  1. Essentials of Human AnatomyThe Skeletal System 2

  2. Joints • It is the site where two or more bones come together, where there is movement or not.

  3. Function • Holds bones together • Allows bones to move • All bones articulate except the hyoid

  4. Classification of Joints • Fibrous Joints Dense connective tissues connect bones between bones in close contact • Cartilaginous Joints Hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage connect bones • Synovial Joints Most complex allow free movement • Synarthrotic immovable • Amphiarthrotic slightly movable • Diarthrotic freely movable

  5. FIBROUS JOINTS • The articulating surfaces are joined by fibrous tissue. • Very little movement is possible. • E.G : • Sutures of the vault of the skull. • Inferior tibiofibular joints. • Tooth in jawbone

  6. CARTILAGENOUS JOINTS A. Primary Cartilagenous • The bones are united by a plate of hyaline cartilage. • E.G : • Between the Epiphysis and Diaphysis of a growing bone. • Between the first rib and the sternum.

  7. CARTILAGENOUS JOINTS B. SecondaryCartilagenous • The bones are united by a plate of fibrocartilage. • Their articulating surfaces are covered by a thin plate of hyaline cartilage. • E.G : • joints between the vertebral bodies. • Symphysis pubis.

  8. SYNOVIAL JOINT • It has a great degree of freedom of movement. • The articulating bones are covered by hyaline cartilage and separated by a joint cavity. • The cavity is lined by synovial membrane. • It is protected on the outside by a tough fibrous capsule. • The synovial membrane produces a lubricating fluid (synovial fluid)

  9. General Anatomy of Synovial Joints • Basic features: • articular capsule • joint cavity • synovial fluid • articular cartilage • ligaments • nerves • blood vessels

  10. Types of Synovial Joints • From least movable to most freely movable, the six specific types of synovial jointsare: • planar (gliding) joints • hinge joints • pivot joints • condyloid (ellipsoid) joints • saddle joints • ball-and-socket joints

  11. Types of Synovial Joints • Ball-and-Socket Joint • hip • shoulder • Condyloid Joint • between metacarpals and phalanges

  12. Types of Synovial Joints • Hinge Joint • elbow • between phalanges • Gliding Joint • between carpals • between tarsals

  13. Types of Synovial Joints • Pivot Joint • between proximal ends of radius and ulna • Saddle Joint • between carpal and metacarpal of thumb

  14. Mobility and Stability in Joints • Motion permitted ranges from none to various extensive motions. • Structure determines both its mobility and its stability. • more mobile = less stable

  15. Types of Joint Movements • Abduction /Adduction • Dorsiflexion / Plantarflexion • Flexion / Extension / Hyperextension

  16. Types of Joint Movements • Rotation / Circumduction • Supination / Pronation

  17. Types of Joint Movements • Eversion / Inversion • Protraction / Retraction • Elevation / Depression
