Ball-and-socket (name structural classification, structural features, functional classification, location examples)

Structural classification: synovial--ball-and-socket


Structural features: smooth, hemispherical head fits within a cup-like socket. all synovial joints contain articular cartilage, a joint capsule (fibrous capsule and synovial membrane, and a joint cavity filled with synovial fluid


Functional classification: diarthosis--movement in all planes


Location example: hip, shoulder


Hinge (name structural classification, structural features, functional classification, location examples)

Structural classification: synovial--hinge


Structural features: one bone with concave surface fits into convex depression in other bone. all synovial joints contain articular cartilage, a joint capsule (fibrous capsule and synovial membrane, and a joint cavity filled with synovial fluid


Functional classification: diarthosis--flexion and extension


Location examples: elbow, knee, interphalangeal

Condylar (ellipsoid) (name structural classification, structural features, functional classification, location examples)

Structural classification: synovial--condylar/ellipsoid


Structural features: oval convex bone fits into a complementary depression. all synovial joints contain articular cartilage, a joint capsule (fibrous capsule and synovial membrane, and a joint cavity filled with synovial fluid


Functional classification: diarthosis--flexion, extension, abduction, adduction


Location examples: radiocarpal, metacarpophalangeal

Pivot (name structural classification, structural features, functional classification, location examples)

Structural classification: synovial--pivot


Structural features: one bone has a projection that is held in place by a ring-like ligament. all synovial joints contain articular cartilage, a joint capsule (fibrous capsule and synovial membrane, and a joint cavity filled with synovial fluid


Functional classification: diarthrosis--rotation


Location examples: radioulnar at elbow, dens at atlas

Saddle (name structural classification, structural features, functional classification, location examples)

Structural classification: synovial--saddle


Structural features: both bones are shaped like a saddle. all synovial joints contain articular cartilage, a joint capsule (fibrous capsule and synovial membrane, and a joint cavity filled with synovial fluid


Functional classification: diarthosis--variety of movements, mainly in two planes


Location examples: base of thumb with trapezium

Plane (gliding) (name structural classification, structural features, functional classification, location examples)

Structural classification: synovial--plane (gliding)


Structural features: all synovial joints contain articular cartilage, a joint capsule (fibrous capsule and synovial membrane), and a joint cavity filled with synovial fluid


Functional clavity

Name & define the 3 types of fibrous joints

Suture, gomphosis, syndesmosis. Bones are joined by penetrating collagen fibers

Name the 2 types of cartilaginous joints

synchondrosis, symphysis

Name the 6 types of synovial joints

ball-and-socket, hinge, condylar (ellipsoid), pivot, saddle, plane (gliding)

Define arthrology

study of joint structure, function, dysfunction

Define kinesiology

Study of musculoskeletal movement

Name & define the 3 kinds of sutures

Serrate suture: interlocking wavy lines (coronal, sagittal, lambdoid)


Lap suture: overlocking beveled edges (squamous)


Plane suture: straight (palatine)

Define and give an example of a syndesmoses

Amphiarthrotic fibrous joint in which 2 bones are joined by longer collagen fibers than suture or gomphosis. E.g, interosseous membrane between radius and ulna

Define and give an example of bony joints

Also called synostosis. Either a fibrous or cartilaginous joint undergoes ossification, effectively turning two bones into one. E.g, mandible and frontal bones.

Explain how an articular disc relates to a synovial joint

In some synovial joints, fibrocartilage grows inward from the joint capsule. The articular disc forms a pads between bones that crosses the entire joint capsule. E.g., temporomandibular, distal radioulnar, sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular

Explain how a meniscus relates to a synovial joint

In the knee, 2 fibrocartilages extend inward from the left and right but do not entirely cross the joint capsule

Define tendon

Strip or sheet of tough collagenous tissue that connects muscle to bone

Define bursa

Fibrous sac filled with synovial fluid between muscles, between bone and tendon, or between muscle and skin

Define tendon sheath

Elongated cylindrical bursae wrapped around tendon (hands and feet)

Name the two kinds of mutually exclusive mechanical advantage conferred by a level

1) More force (crow bar: effort > resistance)


2) More speed or distance (rowing: effort < resistance)



MA = effort length / resistance length

Give an example of the 3 kinds of levers + mneumonic

First class: see-saw (atlanto-occipital joint)


Second class: wheelbarrow (resistance is between fulcrum and effort. e.g., seated and lifting knee)


Third class: oar (effort is between resistance and fulcrum. Most joints of the body)



"Levers don't give you a FRE lunch" (fulcrum in the middle, resistance in the middle, effort in the middle)

Explain the difference between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis

Osteoarthritis: most common. results from normal wear and tear. Accompanied by crepitus and bone spurs.


Rheumatoid arthritis: autoimmune. Ankylosis: solidly fused, immobile joint.

Other names for the shoulder & what articulates with what

Glenohumeral joint, humeroscapular joint.


Head of humerus articulates with glenoid cavity of scapula

Define glenoid labrum

fibrocartilage ring that deepens into glenoid cavity of humeroscapular joint

Name and locate 4 major tendons that support the shoulder

Biceps brachii tendon (long head) --> anterior, top
