Chapter 8 Fibrous Joints Characteristics
are joint cavities present in fibrous joints?
no
suture
"seams"; occur only b/t bones of skull
symphyses mobility
amphiarthrosis / slightly movable
synchondroses example
b/t costal cartilage of firt rib and the manubrium of the sternum
syndemoses example
b/t tibia fibula
do fibrous joints move
most are immovable
gomphosis
peg-in-socket fibrous joint
sutures mobility
immovable
pivot synovial joint example
proximal radioulnar
syndemoses mobility
amphiarthrosis / slightly movable
synchondroses are made of what type of cartilage
hyaline
plane synovial joint examples
intertarsal, intercarpal joints
symphyses example
intervertebral joints pubic symphysis
the three types of fibrous joints
sutures syndesmoses gomphoses
suture example
sutures in skull
synostoses
bony junctions
syndesmoses
joints held together by a ligament; length of fibrous tissue can vary, but longer than sutures
gomphosis movement
synarthrosis / immovable
synchondroses mobility
synarthrotic / immovable
the two types of cartilaginous joints
synchondroses symphyses
condylar synovial joint example
b/t metacarpals & proximal phalanx
saddle synovial joint example
between tramezium and metatarsal 1
sutures
short fibers
fibrous joints
bones are joined by the collagen fibers of connective tissue
plane synovial joint movement
nonaxial; gliding
plane synovial joint articulating surface
flat or slightly curved
gomphosis example
articulation of a tooth w/in bony alveolar socket
in cartilaginous joints, bones are connected by what
cartilage
describe movement of syndemoses
depends on length of connecting fibers
hinge synovial joint articulating example
elbow; interphalangeal joints
symphyses are made of what kind of cartilage
fibrocartilage, with some hyaline
synovial joints have what kind of cavity
fluid-filled
gomphosis structural characteristic
periodontal ligament
types of synovial joints
plane hinge pivot condylar saddle ball and socket
ball and socket joint example
shoulder
symphyses designed for
strength with flexibility
