1
Q

What is a simple synovial joint (diarthrosis)?

A

Only one pair of articulating surfaces are observed

2
Q

What is a compound synovial joint (diarthrosis)?

A

More than two articulating surfaces are present in the same synovial joint

3
Q

What is a complex synovial joint (diarthrosis)?

A

Within the simple joint or the compound joint, the articulating surfaces are separated by an articular disc (intra-articular disc) or meniscus

4
Q

What morphological classification of synovial joints is classified as nonaxial?

A

Plane (diartrhosis arthrodial)

5
Q

What morphological classifications of synovial joints would be classified as uniaxial?

A

Hinge (diarthrosis ginglymus) and pivot (diarthrosis trochoid)

6
Q

What morphological classifications of synovial joints would be classified as biaxial?

A

(Diarthrosis) bicondylar, (diarthrosis) condylar, (diarthrosis) ellipsoidal, and saddle (diarthrosis sellar)

7
Q

What morphological classification of synovial joints would be classified as multiaxial?

A

Ball and socket (diarthrosis enarthrosis), (diarthrosis spheroidal), (diarthrosis cotyloid) are all classifications given to the same type of joint

8
Q

What are examples of synovial plane (diarthrosis arthrodial) joints?

A

Most zygapophyses of the vertebral column intercarpal, carpometacarpal and intermetacarpal joints of the hand intercuneiform, tarsometatarsal and intermetatarsal joints of the foot

9
Q

What are examples of synovial hinge (diarthrosis ginglymus) joints?

A

Humero-ulnar joint of the elbow and interphalangeal joints of the fingers and toes

10
Q

What are the examples of synovial pivot (diarthrosis trochoid) joints

A

Median atlanto-axial joint and proximal radio-ulnar joint

11
Q

What are examples of diarthrosis bicondylar joints?

A

Temporomandibular joint and femur-tibia joint of the knee

12
Q

What are examples of diarthrosis ellipsoidal joints?

A

Radiocarpal joint of the wrist, metacarpo-phalangeal joints of the hand, metatarsal-phalangeal joints of the foot and the atlanto-occipital joint of the vertebral column

13
Q

Which synovial joint classifications are now often interchanged in textbooks?

A

Ellipsoidal and condylar synovial joints

14
Q

What are examples of synovial saddle (diarthrosis sellar) joints?

A

Carpometacarpal joint of the thumb, talocrural joint of the ankle and the calcaneocuboid joint of the foot

15
Q

What are examples of diarthrosis enarthrosis joints?

A

Femur-acetabulum of the innominate articulation at the hip and the humerus-glenoid cavity of the scapula articulation at the shoulder
