Primary Cartilaginous Joint and Bone Mechanics

Vocabulary flashcards covering bone classification, joint types, and surface mechanics from the Chapter 1 lecture notes.

Primary Cartilaginous Joint

A joint classification where the joint cartilage exists as a cardinal or cartilage plate.

Suture

A specific structural type of joint identified within joint classifications.

Radius

A specific bone cited as an example of bone classification based on shape and structure in limb anatomy.

Hinge Joint

A joint type characterized by its specific shape and structural movement along an axis.

Saddle Joint

A type of synovial joint that features saddle plate surfaces.

Socket Joint

A joint classification that provides movement along a joint axis.

Concave Surface

A curved internal joint surface shape that interfaces with a convex surface in joint mechanics.

Convex Surface

An rounded external joint surface shape that fits against a concave surface to allow directional movement.
