What kind of joint is slightly movable and is held together by fibrous connective tissue?
fibrous synchondrosis
What are the two types cartiliginous joints?
Types of cartiliginous joints: Synchondrosis Symphysis Synchondrosis joint has bands of hyaline cartilage which unite bones and an epiphyseal plate (temporary). For example between manubrium and first rib (synarthrotic). Symphysis joint has a pad of fibrocartilage between bones. For example the pubis symphysis and the joint between bodies of vertebrae. (amphiarthrotic).
Is increasing osmotic pressure within joint a function of synovial fluid?
No, increasing osmotic pressure within a joint is not a function of synovial fluid. Osmotic pressure is the force that drives the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane, and it is determined by solute concentration. The synovial fluid's main function is to lubricate and nourish the joint, not to influence osmotic pressure.
What is acromioclavicular joint degenerative change with marrow edema involving clavicle at the joint mean?
I think acromioclavicula joint degenerative change with marrow edema involving clavicle of the joint means ---the AC joint shows signs of artritis with swelling/inflammation of the Clavicle joint itself. The acromio + clavicula are actually two joints that connect for rotating (gliding) function of the shoulder. This is my best guest and I'm no medical professional.
