|
Definition
| structural and functional |
|
|
Term
| structural classification: joints are named according to what classification? |

|
|
Term
| fibrous joints (synarthroses) |
|
Definition
| bones of joints fit together closely, thereby allowing little or no movement |
|
|
Term
| 3 types of fibrous joints |
|
Definition
| syndesmoses, sutures, gomphoses |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| found only in the skull; teeth-like projections from adjacent bones interlock with each other |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| between the root of a tooth and the alveolar process of the mandible or maxilla |
|
|
Term
| Cartilaginous joints (amphiarthroses) |
|
Definition
| bones of joints are joined together by hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage; allow very little motion |
|
|
Term
| two types of Cartilaginous joints |
|
Definition
| synchondroses (between ribs), symphyses (spine and pubic) |
|
|
Term
| synovial joints (diarthroses) |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| 7 structures of synovial joints |
|
Definition
| joint capsule, synovial membrane, articular cartilage, joint cavity, menisci, ligaments, bursae |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| sleeve-like casing around the ends of the bones that binds them together |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| small space between the articulating surfaces of the two bones of the joint |
|
|
Term
| menisci (articular disks) |
|
Definition
| pads of fibrocartilage located between articulating bones |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| synovial membranes filled with synovial fluid; cushion joints and facilitate movement of tendons |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| connect bone to bone: strong cords of dense, white, fibrous tissue that hold the bones of a synovial joint more firmly together |
|
|
Term
| three types of synovial joints |
|
Definition
| uniaxial, biaxial, multiaxial |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| permit movement around only one axis and only one plane |
|
|
Term
| 2 types of uniaxial joints |
|
Definition
| hinge joints, pivot joints |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a projection of one bone articulates with a ring or notch of another bone |
|
|
Term
| 2 types of biaxial joints |
|
Definition
| saddle joint, condyloid (ellipsoidal) joints |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| synovial joints in which the articulating ends of the bones resemble reciprocally shaped miniature saddles; only example is the thumb |
|
|
Term
| condyloid (ellipsoidal) joints |
|
Definition
| synovial joints in which a condyle fits into an elliptical socket |
|
|
Term
| two types of multiaxial joints |
|
Definition
| ball and socket, gliding joints |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| (spheroid) joints: most moveable joints; the ball-shaped head of one bone fits into a concave depression |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| relatively flat articulating surfaces that allow limited gliding movements along various axes. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| in the elbow, example of synovial joint, lateral articulation of the capitulum of the humerus with the head of the radius (cap on head) |
|
