Anatomy Exam 3 Chapter 8
Three planes
Correctly match the synovial joint to its range of motion: Multiaxial.
"Peg-in-socket" fibrous joint
Match the following joint type to its characteristic: Gomphosis.
Fibrous joint
Match the following: Bones united by collagen fibers.
Cruciate The knee's intracapsular ligaments are called cruciate ligaments because they cross each other, forming an X (cruci = cross) in the notch between the femoral condyles. They act as restraining straps to help prevent anterior-posterior displacement of the articular surfaces and to secure the articulating bones when we stand. Although these ligaments are in the joint capsule, they are outside the synovial cavity, and synovial membrane nearly covers their surfaces.
Which ligaments prevent backward displacement of the tibia or forward sliding of the femur?
Location of the joint The stability of a synovial joint depends chiefly on three factors: the shapes of the articular surfaces; the number and positioning of ligaments; and muscle tone not location of the joint.
Which of the following is not considered a primary factor influencing the stability of synovial joints?
syndesmosis
A ligamentous connection, such as that between the bones of the lower leg, is called a __________.
amphiarthrosis
A slightly movable joint is a(n) __________.
Reinforcing ligaments
Correctly match the description to the structure of synovial joints: Can be intracapsular or extracapsular.

Correctly match the description to the structure of synovial joints: Secreted into the joint cavity and contains hyaluronic acid.
Sprain Common sites of sprains are the ankle, the knee, and the lumbar region of the spine. Partially torn ligaments will repair themselves, but they heal slowly because ligaments are so poorly vascularized. Sprains tend to be painful and immobilizing.
Correctly match the term and definition: Ligaments reinforcing a joint are stretched or torn.
Adduction Adduction ("moving toward") is the opposite of abduction, so it is the movement of a limb toward the body midline or, in the case of the digits, toward the midline of the hand or foot.
Correctly match the term and definition: Movement of a limb toward the midline of the body in the frontal plane.
Rotation Rotation is the turning of a bone around its own long axis. It is the only movement allowed between the first two cervical vertebrae.
Correctly match the term and definition: Movement permitted by the atlantoaxial joint.

The term "nonaxial movement" means __________.
The jaw (TMJ) Dislocations of the jaw (TMJ) occur more readily than any other joint dislocation because of the shallow socket in the joint. Even a deep yawn can dislocate it. This joint almost always dislocates anteriorly, the condylar process of the mandible ending up in a skull region called the infratemporal fossa. In such cases, the mouth remains wide open.
This joint is more likely to dislocate than any other joint.
tendon of the long head of the biceps brachii
The "superstabilizer" of the shoulder joint is the __________.
bursitis of the prepatellar bursa Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa and is usually caused by a blow or friction. Falling on one's knee may result in a painful bursitis of the prepatellar bursa, known as housemaid's knee or water on the knee. Prolonged leaning on one's elbows may damage the bursa close to the olecranon, producing student's elbow, or olecranon bursitis.
"Water on the knee" is caused by __________.
Posterior cruciate ligaments
Correctly match the ligaments to their function: Prevent backward displacement of the tibia or forward sliding of the femur.
Anterior cruciate ligaments
Correctly match the ligaments to their function: Prevent forward sliding of the tibia and checks hyperextension of the knee

Correctly match the ligaments to their function: Prevent lateral or medial rotation when the knee is extended.
Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common chronic arthritis. A chronic degenerative condition, OA is often called "wear-and-tear arthritis." OA is most prevalent in the aged and is probably related to the normal aging process (although it is seen occasionally in younger people and some forms have a genetic basis). More women than men are affected, and nearly all of us will develop this condition by the age of 80.

Correctly match the term and definition: Displacement of a bone from its normal position at a joint.
Gouty arthritis
Correctly match the term and definition: Joint inflammation caused by the deposit of urate crystals in soft joint tissues.

Correctly match the term and definition: Movement of a limb away from the midline of the body.
Hyperextension
Correctly match the term and definition: Movement that increases the angle between two bones along the sagittal plane beyond the anatomical position.

