What is a synostosis joint
An immobile joint formed when the gap between two bones join together and become a single bone.

what are examples of a synostosis joint
Mandibular bones, cranial sutures, epiphyses with diaphysis, first rib to sternum

What is a diarthrosis (synovial joint)
A point where two bones are separated by a narrow, encapsulated space filled with lubricating synovial fluid; most such joints are relatively mobile. Freely moveable to limited

What are examples of diarthosis/synovial joints
Elbow
Knee
Knuckles

What is a fibrous joint/synarthosis/synathrodial
A point at which adjacent bones are bound by collagen fibers that emerge from the matrix of one bone, cross the space between them, and penetrate into the matrix of the other.

What are examples of fibrous/ synarthosis/synathrodial joints?
Sutures
Gomphoses
Syndesmoses

what kind of movement does sutures have
Immobile joint or slightly moveable

What kind of movement does gomphoses have
Some movement due to stress of chewing

What kind of movement does syndesmoses have
Limited mobility

What is a ball-and-socket joint
Multiaxial diarthosis in which a smooth hemispherical head of one bone fits into a cuplike depression of another

What are examples of ball-and-socket joints
Shoulder and hip joints

What are condylar joints
Biaxial diarthosis I which anoval convex surface of one bone articulates with an elliptical depression of another

Examples of condylar joints
Radiocarpal and metacarpophanangeal joints

What are saddle joints
Joints in which each bone surface is saddle-shaped

Examples of saddle joints
Trapeziometacarpal and sternoclavicular joints

What are plane joints
Usually biaxial diarthroses with slightly concave or convex bone surfaces that slide across each other

Examples of plane joints
Intercarpal and intertarsal joints; joints between the articular process of the vertebrae

What are hinge joints
Monaxial diarthrosis, able to flex and extend in only one place

Examples of hinge joints
Elbow, knee, and interphalangeal joints

What are pivot joints
Joint in which a projection of one bone fits into a ringlike of another, allowing one bone to rotate on its longitudinal axis

Examples of pivot joints
Atlantoaxial joint and proximal radiolnar joint

What are symphasis joints
Slightly moveable joint held together by fibrocartilage

Examples of symphasis joints
Intervertebral discs and pubic symphasis

Most common form of arthritis
Crepitus- crunching and cracking sounds of joints

Give a bit information about Rheumatoid arthritis
Autoimmune disease
Attacks the synovial membrane
Ossification of degenerated cartilage
No cure

What is ankylosis
When bones solidly fuse together

Define orthopedic
The branch of medicine that deals with the prevention and correction of injuries and disorders of the bones

Define kinesiology
Study of musculoskeletal movement

Define meniscus
Does not cross entire capsule (injury of the knee) (c shaped disc that cushions your knee)

Define tendons
Attach muscle to bone

Define ligaments
Attach bone to bone

Define Bursa
Sac of synovial fluid. Between muscle/ tendon and bone/skin. Tendon sheaths.

Example of synchondrosis joint
Articulation of rib 1with sternum, and epiphyseal plate uniting with epiphysis and diaphysis of a long bone of a child

What is an injured tendon/ligament called?
Sprain

What is an injured muscle called?
Strain
Tendon is an important stabilizer of the shoulder joint

What are the most common injuries to the knee joint?
Meniscus and ACL

What is endomysium
A thin sleeve of loose connective tissue that surrounds each muscle fiber

What is perimysium
A thicker connective tissue sheath that wraps muscle fibers together in
