no joint cavities present |
|
|
Term
|

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| bones are separated by a fluid filled joint cavity (diarthrotic) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
bones interlock and contain minimal amount of dense regular connective tissue
synarthrotic
ex: skull |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
bones are connected by a cord or band of dense regular connective tissue (ligament)
synarthrotic or amphiarthrotic
ex: distal ligament connecting tibia and fibula (syn)
interosseus membrane (amp.) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
"peg" held in socket by minimal amount of dense regular connective tissue
synarthrotic
ex: teeth in bony sockets of jaw |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
bones connected by bar or plate of hyaline cartilage connective tissue
synarthrotic
ex: first rib and manubrium of sternum
epiphyseal plate |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
pad of fibrocartilage between bones
amphiarthrotic
ex: intevertebral joints (b/t body of vertebra) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
hyaline cartilage connective tissue covers surface of bones that meet
prevents ends of bones from being crushed |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
small space between bones
filled with viscous synovial fluid
reduces friction, resists compression, and allows wide range of motion |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
double-layered membrane enclosing joint
composed of outer fibrous capsule and inner synovial membrane |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| dense irregular connective tissue continuous with outer layer of periosteum |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
dense regular connective tissue
reinforces joint and attaches bone to bone
covers outside of all structures
prevents excess or undesirable movements |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
dense regular connective tissue, attaches muscle to bone
crossing a joint assists in stabilizing joint |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
flat sac filled with synovial fluid (inner lining is synovial membrane)
reduces friction
common where ligaments, muscles, skin, tendons, or bones rub together |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
elongated bursa.
completely surrounds a tendon
eases movement and reduces friction |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
pad of fibrocartilage
located between articular surface of two bones
in joint cavity
absorbs shock, improves fit between articulating bones |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| body movements occur when a muscle contracts (shortens) across a ________ joint |
|
|
Term
| subtypes of synovial joints are based on shape of articulating bones and type of movement allowed |
