Objectives Joints
  • Define joint or articulation.
  • Classify joints structurally and functionally.
  • Describe the general structure of fibrous joints.
    Name and give an example of each of the three
    common types of fibrous joints.
  • Describe the general structure of cartilaginous
    joints. Name and give an example of each of the
    two common types of cartilaginous joints.
  • .Name and describe (or perform) the common types
    of body movements.

4
Joints (Articulations)
  • Articulationsite where two or more bones meet
  • Functions of joints
  • Give skeleton mobility
  • Hold skeleton together

5
Functional Classification of Joints
  • Based on amount of movement allowed by the joint
  • Three functional classifications
  • Synarthrosesimmovable
  • Amphiarthrosesslightly movable
  • Diarthrosesfreely movable

6
Structural Classification of Joints
  • Based on material binding bones together and
    whether or not a joint cavity is present
  • Three structural classifications
  • Fibrous
  • Cartilaginous
  • Synovial

7
Fibrous Joints
  • Bones joined by dense fibrous connective tissue
  • No joint cavity
  • Most are synarthrotic (immovable)
  • Three types
  • Sutures
  • Syndesmoses
  • Gomphoses

8
Fibrous Joints Sutures
  • Rigid, interlocking joints containing short
    connective tissue fibers
  • Allow for growth during youth
  • In middle age, sutures ossify and are called
    synostoses

9
(a) Suture
Joint held together with very short, interconnecti
ng fibers, and bone edges interlock. Found only
in the skull.

10
Fibrous Joints Syndesmoses
  • Bones connected by ligaments (bands of fibrous
    tissue)
  • Movement varies from immovable to slightly
    movable
  • Examples
  • Synarthrotic distal tibiofibular joint
  • Diarthrotic interosseous connection between
    radius and ulna

11
(b) Syndesmosis
Joint held together by a ligament. Fibrous tissue
can vary in length, but is longer than in
sutures.

Fibrous Joints Gomphoses
  • Peg-in-socket joints of teeth in alveolar sockets
  • Fibrous connection is the periodontal ligament

(c) Gomphosis
Peg in socket fibrous joint. Periodontal ligamen
t holds tooth in socket.

14
Cartilaginous Joints
  • Bones united by cartilage
  • No joint cavity
  • Two types
  • Synchondroses
  • Symphyses

15
Cartilaginous Joints Synchondroses
  • A bar or plate of hyaline cartilage unites the
    bones
  • All are synarthrotic

16
(a) Synchondroses
Bones united by hyaline cartilage
Sternum (manubrium)
Epiphyseal plate (temporary hyaline
cartilage joint)
Joint between first rib and sternum (immovable)
Figure 8.2a
17
Cartilaginous Joints Symphyses
  • Hyaline cartilage covers the articulating
    surfaces and is fused to an intervening pad of
    fibrocartilage
  • Strong, flexible amphiarthroses

18
(b) Symphyses
Bones united by fibrocartilage
Body of vertebra
Fibrocartilaginous intervertebral disc

19
Synovial Joints
  • All are diarthrotic
  • Include all limb joints most joints of the body

20
Synovial Joints
  • Distinguishing features
  • Articular cartilage hyaline cartilage
  • Joint (synovial) cavity small potential space

21
Synovial Joints
  • Distinguishing features
  • 3. Articular (joint) capsule
  • Outer fibrous capsule of dense irregular
    connective tissue
  • Inner synovial membrane of loose connective tissue

22
Synovial Joints
  • Distinguishing features
  • 4. Synovial fluid
  • Viscous slippery filtrate of plasma hyaluronic
    acid
  • Lubricates and nourishes articular cartilage

Synovial Joints
  • Distinguishing features
  • 5. Three possible types of reinforcing ligaments
  • Capsular (intrinsic)part of the fibrous capsule
  • Extracapsularoutside the capsule
  • Intracapsulardeep to capsule covered by
    synovial membrane

25
Synovial Joints
  • Distinguishing features
  • 6. Rich nerve and blood vessel supply
  • Nerve fibers detect pain, monitor joint position
    and stretch
  • Capillary beds produce filtrate for synovial fluid

26
Synovial Joints Friction-Reducing Structures
  • Bursae
  • Flattened, fibrous sacs lined with synovial
    membranes
  • Contain synovial fluid
  • Commonly act as ball bearings where ligaments,
    muscles, skin, tendons, or bones rub together

27

Cavity in bursa containing synovial fluid
Bursa rolls and lessens friction.

otherstructure) would rub against a bone

Synovial Joints Friction-Reducing Structures
  • Tendon sheath
  • Elongated bursa that wraps completely around a
    tendon

30
Stabilizing Factors at Synovial Joints
  • Shapes of articular surfaces (minor role)
  • Ligament number and location (limited role)
  • Muscle tone, which keeps tendons that cross the
    joint taut
  • Extremely important in reinforcing shoulder and
    knee joints and arches of the foot

31
Synovial Joints Movement
  • Muscle attachments across a joint
  • Originattachment to the immovable bone
  • Insertionattachment to the movable bone
  • Muscle contraction causes the insertion to move
    toward the origin
  • Movements occur along transverse, frontal, or
    sagittal planes

32
Synovial Joints Range of Motion
  • Nonaxialslipping movements only
  • Uniaxialmovement in one plane
  • Biaxialmovement in two planes
  • Multiaxialmovement in or around all three planes

33
Summary of Characteristics of Body Joints
  • Consult Table 8.2 for
  • Joint names
  • Articulating bones
  • Structural classification
  • Functional classification
  • Movements allowed

Movements at Synovial Joints
  • Gliding
  • Angular movements
  • Flexion, extension, hyperextension
  • Abduction, adduction
  • Circumduction
  • Rotation
  • Medial and lateral rotation

39
Movements at Synovial Joints
  • 4. Special movements
  • Supination, pronation
  • Dorsiflexion, plantar flexion of the foot
  • Inversion, eversion
  • Protraction, retraction
  • Elevation, depression
  • Opposition

40
Gliding Movements
  • One flat bone surface glides or slips over
    another similar surface
  • Examples
  • Intercarpal joints
  • Intertarsal joints
  • Between articular processes of vertebrae

41

42
Angular Movements
  • Movements that occur along the sagittal plane
  • Flexiondecreases the angle of the joint
  • Extension increases the angle of the joint
  • Hyperextensionexcessive extension beyond normal
    range of motion
