Classification of joints
|
Fibrous
Cartilaginous Synovial |
|
Fibrous joint
|
No synovial cavity, bones held together by dense irregular connective tissue, rich in collagen fibers
|
|
Cartilaginous joint
|
No synovial cavity, bones held together by cartilage
|
|
Synovial joint
|
Bones forming joint have synovial cavity, united by articular capsule
|
|
Functional classification of joints
|
Synarthrosis
Amphiarthrosis Diarthrosis |
|
Synarthrosis
|
An immovable joint
|
|
Amphiarthrosis
|
Slightly movable joint
|
|
Diarthrosis
|
Freely movable joint
|
|
Articular capsule
|
Surrounds a synovial joint, composed of fibrous & synovial membrane; many have fat pads(adipose tissue)
|
|
Synovial fluid
|
Hyaluronic acid secreted by fibroblast-like cells. Function: lubricate joint, absorb shock
|
|
Menisci
|
Pads of fibrocartilage lie btwn articular surfaces of bones attached to fibrous capsule
|
|
What is a joint?
|
Point of contact btwn 2 bones, bones & cartilage or bone and teeth
|
|
Arthroplasty
|
Surgical replacement of damaged joint; most common: hip, knee
|
|
Suture
|
Fibrous joint that unites the bones of a skull, synarthrosis: immovable
|
|
Syndesmosis
|
Fibrous joint btwn tibia & fibula, amphiarthrosis, greater distance btwn articulating surfaces
|
|
Gomphosis
|
Articulation btwn bones and teeth
|
|
Synchondrosis
|
Epiphyseal growth plate. Cartilaginous joint where connecting material is hyaline cartilage
|
|
Symphysis
|
Cartilaginous joint, ends of articulating bones are covered with hyaline cartilage, but broad flat disc of fibrocartilage connect bone. Pubic symphysis, amphiarthrosis
|
|
Synovial
|
Joint with cavity btwn bones, diarthrosis
|
|
Synostosis
|
Bony joint, a complete fusion of 2 separate bones into one bone, etc frontal bone.
|
|
Hinge joint
|
Convex surface of 1 bone articulates w/ concave surface of another bone= flexion & extension. Knee
|
|
Saddle joint
|
Modified condyloid joint, articulating bones resemble rider in saddle. Joint btwn trapezium and thumb.
|
|
Ball-and-socket joint
|
Ball shaped surface of 1 bone articulates with cuplike depression in another bones. Largest range of motion. Hip joint.
|
|
Planar joint
|
Articulating bone surfaces are flat or slightly curved=gliding movement. Intercarpal joint
|
|
Condyloid joint
|
Convex oval projection of one bone fits oval depression of another bone. Movement on 2 axes. Radiocarpal
|
|
Pivot joint
|
Rounded/pointed surface of 1 bone articulates w/ ring formed by another bone & ligament. Rotates around own axes. Radioulnar
|
|
Elevation
|
Upward movement of body part
|
|
Depression
|
Downward movement of body part
|
|
Adduction
|
Movement of bone toward midline
|
|
Gliding
|
Flat bone surfaces move back and forth; side to side
|
|
Protraction
|
Movement of body part anteriorly to transverse plane; thrusting out mandile
|
|
Circumduction
|
Movement of distal end of part of body in a circle
|
|
Retraction
|
Movement of protracted part of body back to anatomical position
|
|
Inversion
|
Turn inward, turn up big toe inward
|
|
Eversion
|
Turn outward, movement of sole laterally at intertrasal joint, pick up pinky toe
|
|
Dorsiflexion
|
Bending of foot at ankle, stand on heels
|
|
Plantar flexion
|
standing on toes
|
|
Supination
|
Movement of forearm, palm facing front
|
|
Pronation
|
Movement of forearm, palm turned posteriorly
|
|
Opposition
|
Movement of thumb, touch fingers on same hand
|
|
Range of motion (ROM)
|
Range, measured in degrees of a circle through which bones of a joint can be moved
|
|
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
|
Combined hinge & planar joint formed, mandible; only movable joint btwn skull bones
|
