  1. Any point where two bones meet
    joint
  2. Study of musculoskeletal movement
    Kinesiology
  3. Four major categories of joints:
    • 1. Bony
    • 2. Fibrous
    • 3. Cartilaginous
    • 4. Synovial
  4. Immovable joint formed when two bones ossify and become one
    Bony
  5. Point at which adjacent bones are bound by collagen fibers that emerge from one bone, cross the space between them, and penetrate into another:
    Fibrous Joint (synarthrosis)
  6. Three kinds of fibrous joints:
    • 1. Sutures
    • 2. Gomophoses
    • 3. Syndesmoses
  7. Slightly movable fibrous joint that joins skull bones together, occur nowhere else
    Suture
  8. Joint where teeth attach to their socket
    Gomphosis
  9. Joint at which two bones are bound by relatively long collagenous fibers
    Syndesmosis
  10. Two bones linked by cartilage is what kind of joint:
    Cartilaginous
  11. Two types of cartilaginous joints
    synchondrosis and symphyses
  12. Joint where bones are joined by hyaline cartilage
    Synchondrosis
  13. Joint where two bones are joined by fibrocartilage
    Symphysis
  14. Most familiar type of joint:
    Synovial (diarthrosis)
  15. Joint most common for forming uncomfortable and crippling dysfunctions
    Synovial
  16. Freely movable joint
    Synovial
  17. Layer of hyaline cartilage in synovial joints
    Articular cartilage
  18. Slippery lubricant in synovial joint cavities
    synovial fluid
  19. ________ _____ is warmed by exercise; where cartilage then swells and provides more effective cushion against compression.
    Synovial Fluid
  20. Crescent shaped pad
    Meniscus
  21. Absorb shock and pressure, guide bones across one another, improve fit between bones, and stabilizes the joint, reducing risk of dislocation
    Meniscus
  22. Collagenous connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone
    tendon
  23. Collagenous connective tissue that connects bone to bone
    Ligament
  24. Fibrous sac filled with synovial fluid
    bursa
  25. Elongated cylindrical bursae wrapped around a tendon, enabling tendons to move back and forth freely in tight spaces
    Tendon sheaths
  26. Measures Range of Motion
    Goniometer
  27. The degrees at which joints can move
    Range of Motion
  28. Shoulder joint has _ degrees of freedom:
    • -3-
    • Multiaxial (passes through three anatomical planes)
    • Monaxial (Passes through one anatomical plane)
    • Biaxial (Passes through two anatomical planes)
  29. Monaxial joint, like a door hinge
