Joint and Bone Classification

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Long Bones   Found only in limbs. Consist of long cylindric shaft (body) and two enlarged rounded ends.  
🗑
Short Bones   Cancellous bone. Red marrow Compact bone outer layer  
🗑
Irregular Bones   Shape and variety fits into no other catagory.  
🗑
Flat Bones   Consist largely of two table of compact bone with inner layer of cancellous bone and red marrow (diploid).  
🗑
Sesamoid bones   Small oval bones that develop inside/beside tendons.  
🗑
Fibrous Joints   Do not have joint cavity. United by fibrous and connective tissue. Strongest joints  
🗑
Syndesmosis   Fibrous joint immovable / slightly movable joint. United by sheets of fibrous tissue.  
🗑
Suture   Immovable fibrous joint only in skull interlocking bones  
🗑
Gomphosis   fibrous joint immovable joint only in roots of teeth  
🗑
Cartilaginous Joints   no joint cavity virtually immovable Hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage  
🗑
Symphysis   Carilaginous joint Slightly movable pad of fibrocartilage hyaline cartilage ends Strength and shock absorb (Pubic symphysis)  
🗑
synchondrosis   cartilaginous joint immovable rigid cartilage uniting two bones (epiphyseal plate)  
🗑
Synovial joint   wide range of motion freely movable most complex Synovial capsule  
🗑
Gliding (plane)   Simplest synovial joint uniaxial movement Flat or slightly curved surface (intercarpal, intertarsal)  
🗑
Hinge   Synovial Uniaxial only flexion and extension (elbow, knee, ankle)  
🗑
Pivot (trochoid)   Synovial uniaxial rotate around single axis (atlas and axis)  
🗑
Ellipsoid (condyloid)   Synovial Biaxial two direction right angle movement Flexion, extension, adduction, abduction (radiocarpal joint in wrist)  
🗑
Saddle (sellar)   Synovial, biaxial movement, both concave and convex, side to side-up and down movement. carpometacarpal (thumb) is only one.  
🗑
Ball and Socket (spheroid)   synovial multiaxial movement flexion, extension, abduction,adduction, circumduction, rotation. Hip and shoulder  
🗑
Functional Classification   Synarthroses, amphiarthrosis, diarthroses  
🗑
synarthroses   immovable joint in functional classification system  
🗑
amphiarthroes   slightly movable joint in functional classification system  
🗑
diarthroses   freely movable joint in functional classification.  
🗑
Define closed fracture   Fracture that does not break through skin  
🗑
Displaced fracture   Serious fracture in which bones are not in an anatomic alignment  
🗑
Non displaced fracture   Fracture in which bones are in normal alignment  
🗑
Open fracture   Serious fracture in which bone projects through skin  
🗑
3 types of fibrous joints   syndesmosis, suture, gomphosis  
🗑
2 types cartilaginous joints   Symphysis, synchondrosis  
🗑
6 synovial joints   gliding, hinge, pivot, ellipsoid ,saddle, ball and socket  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
