Joint - a flexible junction between two bones
Give an example of a fibrous joint
Suture joint in the skill
Pubic Symphesis
Shoulder joint
Fibrous joints are made of dense, irregular connective tissue
Cartilaginous joints (i.e Pubic Symphesis) are what?
Bars of cartilage between bones
Joints for circumduction
Joints between two irregular bones
What's the difference between the two types of Cartilaginous Joints
Primary- No movement Secondary- Slight movement/shock absorption
Primary- Slight movement/shock absorption Secondary- No movement
What's the role of the Synovial membrane?
Secretes synovial fluid
Holds joint together
Provides bone strength
The synovial membrane is found inside the fibrous membrane
The synovial cavity lies within the synovial membrane
Plane synovial joints are usually
Uniaxial
Biaxial
Triaxial
In a plane synovial joint, the articulating surface isn't flat
The bones in the hand are plane synovial joints
Condyloid joints allow roation in how many axis?
1
2
3
The radial/ulnar joint is an example of a saddle joint
Saddle joints are so called because the articular surface of the bone is saddle shaped
Saddle joints have a range of 2 axis
