Study Notes
Types of Joints
- Joints between cranial bones are classified as fibrous joints.
- Fibrous joints are held together by fibrous connective tissue.
- Synarthrodial joints exhibit little to no movement.
- Joints found in the metaphyseal area are known as epiphyseal joints.
- Cartilaginous joints are held together by cartilage.
- Synarthrodial joints are joints that allow no movement.
- Synovial joints are characterized by a high degree of movement and are crucial for mobility.
- Joints between the ulna and radius or between the fibula and tibia are classified as syndesmoses.
- Temporary joints, such as those in growth plates, are often symphyses.
- Joints allowing for flexion/extension and adduction/abduction include hinge joints and ball-and-socket joints.
Functions and Components of Joints
- Ligaments provide stability to joints by connecting bones and restricting excessive movement.
- Extracapsular ligaments are located outside the joint capsule, providing additional support.
- Synovial fluid lubricates synovial joints and reduces friction during movement.
- Intra-articular discs are found within certain synovial joints, helping to cushion and stabilize.
- The tendon sheath protects tendons and reduces friction, filled with synovial fluid.
- Superficial fascia supports and provides cushioning between skin and underlying structures.
Muscle Tissues and Functions
- Smooth muscle tissue is located in the walls of organs and is involuntary.
- The primary function of skeletal muscle tissue is to facilitate movement through voluntary contraction.
- The direction of muscle pull is determined by the arrangement and attachment points of the muscle fibers.
- The antagonist muscle opposes the action of the agonist muscle, helping control movement.
- Tendons connect muscles to bones, transmitting the force generated by muscle contractions.
Nervous System and Motor Functions
- A motor nerve transmits signals from the nervous system to muscles, initiating movement.
- A spinal nerve refers to nerves that emerge from the spinal cord and innervate various body regions.
- Cranial nerves primarily innervate structures in the head and neck, affecting various functions.
Joint Classifications and Degrees of Freedom
- Pivot joints and condyloid joints both offer one degree of freedom of movement.
- Ball and socket joints are classified as multi-axial joints, allowing movement in multiple axes.
- Intervertebral disks exemplify cartilaginous joints due to their fibrocartilage structure.
- Primary cartilaginous joints (symphysis) are connected by fibrocartilage, allowing slight movement.
Additional Facts
- Tendon sheaths filled with synovial fluid support tendons, preventing friction and wear during movement.
