Joints No not those kind of joints ya hippie…. Structural Classifications. Fibrous – joints held together by (mainly collagen) fibres. Cartilaginous – cartilages joints Synovial – cartilage capped bones are separated by a fluid filled space and stabilised with ligaments.

Structural Classifications • Fibrous – joints held together by (mainly collagen) fibres. • Cartilaginous – cartilages joints • Synovial – cartilage capped bones are separated by a fluid filled space and stabilised with ligaments.
Functional Classifications • Synarthroses – Immovable joints (syn = together, arthro = joint) • In adults usually Fibrous • Amphiarthroses – Slightly movable (amphi = on both sides) • In adults usually Cartilaginous • Diarthrotic Joints – Freely moveable (Dia = through, apart) • All are Synovial
Functional Classifications • Synarthroses • Where do you find these?
Synarthroses • Sternum and rib 1 (sternocostal) structurally classified as a synchodroses • What structural classification is a synchodroses under? • Distal tibiofibular joint (has slight give) structurally classified as a syndesmoses • What structural classification is a syndesmoses under? • Suture joints (syntoses) in the skull • What is the function of suture joints? • What is different about these joints at birth and in early life? Why are they different then?
Premature fusion of skull bones is called either craniosynostosis or craniostenosis. • This occurs in Apert’s Syndrome and Crouzon Syndrome
Amphiarthroses • They are synphyses or fibrocartilage joints • Where do you find these?
Examples of amphiarthrotic joints • Between vertebral bodies • How far can you twist your spine? • Where is most of the movement from? Why?
Diarthrotic joint types • Ball and socket • Hinge • Gliding (or plane) • Pivot • Saddle • Condyloid
Ball and Socket Joints • Multi-axial • What is different about the hips and shoulders? • Why are the hips are shoulder so different? • What are the pros and cons of these differences?
Pivot Joints • Uniaxial • Where are they?
Hinge Joints • Where are they?
Saddle Joints • Where are they?
