Grcc bi 121 exam 3

GRCC bi 121 Exam 3 joints

QuestionAnswer
Functional mobility classification synarthotic, amphiarthrotic, diarthrotic
function of synarthotic joint Immovable
cranial joint e.g. of synarthotic joint
function of amphiarthrotic joint some movement
female coccyx e.g. of amphiathrotic joint
function diathrotic joint moveable joint
Chewing funtion or flextion/extension of elbow e.g. of diathrotic joint
Structural classification of joint is grouped by? the binding material
Joint structural classification fibrous, cartilaginous and synovial
what material is fibrous joint made of that bound together bones bound by collagen and ligaments
tibia and fibula or radius and ulna e.g. of fibrous joints
Fibers bewteen bones in close contact are what type of joint? fibrous joint
what material is Cartilaginous joints made of? Hyaline cartilage
Pubic symphasis e.g. of where you would find cartilaginous
Symphis pubis in the pelvis, were cartilaginous materials are found This material allows for maternal pelvic bones to shift as a baby passes through birth canal.
synovial material found in joints of bones are made of what? Bound by a capsule of collagen.
are most joint diathrotic, amphiarthrotic or synarthrotic? Diathrotic- most joints are moveable in the body.
What is the most commone material found in joints? synovial and all are diathertic.
if there is a synovial joint then they are always? diathrotic joint
what makes up most of the body joint? The synovial and all are diathrotic
components of synovial joints Articular cartilage, subchondral plate, Joint (articular) capsule, meniscus, and bursae
Component of synovial joint: articular cartilage function Covered with hyaline cartilage; resists wear and minimized friction.
synovial joint that are covered with a thin layer of hyaline cartilage Articulare cartilage
function of articular cartilage when joint joint moves and there is compression, this decreases friction and resists wear on the joint
Decreases friction articular cartilage decreases?
what results if joints become immobile? cartilage degenerates due to lake of diffusion of nutrients from surrounding tissues to cartilage.
Component of synovial joint: subchondral plate function absorbs the shock
what would fracture the subchondral plate? obesity and jogging and would lead to extreme pain.
subchondral plate spongy bone
To prevent braking the subchondral plate Wear good shoes and run on soft surfaces..as this will cause less damage.
subchondral plate Spongy bone that absorbs shock.
the joint capsule (Articular Joint capsule) Encloses and stabilized joint; holds synovial fluid in place.
Synovial membrane Decreases friction via lubrication; secretes synovial fluid which cushions, lubricates, supplies nutrients, and oxygen to cartilage.
What secretes synovial fluid, cushions, lubricates, supplies nutrients, and oxygen to cartilage? Synovial membrane
Meniscus This divides the joint into compartments and absorbs compression.
where would you find a meniscus? Knee joint
Bursae sack or purse like structure.
A fluid lined sack lined by synovial membrane bursae
Bursae function Provides cusions over bony projections for movement of tendons or ligaments.
where could you find Bursae Olecranon process
Bursitis inflammation of a bursae
Where does bursitis usually occur? Tennis elbow and olecranon bursa
overuse of a joint or stress can lead to inflammation to what type of painful condition? Bursitis
ligaments may be integral or independent and reinforces the joint
What is the function of ligaments limit joint movement.
Arthropathology Disease of the joints
arthropathology: Arthritis types Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid, bacterial
Osteoarthritis causes genetic or trauma
A genetic or traums leading to degeneration of the articular cartilage and the subchondral plate is exposed Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis Bone on bone
Who is affected mainly by osteoarthritis Obese and runners.
Rheumatoid Arthritis An autoimmune disorder causes inflammation of synovial membrane, loss of articulate cartilage, and increases fibers in the joint
Bacterial arthritis Rare form of arthritis caused by Lyme disease, staphlycoccous, streptococcus, gonnorrhea, mycobacterium
Joint Hypermobility AKA Double jointed
Abnormal increase range of motion; extended range of motion Joint Hypermobility
Joint Hypermobility People who have extended range of motion can be great dancers, acrobats, etc
Increase risk of injury to joints What risks are associated to joint hypermobility.
Rheumatoid arthritis is what Systemic...it affects the entire body...i.e. eyes, etc
gout accumalation of uric acid crystals in small joint and causes extreme pain.
Causes of gout diet with increase amount of red meat exacerbates the condition, increases nucieic acids leading to uric acid build up
what condition causes very painful episodes within articulate cartilage of tiny joints (i.e. fingers and toes) gout
Dislocations Head of humerus pops out of joint/muscles hold in normally
what causes dislocations? trauma can pop it out
What are side effects of dislocations? torn tendons, ligaments, vessles, nerves
Torn ACL & menisicus Injury to both happen hand in hand....can't injure one without the other.
From sudden turn while joint is flexed such as knee injury related to skiing Torn ACL & meniscus
Sprains Tearing of joint tendons & or ligaments.
Strains = muscles
Osteomyelitis Bacterial infection of bone
what types of bacteria lead to osteomyelitis MRSA, Staphlycoccus
Life-span changes in joints Fibrous joints, symphysis joints, synovial joints, ligaments.
What happens to fibrous joints during life span? Fibrous joints ossify partially and/or completely
Ossify mean? Calcium and phosphate combine and solidfy and decreasing movement.
Results of fbrous joint ossifying? decreases movement
What happens to symphisis joints during a lifespan? Lose water and therefore decrease in flexibility
symphasis joint this is a joint where one bone meets the body of another bone.
What happens to vertebral discs? Less water impairs the ability of the discs to absorb shock.
These disc become impaired due to less water, and may even collapse causing loss of height in the aged What happens to vertebral discs and what are some results?
What happens to Synovial Joints as we get older? Blood to the synovial membrane decreases, causing increase in fibers.
Decrease in blood to synovial joints increases fibers, therefore? there is a decrease in flexibility of a joint
More fibers and cartilage develop as blood flow decreases leading to what? Lose elasticity and become stiff affecting range of motion.
Disuse of joints hampers what? the blood supply to the joints which hastens stiffening.
Using joints via activity and exercise does what? Increases blood supply to joints and increase function for a longer range of time.
What happens to ligaments as we get older? Collagen fibers cross link, decreasing flex in ligaments.
Collagen is suppose to be parallel? Yes, they resist pulling force to hold body parts together
When collagen fibers cross each other vs remain parallel They lose flexibility and cause stiffness and inability to move.
Ligaments connect bone to bone
tendons connect bones to muscles
