Articulations

Joints are also called

Articulations

Are points where bones meet

300 joints

The body contains over

Hyoid bone in the neck

Only bone without a joint is

Joints are

Completely immovable


Limited movement


Considerable movement

Joint structures

Allow the body to walk


run


dance


throw a ball


Type on computer

Joint classified according to

How movable they are : fixed, semi-movable, freely movable

Fixed joints (fibrous joints ) are

Bound by fibers

Cartilaginous joints

Semi-movable joints are joined by cartilage and are called

Synovial joints

Freely movable joints contain a fluid-filled joint capsule and are called

Fibrous joints (synarthroses)

When collagen fibers from one bone penetrate the adjacent bone , anchoring the bones in place

Fibrous joints

Adult skull's suture joints ____



-once growth is complete , the bones of skull knit together securely



-offering protection to the brain

Classification of joints

1. Fibrous joints


2. Cartilaginous joints

Cartilaginous joints ( amphiarthroses)

Two bones are joined by cartilage



-slightly movable

Symphysis

Two pubic portions of the os coxae are joined by pad of cartilage called




- forming the joints known as the symphysis pubis

Intervertebral discs

Fibrocartilaginous pads reside between each vertebrae, making the vertebrae of spine cartaginous joints

Fibrocartilaginous pads

Absorb shock and allow for limited movement

Arthrology

Branch of science that studies joint structure ,function , and dysfunction is called

Classification of joints

-fibrous


-cartilaginous


Synovial

Synovial joints (diarthroses)

Are freely movable



- most numerous and versatile of all the body's joints

Every synovial joint contains this structures:

Joint capsule


Synovial membrane


Joint cavity


Synovial fluid


Articular cartilage


Ligaments

Synovial : joint capsule

Extending from the periosteum of each of the articulating bones is a sheet of connective tissue that encloses the joint cavity

Synovial membrane

This moist ; slippery membrane lines the inside of the joint capsule, where it secrets synovial fluid

Joint cavity

This small space between the bones allows for freedom of movement .



- it also contains synovial fluid

Synovial fluid

A slippery, viscous fluid that has the consistency of an egg white



- it lubricates the joint , nourishes the cartilage and contains phagocytes to remove debris

Articular cartilage

A thin layer of hyaline cartilage covers the bone surfaces.


- in combination with synovial fluid , permits friction - free movement


Ligaments

Tough cords of connective tissue help bind the bones more firmly together

**bursae in synovial joints

Some joints -such as the knee, shoulder, and elbow - contain small sacs filled with synovial fluid called



- residing in areas where muscles and tendons pass over bony prominences., the ー facilitate movement and ease friction

Types of synovial joints

1. Ball and socket


2. Pivot


3. Hinge


4 saddle


5 condyloid


6. Gliding

Ball and socket joint

Head of the one bone fits into a cup like socket of another bone to form this joint to offer the widest range of motion of all joints



-ex : shoulder , hip

Most range

Ball and socket joint

Pivot joint

Projection from one bone articulates with a ring shaped socket of another bone, allowing the bones to rotate or ____.



Ex: dens of second cervical vertebra turns within a ring shaped portion of the first vertebra - allowing the head to rotate


Ex: radiounlar joint, head of the radius rotate within a groove of ulna

Hinge joint

Like a hinge on a door , this joints allow only back and forth movement (flexion and extension)



- to form this joint , the convex surface of one bone (such as a humerus) fits into a concave depression on another bone (such as ulna)


Ex: knee and interphalangeal joints of fingers and toes

Saddle joint

Surfaces from both bones in this joint are shaped like a surface of a ___.



- concave in one direction (front rear of curvature of horses saddle).



Ex: thumbs

Condyloid joint

Oval convex surface on one bone fit into a similarly shaped depression on another



Ex: articulation of distal end of radius with carpal bones of wrist as well. As the joint at the base of fingers



- this joints allow flexion and extension as well as side to side movement

Gliding joint

Two bones surface, which are relatively flat , slides over each other .


Surround ligaments limit the amount of moment


-making it least mobile of all synovial joints



Ex: tarsal bones of ankle , carpal bone of wrist and articular processes of vertebrae

Movement KS of synovial joints depend on

Upon the shape of joints , as well as involvement of nearly muscle, tendons ,ligament

Flexion

Involves bending a joint so as to decrease the angle of the joint

Extension

Straightening a joint , increasing the angle between the bones

Hyperextension

Is the extreme extensions of a joint beyond its normally straight position

Dorisflexion

Moving the toes or foot upward

Plantar flexion

Moving the toes or foot downward ( toward the plantar surface).

Abduction

Movement of a body part away from the midline of the body

Adduction

Movement of the body part toward the midline of the body

Circumduction

Distal end of an appendage, such as the arm or leg ,move in a circle

Internal rotation

Occurs when a bone spins toward the body's midline



Ex: femur undergoes internal rotation when you turn your foot toward the body's midline

External rotation

Occurs when a bone spins away from the body's midline



Ex: femur undergoes external rotation when your turn foot away from the midline of the body

Supination

Movement that turns the palm upward

Inversion

Foot movement that turns the sole medically toward the other foot

Protraction

Moves a part forward

Retraction

Moves a part backward

Pronation

Movement that turns the palm downward

Eversion

Foot moment that turns the sole laterally , away from the other foot

Joints most often require medical attention are :

Shoulder , elbows, knees, hip

Shoulder

Most likely to be dislocation joint

Humeroscapular joint

Shoulder



- denoting the articulation of the humerus with the scapula

glenohumeral joint

articulation of the head of the humerus with the glenoid cavity of the scapula

ball and socket joint

Of the shoulder has the greatest range of motion of any joint in the body



- shoulder more mobile than stable


- shoulder is supported by a number of muscles, tendons, ligaments and bursae

Shoulder joint is

Supported by five principal ligaments and four bursae

Shoulder dislocated

Usually does so inferiorly , resulting a downward driving force


-bc the ratator cuff protects the joints except inferiorly

Children are more prone too shoulder dislocations bc

Their shoulders aren't fully ossified. Injuries mostly from jerked off the ground by one arm or from forceful tug on the arm

Elbow

Is a hinge joint consisting of two articulations : humeroulnar joint and humeroradial joint

Knee or tibiofemoral joint

The largest joint in the body , it's also the most complex



- contains 13 bursae which serve as a pad around the knee joint

Knee: condyles

Femur perch on the flat upper surface of the tibia

Knee: 2 collateral ligaments

1. Fibula collateral ligament


2. Tibial collateral ligament



- keep the knee from rotating when the joint is extended

Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)

Cross each other and further stabilize the knee .

ACL

Keeps the knee from hyperextending

PCL

Limits sideways motion

Lateral meniscus and medial meniscus

Two slightly concave pieces of fibrocartilage.


- cradle the condyles and absorb shock

Which injury more knee or hip

Knee does bc it used den stops or turn ,making knee injury one must Commons athletic injuries

Hip

- ball and socket joint


- more stable than shoulder


-hip socket : depression into which the head of femur sits - is much deeper than the socket of the shoulder joint

Hip: several ligament help hold the femur in place

When you stand, the ligaments twist , pulling the head of the femur into the acetabulum
