What is a joint?
A joint is formed where two or more bones meet and is classified as being one of the following:
- Synovial
- Fibrous
- Cartilaginous
At what angle (in normal anatomy) does the neck of the femur join the shaft?
The neck joins the shaft at an angle of approximately 125°.
Complete the labels on the following diagram:
- Greater trochanter
- Neck
- Fovea capitis
- Head
- Lesser trochanter
- IIntertrochanteric line
What separates the two condyles on the posterior surface of the distal femur
Interconylar fossa
Fibrous joints have a wide range of movement (True/False?)
False
These joints have virtually no movement. The bones are joined by fibrous tissues.
e.g. Sutures found only in the bones of the skull
Where in the vertebral column is there an absence of an intervertebral disc?
The intervertabral disc ar not found in the sacrum and coccyx, where the vertebrae have fused.
Neither are the found between the fist and second vertebrea
Describe the structure of an interverebral disc
- The anulus fibrosus attach the disc to the bodies of adjacent verebrae.
- The annulus surrounds a soft elastic and gelatinous core known as the cucleus pulpsous
- The nucleus pulposus gives the disc resilience and anables it to act as a shock absorber
