Joint/Articulation Classified by: Structure (composition) Function (range of motion)
Types of Joints • Synarthosis – • Immovable Joints; usually joined by strong fibers • No joint cavity • Examples: sutures, joint binding tooth to socket, growth plate
Amphiarthrosis Examples: Cartilage Vertebra Discs, Pubic Symphysis • No joint cavity • Slightly movable joint • Composed of fibrous joints • Composed of cartilage joints • Example: Fibrous • Membrane between radius and ulna
Diarthrosis/Synovial Joint Greater range of motion Joint cavity is present Contains synovial fluid
Six General Characteristics • Articular Cartilage • Covered with hyaline cartilage • Joint Cavity • Space filled with synovial fluid • Articular capsule • Fibrous capsule found on the periosteum of long bones • Synovial fluid • Viscous fluid contains macrophages • lubricates • Reinforcing ligaments • Fat Pads • Extra padding
Types of Synovial Joints Pivot Joints Examples Atlas and axis; Radius and ulna • Allows for rotation • One bone rotates around another
Hinge Joints Examples: knee and elbow, phalanges • One bone fits into another • Motion is along a single plane
Ball and Socket Examples: glenoidfossa and humerous; acetabulum and femur • Freely moving joint • Head of bone articulates with fossa of another
Gliding Examples: carpals, tarsals, between vertebra • Bones slide across one another • Bones must have flattened or curved faces to glide • Movement is limited
Saddle Examples: Thumb • Shape resembles saddle • Permits angular motion; including circumduction but not rotation
Types of Movement Gliding- two or more bones slide past each other
Rotation – turning around the longitudinal axis of body • Pronation and supination are a form of rotation
Pronation- turn palms posterior • Supination – turn palms anterior (Anatomical position) • Terms only apply to movement of radius
Angular Movements -decrease or increase the angle between two bones • Flexion– decreases the angle between two bones • Extension – increases the angle between two bones • Hyperextension – increase the angle by > 180°
Angular Movementsflexion, extension, adduction, abduction and circumduction • Abduction – move away from body’s midline • To be abducted • Adduction – move toward body’s midline • Add to body • Circumduction – cone- shaped movement
Dorsiflexion – point the toe up (superior) • Plantar flexion – point the toe down (inferior) • Eversion – turn ankle laterally • Inversion- turn ankle medially (most common way to twist ankle)
Protraction- move body part anteriorly • Retraction- move body part posteriorly Protraction Retraction
Elevation – movement of the body superiorly Depression – movement of the body inferiorly
