  • Front
  • Back
articulation
site where two or more bones meet
Functions of joints
give skeleton mobiLity and hold skeleton together
Synarthroses
immovable joint
amphiarthroses
slightly moveable joint
diarthrosis
freely moveable joint
No joint cavity. either synarthrotic or amohiarthrotic.
Fibrous and cartilaginous joints
have a joint cavity. all diarthrotic
synovial joints
Three types of fibrous joints
Sutures, syndesmoses, gomphoses.
Sutures
Rigid interlocking joints, immovable joints for protection of brain, contain short connective Tissue fibers, allow for growth during youth. In middle age, suture ossify and fuse. called synostoses
Syndesmoses
Bones connected by ligaments bands of fibrous tissue. fiber length varies so movement varies. little to no movement at distal tibiofibular joint. large amount of movement at interosseous membrane connecting radius and ulna
Two types of cartilagious joints
synchondroses and symphyses
6 distinguishing features of Synovial Joints
Articular cartilage, joint synovial cavity, articular capsule, synovial fluid, different types of reinforcing ligaments, and nerves and blood vessels.
capsular reinforcing ligaments
Dense irregular thickened part of fibrous layer
extrascapular reinforcing ligaments
outside the capsule ligament and or tendon
intrascapular reinforcing ligaments
deep to capsule covered by synovial membrane areolar connective
bursae
ball bearing sacks lined with synovial membrane contains synovial fluid reduced friction wear ligaments muscles skin tendons or bone rub together
tendon sheath
elongated bursa wrapped completely around tendon subjected to friction
origin
Attachment to immovable bone
insertion
Attachment to movable bone
nonaxial
Slipping movements only
uniaxial
Movement in one plane
biaxial
Movement in two planes
multiaxial
Movement in or around all three planes
flexion
Decrease the angle of the joint move toward the origin
Extension
Increase the angle of the joint move away from the origin
abduction
Movement away from midline
adduction
Movement toward the midline
circumduction
Involves flexion abduction extension and adduction of limb. Limb describes a cone in space
dorsiflexion
point toes up
plantar flexion
point toes down
six types based on shape and articular surfaces
plane hinge pivot condylar saddle ball and socket
plane
nonaxial ex. carpals
hinge
uniaxial ex. elbow interolphyalangeal
pivot
uniaxial ex. proximal radioulnar joints atlantoaxial joint
condylar
biaxial ex. knuckle joints
saddle
biaxial ex. carpometacarpal joints of thumbs.
ball and socket
multiaxial ex. shoulder and hip
osteoarthritis
Common irreversible degenerative wear and tear arthritis. may reflect excessive release of enzymes that breakdown articular cartilage. by 85 of Americans develop more women than men probably related to normal aging process
osteoarthritis
More cartilage is destroyed than replaced in badly aligned or overworked joint. Exposed bone ends thicken enlarge form bone spurs and restrict movement.
treatment for osteoarthritis
glucosamine chondroitin sulfate and nutritional supplements
rheumatoid arthritis
Chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease of unknown calls immune system attacks own cells usually arises between ages 40 and 50 but may occur at any age affects 3 times as many women as men. Signs and symptoms include joint pain and swelling anemia osteoporosis muscle weakness and cardiovascular problems
rheumatoid arthritis
RA begins with synovitis (inflammation of the synovial joints in had) inflammatory blood cells migrate to joint release inflammatory chemicals that destroy tissue. Synovial fluid accumulates joint swelling and inflamed synovial membrane which thickens pannus that clings to articular cartilage. pannus erodes cartilage scar tissue forms and connects articulating bone ends (ankylosis loss of joint dislocation)
Rheumatoid arthritis treatment
Disrupt destruction of joints by immune system steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs decrease pain and inflammation immune suppressant slow autoimmune reaction some agents target tumor necrosis factor to block action of inflammatory chemicals can replace joint with prosthesis
gouty arthritis
Definition of uric acid crystals in the joints and soft tissues followed by inflammation. More common in men. Typically effects joint at base of great toe in untreated gouty arthritis bone ins used and immobilize joint.
gouty arthritis treatment
Drugs plenty of water avoidance of alcohol
Lyme disease
Caused by bacteria transmitted by tick bites symptoms skin rash flu like symptoms foggy thinking may lead to joint pain and arthritis
treatment for Lyme disease
Long course of antibiotics
