Term
clavicle - acromial end
Definition
  • Broader, horizontally flat

Term
Joints can be classified by their freedom of movement
Definition
Synarthrosis: little or no movement
Amphiarthrosis: slightly movable
Diarthrosis: freely movable
Term
bones can be identified by physical nature
Definition
Fibrous: collagen fibers spanning the space between bones
Cartilaginous: 2 bones bound to each other by cartilage
Synovial: bones held together by joint capsule filled with synovial fluid
Term
Synarthrotic Joints definition
Definition
No movement between bones
Term

synarthortic joints types

Definition


Suture
Gomphosis
Synchondrosisbones

Term
suture
Definition

Fibrous joint
Ex: adjacent bones in the cranium

 

Term
Gomphosis
Definition
Fibrous joint
Ex: teeth in sockets of mandible or maxilla
Term
Synchondrosis
Definition
Hyaline cartilaginous joint
Ex: joint between epiphyses and diaphyses of growing bones
Term
Synostosis
Definition
occurs when two bones fuse and the joint becomes a bony joint
Ossification occurs with age between some cranial sutures and epiphyses and diaphyses of the long bones
Term
Amphiarthotic Joints definition
Definition
has limited range of motion
Term
Amphiarthotic Joints - types
Definition

Syndesmosis(most movable)

Synchondrosis

Symphysis (least movable)

Term
Syndesmosis (most movable)
Definition
Syndesmosis (most movable)
Fibrous joint – 2 bones bound by ligament only
Ex: Distal radius and ulna or distal tibia and fibula
Term
Synchondrosis

Definition

Bones are bound by hyaline cartilage
Ex: Rib attachment to sternum by costal cartilage
Term
Symphysis (least movable)

Definition

Bones are joined by fibrocartilage
Ex: Pubic symphysis
Term
Diarthrotic Joints definition
Definition
All diarthrotic joints are synovial joints
Synovial joint: joint in which two bones are separated by a space called a joint cavity
Most are freely movable
Term
types of diarthrotic joints
Definition
Gliding
Hinge
Pivot
Condyloid
Saddle
Ball-and-socket
Term
Gliding
Definition
Flat articular surfaces in which bones slide over each other
Term
Hinge
Definition
One bone with convex surface that fits into a concave depression on other bone
Term
Pivot:
Definition
One bone has a projection that fits into a ringlike ligament of another
Term
Condyloid
Definition
Oval convex surface on
    one bone fits into a similarly shaped
    depression on the next
Term
Saddle
Definition
Each articular surface is
    shaped like a saddle, concave in
    one direction and convex in the other
Term
Ball-and-socket
Definition
Smooth hemispherical
    head fits within a cuplike depression
