Articulations

Question 1

Synarthroses

Answer 1

Immovable joints- sutures

Question 2

Amphiarthroses

Answer 2

Joints that allow some movement - pubic symphisis, spine

Question 3

Diarthroses

Answer 3

Freely movable joints- shoulder

Question 4

Fibrous joints

Answer 4

Bones joined by short connective tissue fibers. Most are synarthroses.

Question 5

Cartilaginous joints

Answer 5

Bones United by cartilage rather than fibrosis connective tissue. Most are amphiarthroses

Question 6

Synostosis

Answer 6

Joint formed when the epiphyseal plate ossifies

Question 7

Sychondroses

Answer 7

Joints that continue to contain hyaline cartilage ate their articulations - ribs

Question 8

Syntheses

Answer 8

Joints with fibrocartilage - pubic symphysis and vertebral discs

Question 9

Synovial joint

Answer 9

Joints that have a true joint cavity

Consists of 2 bones whose ends articular ends are covered with hyaline cartilage

Question 10

Synovial membrane

Answer 10

Membrane in a synovial joint that secretes watery fluid (synovial fluid)

Question 11

Articular Discs or Menisci

Answer 11

Fibrocartilage pads that improve the fit of 2 bones to prevent dislocation

Question 12

Bursae

Answer 12

Fluid filled sacs often located between tendons and joints to reduce fiction

Question 13

Nonaxial joints

Answer 13

a joint that does not move around an axis, instead the bones glide past one another. ex: costovertebral joint

Question 14

Uniaxial joint

Answer 14

Joint that allows movement on only one plane of direction. ex: elbow allows only for extension and flexion

Question 15

Biaxial joints

Answer 15

Joints that allow from movement on 2 planes of direction. ex: wrist allows for flexion/extension and abduction/adduction

Question 16

Multiaxail joints

Answer 16

Joints that allow for movement on multiple planes of direction. Joints with the greatest ROM ex: shoulder extension/flexion, abduction/adduction, and rotation

Question 17

Synovial Plane Joint

Answer 17

Joint where the bones glide across one another. ex: intercarpal joint

Question 18

Synovial Condyloid joint

Answer 18

Joints where one bone that fits into the concave surface of another bone. ex: metacarpophalangeal joints)

Question 19

Synovial Saddle joint

Answer 19

Joints similar to condyloid joints, but allows for greater range of motion. ex: carpometacarpal joint

Question 20

Synovial Hinge joint

Answer 20

Joints where bones fit together like hinge of a door. The convex articular surface of one bone fits into the concave articular surface of the other. ex: elbow joint

Question 21

Pivot Joint

Answer 21

Joints where one bone rotates around another. ex: proximal radioulnar joint.
