Synarthrotic

A type of joint that allows little to no movement.

2
New cards

Amphiarthrotic

A type of joint that allows slight movement.

3
New cards

Diarthrotic

A type of joint that allows free or full movement.

4
New cards

Fibrous Joints

Joints connected by collagen fibers typically allowing no movement.

5
New cards

Cartilaginous Joints

Joints connected by cartilage, allowing slight movement.

6
New cards

Synovial Joints

Joints characterized by a joint capsule, cartilage, and synovial fluid that allow free movement.

7
New cards

Hyaline Cartilage

The type of cartilage that is smooth and covers the ends of bones in synovial joints.

8
New cards

Fibrocartilage

Denser, stronger cartilage found in joints that require more stability, such as the menisci and labrum.

9
New cards

Articular Disc

A disc of fibrocartilage found in some synovial joints that improves stability and reduces friction.

10
New cards

Meniscus

Crescent-shaped fibrocartilage discs in the knee that provide cushioning and stability.

11
New cards

Labrum

A rim of fibrocartilage that deepens the socket in the shoulder and hip joints.

12
New cards

Bursa

Fluid-filled sacs that cushion tendons and reduce friction where they cross bones.

13
New cards

Tendon Sheath

A tube-like structure that surrounds tendons, providing lubrication and reducing friction.

14
New cards

Condylar Joint

A joint where the convex surface of one bone fits into the concave surface of another, allowing movement in two planes.

15
New cards

Pivot Joint

A joint that allows for rotational movement around a single axis, such as at the neck.

16
New cards

Hinge Joint

A joint that allows movement in one plane, like an elbow or knee.

17
New cards

Ball and Socket Joint

A joint where a spherical head of one bone fits into a cup-like socket of another bone, allowing multi-directional movement.

18
New cards

Synostosis

A bony joint formed by the fusion of two bones, offering no movement.

19
New cards

Osteoarthritis

A degenerative joint disease characterized by the loss of hyaline cartilage, commonly leading to stiffness and pain.

20
New cards

Rheumatoid Arthritis

An autoimmune inflammatory disorder that affects joints, causing pain, swelling, and potential joint deformation.
