Term
Joint
Definition
"Articulation"; sites where two or more bones meet
Term
Joint Classification: Structure
Definition
Fibrous Joint, Cartilaginous Joint, Synovial Joint; binding material
Term
Joint Classification: Function
Definition
Synarthrosis, Amphiarthrosis, Diarthrosis; amount of movement
Term
Fibrous Joints
Definition
Amount of movement permitted depends on length of connective tissue fibers holding bones together; no joint cavity; based on structure
Term
Types of Fibrous Joints (3)
Definition
Suture, Syndesmosis, Gomphosis
Term
Suture
Definition
Fibrous joint; very short, dense fibers connecting bones; occurs only in skull; synarthrotic joints
Term
Syndesmosis
Definition
Fibrous joint; ligaments (fibrous tissues going from one bone to another) connect bones; either synarthrotic or amphiarthrotic joints; distal fibular tibial joint
Term
Gomphosis
Definition
Fibrous joint; peg-in-socket joint; only example is a tooth in alveolar process (periodontal ligaments); synarthrotic joint
Term
Cartilaginous Joints
Definition
Bones joined together by cartilage; no joint cavity; based on structure
Term
Types of Cartilaginous Joints (2)
Definition
Synchondrosis, Symphysis
Term
Synchondrosis
Definition
Cartilaginous joint; bar or plate of hyaline cartilage joins bones; synarthrotic joints; epiphyseal plate, joint b/t ribs and sternum
Term
Symphysis
Definition
Cartilaginous joint; pad or plate of fibrocartilage between bones; amphiarthrotic joints; joints between bodies of vertebra, pubic symphysis; good shock absorber (retains water)
Term
Synovial Joint
Definition
Articular cartilage (hyaline, on bones), joint/synovial cavity, articular capsule; synovial fluid, reinforcing ligaments; based on structure; ALL diarthrotic
Term
Articular Capsule
Definition
Part of synovial joint; surrounds capsule containing synovial fluid; 2 parts:
1. Fibrous Capsule (dense outer portion)
2. Synovial Membrane (delicate, produces synovial fluid)
Term
Types of Synovial Joints (6)
Definition
Plane Joints, Hinge Joints, Pivot Joints, Condyloid Joints, Saddle Joints, Ball-and-Socket Joints; based on structure; defines movement
Term
Plane Joint
Definition
Synovial joint; simplest; two flat surfaces glide over each other; TRANSLATION; intercarpal/tarsal joints, vertebral column
Term
Hinge Joint
Definition
Synovial joint; cylindrical projection moving into trough-like depression; elbow, interphalangeal; FLEXION and EXTENSION
Term
Pivot Joint
Definition
Synovial joint; rounded end moving inside sleeve or ring (bone or ligament); ROTATION (no movement of head); atlantoaxial joint, proximal radioulnar joint
Term
Condyloid Joints
Definition
Synovial joint; oval articular surface move in depression of another; angular motion, FLEXION, EXTENSION, ABDUCTION, ADDUCTION, CIRCUMDUCTION; wrist joint, metacarpo/tarsophalangeal joints
Term
Saddle Joints
Definition
Synovial joint; like condyloid joint, more movement; concave and convex portion; carpometacarpal joint of the thumb; OPPOSITION (only joint, tip of thumb to fingertips), FLEXION, EXTENSION, ABDUCTION, ADDUCTION, CIRCUMDUCTION
Term
Ball-and-Socket Joints
Definition
Synovial joint; spherical moves into cup; most freely movable; universal motion; shoulder and hip joints
