Honors Anatomy & Physiology
2
Joints contribute to homeostasis by holding bones together in ways that allow movement & flexibility
3
aka: “articulation” or “arthrosis” a point of contact between 2 bones, a bone & cartilage, or between a bone & tooth
4
1. structural classification based on anatomical characteristics Fibrous joints Cartilagenous joints Synovial joints 2. functional classification based on type of movement they permit Synarthrosis Amphiarthrosis Diarthrosis
5
Articulating bones held very closely together by fibrous CT 3 types: 1. Sutures skull bones 2. Syndesmoses interosseous membrane 3. Gomphoses dentoalveolar joint
7
allows little or no movement bones are tightly connected by either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage 2 types: 1. Synchondoses hyaline cartilage connects bones epiphyseal plate 2. Symphyses fibrocartilage connects bone pubic symphysis
9
distinguishing characteristics: synovial joint cavity filled with synovial fluid bones covered by articular cartilage reduces friction
11
secreted by synovial membrane viscous, clear, pale yellow fluid forms film over surfaces w/in articular capsule functions: 1. reduce friction 2. absorbing shocks 3. supporting chondrocytes in w/in articular cartilage
12
cracking sounds heard as joints move or popping sounds people make when the “crack” their knuckles explanation: When synovial cavity expands creates partial vacuum suction from that draws CO 2 & O 2 out of blood vessels in synovial membrane form bubbles in synovial fluid bubbles pop
13
a forcible wrenching or twisting of a joint that stretches or tears ligaments but does not dislocate the bones occurs when ligaments are stressed beyond their capacity may have associated damage to surrounding blood vessels, muscles, tendons, or nerves
14
stretched or partially torn muscle often due to muscle contracting suddenly & powerfully
15
saclike structures situated to alleviate friction in some joints filled with fluid similar to synovial fluid located between: skin & bones tendons & bones muscles & bones ligaments & bones
17
inflammation of a bursa usually caused by irritation from repeated, excessive exertion of a joint or by: trauma, infection (syphilis or TB), RA symptoms: pain, swelling, tenderness, limited movement
19
1. Gliding relatively flat surfaces move back-and-forth & side-to-side
20
2. flexion/extension/ hyperextension: opposite movements flexion: decrease in angle between articulating bones extension: increase in angle between articulating bones hyperextension: continuation of extension beyond the anatomical position
22
3. abduction/adduction/ circumduction abduction: movement of bone away from midline adduction: movement of bone toward midline circumduction: movement of distal end of a body part in a circle
24
4. elevation/depression: elevation: upward movement of part of body (closing mouth, shrugging shoulders) depression: downward movement of part of body (opening mouth, returning elevated shrugged shoulders to anatomical position)
26
5. protraction/retraction protraction: movement of part of body anteriorly in transverse plane retraction: returning a protracted part of body to anatomical position
28
6. inversion/ eversion inversion: movement of soles medially @ intertarsal joints (soles face each other) eversion: movement of soles laterally @ intertarsal joints
30
7. dorsiflexion/ plantar flexion dorsiflexion: bending foot @ ankle in direction of dorsum (superior surface) plantar flexion: bending foot @ ankle in direction of plantar surface
32
8. supination/pronation supination: movement of forearm in which palm is turned anteriorly pronation: movement of forearm in which distal end of radius crosses over distal end ulna & palm is turned posteriorly
34
9. opposition movement of thumb in which thumb moves across palm to touch tips of the fingers on same hand
37
ball-like surface of one bone fits into a cuplike depression of another bone permits movement around 3 axis + all directions in between flexion extension abduction adduction circumduction rotation
40
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) autoimmune disease: immune system attacks joint linings characterized by: inflammation of joint swelling, pain, loss of function usually bilateral joints involved but may not be to same degree
42
arthralgia: pain in a joint subluxation: partial or incomplete dislocation of a joint
