a wedge of tough fibrocartilage, pubic symphysis
Synovial joint features? Only type of diarthrotic joint, and has full range of motion
What are the two parts of joint capsule? Fibrous capsule (outside) and synovial membrane (inside)
What makes synovial fluid? Synovial membrane
Function of articular cartilage? How? Reduces friction in joints during movement due to synovial fluid
What does articular cartilage resemble? Hyaline cartilage but has more water
Most common type of arthritis and its cause? Osteoarthritis due to damage to cartilage
Three functions of synovial fluid? Lubrication, nutrient distribution, and shock absorption
How does synovial fluid work to create lubrication? Cartilage like a sponge filled with synovial fluid creates a hydroplane surface to prevent friction
How does synovial fluid work to distribute nutrients? Chondrocytes live in a vascular articular cartilage, which are then distributed by the vacuum created by movement.
How does synovial fluid cause shock absorption? Viscosity increases with pressure, but decreases with less pressure
Is high viscosity thick or thin? Thick
How does synovial fluid change if stressed? Becomes thicker
Four accessory structures of synovial joints? Meniscus, fat pad, accessory ligaments, and bursae
What is the meniscus? Where is it found? Tough fibrocartilage between bones, found in knee and TMJ
What is the fat pad? Adipose found outside joint capsule, fills in empty space when joints move
Where are Accessory ligaments found? Can be inside or outside the synovial joint
What is the bursae and what is its function? Thin fluid filled pockets in CT, protects where a tendon or ligament rubs against tissue, reduces friction and acts as shock absorbers
What are synovial tendon sheaths? Tubular bursae surrounding long tendons passing over wrist and ankle joints
What is swelling and inflammation of a bursa called? Bursitis
What is the difference between dislocation and subluxation? Dislocation is articulation surfaces forced out of position while subluxation is partial dislocation
What are the three types of arthritis? Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid, and gouty
Osteoarthritis causes and treatment? Repetitive motion of opposing joint surfaces and some genetic factors. Pain management and/or surgical correction
Does bone mass increase or decrease as you age? Decreases
Risks of bone mass decreasing in elderly Hip fracture, dislocation or pelvic fracture
What is gouty arthritis? Occurs when crystals (uric acid or calcium salts) form within synovial fluid
Bone contains 99% of total body... Calcium
Factors of gouty arthritis? Metabolic disorders, Consuming meat, seafood, beer (purines) and being overweight
Factors affecting bone strength? Age, physical stress, hormone levels, calcium and phosphorus uptake, genetic and enviro,ents, factors
Disorders in other body systems can cause... Bone tumors, osteoporosis, arthritis and rickets
Ion that is stored in bone then released to blood Calcium
What is rickets? Vitamin D deficiency
