NURG 533 Patho Module 11: Musculoskeletal
1. Name the three classifications of joints based on movement. Synarthrosis (immovable joint), amphiarthrosis
(slightly movable joint), and diarthrosis (freely movable joint).: Synarthrosis, amphiarthrosis, and diarthrosis.
2. Immovable joints are called: synarthroses
3. Slightly moveable joints are called: amphiarthroses
4. Freely moveable joints are called: diarthroses
5. Name the three classifications of joints based on connective tissues and give an example of each.: Fibrous:
sutures of the skull
Cartilaginous: symphysis pubis and the intervertebral disks, joints between ribs and sternum
Synovial: articular knee joint
6. are the most movable and the most complex joints in the body. Has the following parts: (1) a fibrous joint
capsule (articular capsule) (2) a synovial membrane that lines the inner surface of the joint capsule (3) a joint
cavity (synovial cavity) , a space formed by the capsule (4) synovial fluid, which fills the joint cavity and lubricates
the joint surface (5) articular cartilage, which covers and pads the articulating bony surfaces.: Synovial joint
7. two types: symphysis (a joint in which bones are united by a pad or disk of fibrocartilage. A thin layer of
hyaline cartilage usually covers the articular surface of the two bones and the thick pad of fibrocartilage acts as a
shock absorber and stabilizer (the symphysis pubis and the intervertebral disks) a synchondrosis is a joint in
which hyaline cartilage, rather than fibrocartilage, connects the two bones (the joints between the ribs and the
sternum) The hyaline cartilage of these joints is called costal cartilage.: cartilaginous joint
8. a joint in which bone is united directly to bone by fibrous connective tissue. Generally they are synarthrosis,
but many allow for some movement. Three types: Sutures (such as in flat bones of skull) Syndesmosis (two bones
joined by a ligament or membrane such as in the paired bones of the tibia and fibula or the radius and ulna) and
Gomphosis (a conical projection fits into
a complementary socket (as the teeth in the mandible).: fibrous joint
9. What separates the epiphysis and the metaphysis in a child?: The cartilagi- nous growth plate aka epiphyseal
plate.
10.What is the role of ATP?: ATP is created from the chemical energy contained in organic molecules
(carbohydrates, lipid, and protein).
ATP is used in the synthesis of organic molecules, muscle contraction, and active transport.. Storage and transport of
energy.
