  1. Articulations and Movement Lecture 8

  2. Articulations or Joints • Articulation or Joint • Place where two bones come together • Freely movable to limited to no apparent movement • Structure correlated with movement

  3. Classes of Joints Structural: Based on major connective tissue type that binds bones • Fibrous • Skull sutures • Cartilaginous • Pelvic girdle • Between the vertebrae • Synovial • Most common

  4. Synovial Joints • Allow considerable movement • Most joints that unite bone of appendicular skeleton • Complex • Articular cartilage and disks • Joint cavity and capsule • Synovial membrane and fluid • Bursa (plural bursae) • Pockets of synovial fluid Fig. 9.4

  5. Types of Movement • Angular • Flexion and Extension • Hyperextension • Abduction and Adduction • Circumduction • Circular or Rotational • Rotation • Pronation and Supination • Special Movements

  6. Flexion and Extension Fig. 9.7

  7. Abduction and Adduction Fig. 9.8

  8. Circumduction Fig. 9.9

  9. Rotation Fig. 9.10

  10. Pronation and Supination Fig. 9.10

  11. Special Movements • Unique to only one or two joints • Types • Elevation and Depression • Protraction and Retraction

  13. Protraction and Retraction Fig. 9.11

  14. Review Question What action takes place at both the hip and knee when a sprinter leaves the block? extension flexion abduction depression retraction

  15. Points to Remember • A joint or articulation is a meeting between two bones and does not necessarily imply movement • A joint can be classified according to its structure • Synovial joints are the most complex • Specific terms are used to describe the movements of joints that are freely movable. • Commonly grouped in opposing pairs that move a part of the body in relation to the anatomical position.
