Terms & Definitions

QuestionAnswer
What does Arthros- mean? joint
What is Articulation? where two things meet
What is Kinesiology? The study of motion
What does R.O.M stand for? Range of motion
What are the two categories of joint motion? Functional & Structural
What are the 3 classes of functional ROM? Synarthrosis Amphiarthrosis Diarthrosis
What is the Functional ROM acronym? S.A.D
What are the 3 matrices of the structural anatomy of joints? Fibrous Cartilaginous Bony
What is not important in the structural category? Range of motion
Is the presence of a joint cavity important to the structural or functional cavity? Structural
Describe synovial joints Synovial joints contain all three matrices and a joint cavity.
Describe synovial joint features
Synarthrosis types and ROM No ROM 1.) Suture 2.) Gomphosis 3.) Synchondrosis 4.) Synostosis
What is a suture and where can it be found? bones sewn together by tough fibers. Found in the skull.
What is Gomphosis? Where can it be found? Binds teeth to sockets. Can be found in the mouth
What is Synchondrosis and where can it be found? a rigid cartilage bridge between two bones. found in growth plates.
what is synostosis and where can it be found? When two bones fuse together and a boundary disappears. Found in the skull (metopic suture)
Amphiarthrosis types and ROM? Some ROM 1.) Syndesmosis 2.) Symphysis
What is syndesmosis and where can it be found? Bones connected by ligaments. Found in tibia/fibula and ulna/radius.
What is Symphysis and where can it be found? Two bones connected by a wedge of tough fibrocartilage. Found in the pubis. (invertebral discs)
Diarthrosis type and ROM? Free ROM 1.) Synovial Joint
Describe synovial joint features Full ROM only type of diarthrotic joint Found at ends of articulating bones
Ten special structures of synovial joints? 1.) Joint(articular)Capsule 2.) Fibrous capsule (outside) 3.) Synovial membrane (inside) 4.) Synovial fluid 5.) Joint cavity 6.) Articular cartilage 7.) Menisci 8.) Fat pads 9.) Bursae 10.) Ligaments
What are two parts of joint cavities? Fibrous capsule and Synovial membrane
What makes synovial fluid? The synovial membrane
What is the job of the articular cartilage? reduces friction during movement of articulating bones
what is the most common type of arthritis and its cause? Osteoarthritis; caused by damage to cartilage which results in pain due to friction!
what are three functions of synovial fluid? 1.) Lubrication -creates a hydroplane surface 2.) Nutrient Distribution -Vacuum created by movement 3.) Shock Absorption -Viscosity increases w/ pressure and decreases w/ less pressure
how does synovial fluid change when stressed the viscosity of synovial fluid increases when stressed and decreases w/ less stress
What are the four accessories of synovial joints? meniscus, Fat pad, ligaments, and Bursae
where is a meniscus found? found in the knee
Where is a Bursa found? example? found where a tendon or ligament rubs against tissue. on top of the patella
what is swelling and inflammation of a bursa called? bursitis
what’s the difference between dislocation and subluxation? subluxation is a partial dislocation
What are 3 types of arthritis? Osteoarthritis , Rheumatoid arthritis, and Gouty arthritis
what is osteoarthritis a form of arthritis due to repetitive motion of opposing joint surfaces
What is Rheumatoid arthritis? an autoimmune disease of the joints caused by genetics and environmental factors
What is Gouty Arthritis? Occurs when crystals form in synovial fluid
What is the most common type of Arthritis? Osteoarthritis
What are the treatments to correct joint immobilization? Continuous passive motion or CPM therapy
does bone mass increase or decrease with age? decrease
which ion does bone store and release into the blood? Calcium
