What superior articular process of the sacrum articulate?
The superior articular process of the sacrum articulates with the inferior articular process of the last lumbar vertebra (L5) to form the lumbosacral joint.
Joint between scram and hip bone?
The joint between the sacrum and the hip bone is the sacroiliac joint. It is also known as the SI joint. They form the articular surfaces.
The cartilage found at the end of long bones is called?
At articular surfaces. And epiphysial plates in children
Where is the sacrum found in the body?
the sacrum is located in the back
What are the two parts of the sacrum?
The sacrum has a base, an apex, and three surfaces: a pelvic, dorsal and a lateral surface.
What subdivides synovial cavities and allow for variations in the shapes of the articular surfaces?
Menisci
The thin layer of hyaline cartilage on articulating surfaces of bones is called what?
The thin layer of hyaline cartilage on articulating surfaces of bones is called articular cartilage. It helps to reduce friction between bones and absorb shock during movement.
How many articular surface are on each vertebrae?
Each vertebra typically has two articular surfaces, which are the surfaces where one vertebra meets another. These surfaces are covered with cartilage and form joints called facet joints, which allow for smooth movement and stability within the spine.
What is ankylosis of the sacroiliac joint?
ankylosis of a joint means fusion of the articular surfaces renderring the joint immobile
In symphysis joints the articular surfaces of the bones are covered with?
In symphysis joints, the articular surfaces of the bones are covered with hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage. The fibrocartilage acts as a shock absorber and provides stability to the joint while the hyaline cartilage allows for smooth movement between the bones.
What do you call smooth layer of connective tissue protecting the bone surfaces in a synovial joint?
The smooth layer of connective tissue protecting the bone surfaces in a synovial joint is called articular cartilage. It helps reduce friction and absorb shock during joint movement.
What is the meaning of periosteum?
The membrane of fibrous connective tissue which closely invests all bones except at the articular surfaces.
