1) List the three structural categories of joints and briefly describe the criteria used for structural classification of joints.

Answer:

Difficulty: Medium

Study Objective 1: SO 9.1 Describe the structural and functional classifications of joints.

Section Reference 1: Sec 9.1 Joint Classifications

Solution: The structural types of joints include: 1) fibrous joints, 2) cartilaginous joints, and 3) synovial joints. Joints can be classified structurally based on two criteria: 1) the presence or absence of a space between the articulating bones, called a synovial cavity and 2) the type of connective tissue that binds the bones together.

Question type: Multiple Choice

2) Which of the following types of joints lacks a joint cavity and is held together by a fibrous connective tissue?
1. Fibrous joints
2. Cartilaginous joints
3. Synovial joints

1. a) 1 only
2. b) 2 only
3. c) 3 only
4. d) 1 and 2
5. e) All of these choices

1. Fibrous joints
2. Cartilaginous joints
3. Synovial joints

1. a) 1 only
2. b) 2 only
3. c) 3 only

4) List the three functional classifications of joints, and briefly describe the basis for the functional classification of joints.

Answer:

Difficulty: Medium

Study Objective 1: SO 9.1 Describe the structural and functional classifications of joints.

Section Reference 1: Sec 9.1 Joint Classifications

Solution: The functional classification joint is based on the degree of movement that they allow. The three functional classes are: 1) synarthroses, which are totally immovable, 2) amphiarthroses, which have slight movement, and 3) diarthroses, which are freely moveable joints.

Question type: Multiple Choice

5) Which functional class of joints contains joints that are freely movable?
1. Synarthrosis
2. Amphiarthrosis
3. Diarthrosis

1. a) 1 only
2. b) 2 only
3. c) 3 only
4. d) Both 2 and 3
5. e) All of these choices

Answer: c
