Document Summary
Chp 2 skeletal system- joints: explain the classification of the joints from anatomical and functional points of view. Articulation/ joint: site in which 2 or more bones/ cartilages meet each other. Classified based on their structure (anatomical)/ range of motion (functional: structural: synovial, solid categories. Presence/ absence of joint cavity: range of motion: Synarthrosis (immovable: define the different types of the solid joints. Classified as fibrous or cartilaginous: connective tissue: dense connective tissue/ cartilage, either amphiarthrosis or synarthrosis. In fibrous joints: bones linked by connective tissue. Sutures: between bones of skull intervening ligament, periodontal ligament. In cartilaginous joints: bones tightly linked by cartilage. Symphyses: fibrocartilage disc connected bones ie. pubic symphysis. Symphyses: fibrocartilage disc connected bones ie. pubic symphysis ie. intervertebral disc: explain the major characteristics of a typical synovial joint. Main characteristic: presence of cavity between bones. Early life years, bones held by thin layer of connective tissue, then later replaced by bony tissue.