Correctly match the term and definition: The movement of a body part forward in a transverse plane.
flexion Flexion is a bending movement, usually along the sagittal plane, that decreases the angle of the joint and brings the articulating bones closer together. Examples include bending the head forward on the chest and bending the body trunk or the knee from a straight to an angled position. As a less obvious example, the arm is flexed at the shoulder when the arm is lifted in an anterior direction.

bacteria transmitted by tick bites Lyme disease often results in joint pain and arthritis, especially in the knees, and is characterized by a skin rash, flu-like symptoms, and foggy thinking. If untreated, neurological disorders and irregular heartbeat may ensue. Because symptoms vary from person to person, the disease is hard to diagnose. Antibiotic therapy is the usual treatment, and works best when initiated soon after the initial infection.
Lyme disease is an inflammatory disease caused by __________.
Bony edges interlocked by short fibers Sutures, literally "seams," occur only between bones of the skull. The wavy articulating bone edges interlock, and the junction is completely filled by a minimal amount of very short connective tissue fibers that are continuous with the periosteum. The result is nearly rigid splices that knit the bones together, yet allow the skull to expand as the brain grows during youth.
Match the following joint type to its characteristic: Sutures.
Bones united mainly by fibrocartilage Since fibrocartilage is compressible and resilient, it acts as a shock absorber and permits a limited amount of movement at the joint. Even though fibrocartilage is the main element of a symphysis, hyaline cartilage is also present in the form of articular cartilages on the bony surfaces. Symphyses are amphiarthrotic joints designed for strength with flexibility. Examples include the intervertebral joints and the pubic symphysis of the pelvis.
Match the following joint type to its characteristic: Symphysis.
Bones united by plate of hyaline cartilage Virtually all synchondroses are synarthrotic (immovable). The most common examples of synchondroses are the epiphyseal plates in long bones of children. Epiphyseal plates are temporary joints and eventually become synostoses. Another example of a synchondrosis is the immovable joint between the costal cartilage of the first rib and the manubrium of the sternum.
Match the following joint type to its characteristic: Synchondrosis.
Synchondroses and symphyses In cartilaginous joints, the articulating bones are united by cartilage. Like fibrous joints, they lack a joint cavity and are not highly movable.
Match the following joint types: Cartilaginous.
Synovial joint
Match the following: Adjoining bones are covered with articular cartilage; a joint cavity is present.
Cartilaginous joint
Match the following: Bones united by cartilage.
the knee Of all body joints, the knees are most susceptible to sports injuries because of their high reliance on nonarticular factors for stability and the fact that they carry the body's weight. The knee can absorb a vertical force equal to nearly seven times body weight. However, it is very vulnerable to horizontal blows, such as those that occur during blocking and tackling in football and in ice hockey.
Of all body joints, what joint is most susceptible to sports injuries?
a type of arthritis, referred to as degenerative joint disease or "wear-and-tear arthritis"
Osteoarthritis is considered __________.
Diarthroses Diarthroses are freely movable joints that predominante in the appendicular skeleton (limbs).
Select the joint type that predominates in the appendicular skeleton.
a synchondrosis In a synchondrosis, bones are united by hyaline cartilage. The most common examples of synchondroses are the epiphyseal plates in long bones of children. Epiphyseal plates are temporary joints and eventually become synostoses. Another example of a synchondrosis is the immovable joint between the costal cartilage of the first rib and the manubrium of the sternum.
The epiphyseal growth plate is an example of __________.
Cartilaginous and amphiarthrosis
The hip bones join anteriorly at the pubic symphysis joint. During pregnancy, this joint loosens to provide a little movement. Select the correct classification of this joint.
shoulder
The joint that permits the greatest range of mobility of any joint in the body is the __________ joint.
stabilizes the posterior aspect of the knee joint The oblique popliteal ligament is part of the tendon of the semimembranosus muscle that fuses with the joint capsule and helps stabilize the posterior aspect of the knee joint.
The oblique popliteal ligament __________.
6% The capsules and ligaments of synovial joints unite the bones and prevent excessive or undesirable motion. As a rule, the more ligaments a joint has, the stronger it is. However, when other stabilizing factors are inadequate, undue tension is placed on the ligaments and they stretch. Stretched ligaments stay stretched, like taffy, and a ligament can stretch only about 6% of its length before it snaps. Thus, when ligaments are the major means of bracing a joint, the joint is not very stable.
To what percent of its length can a ligament be stretched and not snap?
A lateral force to the extended knee When thinking of common knee injuries, remember the 3 Cs: collateral ligaments, cruciate ligaments, and cartilages (menisci). Most dangerous are lateral blows to the extended knee. These forces tear the tibial collateral ligament and the medial meniscus attached to it, as well as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). It is estimated that 50% of all professional football players have serious knee injuries during their careers.
Which of the following forces to the knee would be the most dangerous?
Synovial joint Joints are classified by structure and by function. The structural classification focuses on the material binding the bones together and whether or not a joint cavity is present. Structurally, there are fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joints. Only synovial joints have a joint cavity.
