What are the basic structures a synovial joint has? Criteria.
- 1) Synovial cavity
- 2) Freely movable (diathroses)
- 3) Articular cartilage (avascular)
- -reduces friction
- -on surface of bone
- -absorbs shock
- 4) Articular capsule
- -surrounding joint
- -thickening in fibrous
- -capsule called ligament
- 5) Synovial Membrane
- -inner lining of capsule
- -secretes synovial fluid
- -brings nutrients to articular cartilage
-
What are the accessory structures of a synovial joint?
- 1) Accessory ligaments (ACL / PCL)
- 2) Articular disc and menisci (knee)
- 3) Bursae: fluid-filled saclike extension of the joint capsule, reduces friction
- 4) Tendon Shealth: tubelike bursae wrapped around tendon
