  3. 3 Types of Joints Classified by how much movement they allow

  4. No Movement Synarthroses • Connective fibers grow between the bones • Structurally Strong • Suture Line “show” joint • Skull • Pelvis • Fibrous Joints • Tib / Fib • Radius / Ulna • Teeth

  5. Skull Suture Joint Development

  6. Amphiarthroses Slight Movement • Cartilage Disc connects the bones • Carry a lot of weight • Symphysis pubis joint • Vertebral joints • Allows for varied movement • Absorb force • Discs filled with a gel • Ribs to Sternum

  7. Diarthroses Free Movement • Capable of many types of Movements • Some just one movement (two directions) • Knee - 2 • Some joints capable of many directions • Elbow - 4 • Ankle – 6 • Wrist – 7 • Synovial Joints

  8. Structure of Synovial Joints • Joint Capsule • Fits over the ends of two bones like a sleeve • Ligaments • Connect two bones together • Articular Cartilage • Cushion bone ends • reduce friction • Synovial membrane • Lubricating fluid

  9. Capsule Synovial Membrane Articular Cartilage Ligament External Ligament

  10. Types of Diarthroses • Ball and Socket • Shoulder & Hip • Hinge • Elbow & Fingers • Pivot • Atlas/Axis (C1 & C2) • Radius/Ulna

  11. Types of Diarthroses • Saddle • Carpometacarpal joint of the thumb • Gliding • Superior & inferior articulating surfaces of vertebrae • Ellipsoid / Condyloid • Wrist

  12. Name That Joint
