Presentation Transcript

  1. Cartilaginous & Fibrous

  2. Joints • Also called articulation • Place where two or more bones meet

  3. Classification of Joints • Structural • Looks at how and what binds bones together. • Looks at if a joint cavity is present • What we will focus on • Functional • Looks at the amount of movement allowed.

  4. Types of Structural Joints • Fibrous • Connected by fibers • Cartilaginous • Connected by cartilage • Synovial • Complex • We are most familiar with these! • Lots of movement!

  5. Fibrous Joints • Bones joined by fibrous tissue • No joint cavity • Most permit no movement

  6. Types of Fibrous Joints • Sutures • “seams” • Skull bones • Gomphoses (gom-fo-sis) • Peg in socket • Teeth

  7. Types of Fibrous Joints • Syndesmoses (sin-des-mo-sez) • Bones connected by a cord or sheet of fibrous tissue (interosseous membrane) • Radius and ulna

  8. Cartilaginous Joints • Bones are joined by cartilage – usually hyaline • No joint cavity

  9. Types of Cartilaginous Joints • Synchondroses (sin-kon-dro-sis) • “junction of cartilage” • Provide sites for bone growth • Epiphyseal plates

  10. Types of Cartilaginous Joints • Symphyses (sim-fih-sez) • “Growing together” • Articular surfaces of the bone is fused to intervening pad/plate of fibrocartilage • Intervertebral joints
