  8. A joint which has the following characteristics (uniaxial, transverse plane, longitudinal axis) would be called a(n) _______ joint.

    ellipsoidal
  10. A joint which has the following characteristics "biaxial, two convex bone surfaces" would be called a(n) ________ joint.
    saddle
  11. A joint which has the following characteristics "triaxial, one convex bone surface, one concave bone surface" would be called a(n) ______ joint.
    ball and socket
  12. Functionally, the elbow joint is a(n) _______ joint.
    hinge
  13. Functionally, the shoulder joints and the hip joints are ______ joints.

  15. Which of the following are characteristics of synovial joints?
    Structure of Synovial Joints

    • articular capsule
    • -sleeve of liamentous tissue
    • -forms a joint cavity

    • synovial membrane
    • -inner surface lining of the articular capsule
    • -secretes synovial fluid, which fills the joint cavity

    • Has two types of articular cartilage
    • -hyaline
    • -fibrocartilage

    • improves the bone-to-bone fit at the joint
    • -increasing the joint's stability
    • -reducing pressure when the joint is loaded

    • reduce friction and prevents wear
    • provide some shock absorption
  16. Which of the following are functions of synovial fluid?
    lubricant - reduces friction

    nutrient - nourishes the articular cartilage which has no blood supply

    cleanser

    hydrostatic shock absorber
  17. Which of the following are functions of articular cartilage?
    hyaline cartilage - thin layer of cartilage that covers the articulating ends of the bones

    fibrocartilage - disc or partial disc of fibrocartilage that separates the articulating surfaces of the bones (the bearing surfaces between the moving bones)
  18. Which of the following increase joint stability?
    Increasing Shear Stability

    bone-on-bone compression - increases friction

    reciprocal convex and concave shapes of the articulating ends of bones - tighter the bone-to-bone fit

    articular cartilage - improves bone-to-bone fit

    fibrocartilage - produce convex regions
  19. Which of the following is not a factor that affects joint flexibility (i.e., range of motion)?
    articulating bones - the shapes of the articulating bones may limit range of motion

    ligaments - shortening and/or twisting of ligaments can limit range of motion

    bulkiness of soft tissues - a person with larger muscles or large amounts of fatty tissue

    friction within the joint - any wearing or damage to the articular cartilage increases joint friction
