Name one of the two functions of an articulation, or joint

1. holds bones together



2. allows flexibility for movement

The functional classification of joints is based on

amount of movement allowed by the joint

Structural classification of joints include fibrous, cartilaginous, and _____, which have a fluid-filled cavity between articulating bones

synovial

Sutures, which have their irregular edges of bone joined by short fibers of connective tissue, are an example of _____ joints

fibrous

True/False



All synovial joints are diarthroses, or freely moveable joints

True

Every muscle of the body is attached to a bone or other connective tissue structure at two points, The ____ is the more moveable attachment

insertion

The hip joint is an example of _____ synovial joint

ball and joint

Movement of a limb away from the midline or median plane of the body in the frontal plane is known as

abduction

This type of movement is common in ball and socket joints and can be described as the movement of a bone around its longitudinal axis. It is _____

rotation

True/False



The knee joint is the most freely moveable joint in the body

False (it is the shoulder)

typically allows a slight degree of movement

cartilaginous

includes joints between the vertebral bodies and the pubic symphosis

cartilaginous

essentially immovable joints

fibrous

sutures are the most remembered examples

fibrous

characterized by cartilage connecting the bony portions

cartilaginous

all characterized by a fibrous articular capsule lined with a synovial membrane surrounding a joint cavity

synovial

all are freely movable or diarthortic

synovial

bone regions united by fibrous connective tissue

fibrous

include the hip, knee, and elbow joints

synovial

ligament

dense connective tissue made out of fascia that connects one bone to another; helps stabalize joints during movement

articular catilage

connective tissue, cushions bones from rubbing on each other, allows gliding motion

tendon

connective tissue, connects muscles to bone

synovial membrane

soft connective tissue; secretes synovial fluid that lubricates the joint and reduces friction between bones in joints

bursa

fibrous connective tissue; prevents friction within the joints

...

joint between the axis and atlas

pivot

hip joint

ball and socket

intervertebral joints

condylar

joint between forearm bones and wrist

condylar

elbow

hinge

interphalangeal joints

hinge

intercarpal joints

plane

joint between talus and tibia/fibula

hinge

joint between skull and vertebral column

condylar

joint between jaw and skull

hinge

joints between proximal phalanges and metacarpal bones

condylar

a multiaxial joint

ball and socket

biaxial joints

condylar and saddle

uniaxial joints

hinge and pivot

Indicate the number of planes which each joint can move



uniaxial joints (a)____


biaxial joints (b)___


multiaxial joints (c)___



(a) 1


(b) 2


(c) 3

define condylar joint

(biaxial) the oval condyle of one bone fits into an ellipsoidal depression in another bone to allow movement in two planes, usually flexion/extension and abduction/adduction



Ex: wrist and knuckles

define plane joint

(nonaxial) articulating surfaces are flat or slightly curved. These surfaces allow only grinding movements as the surfaces slide past one another.



Ex: intercarpal joints, joints between vertebral articular surface

define hinge joint

(uniaxial) the runded or cylindrical process of one bone fits into the concave surface of another bone, allowing movement in one plane, usually flexion/extension



Ex: elbow

define pivot joint

(uniaxial) the rounded surface of one bone articulates with a shallow depression or foramen in another bone, permitting rotational movement in one plane



Ex: proximal radioulnar joint

define saddle joint

(biaxial) articulating surfaces are saddle shaped; one surface is convex, and the other is concave. This type of joint permits movement in two planes, flexion/extension and abduction/adduction



Ex: carpometacarpal joints of the thumbs

define ball and socket joints

(multiaxial) the ball shaped head of one bone fits into a cuplike depression depression of another bone. These joints permit flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, and rotation, which combines to allow movement in many planes



Ex: shoulder and hip

What characteristic do all joints have in common

movement


Which joint is more stable hip or or knee

hip

Name two important factors that contribute to the stability of the hip

1. deep sockets


2. ligaments

Name two important factors that contribute to the stability of the knee

1. strength of the anterior/posterior cruciform ligaments


2. integrity of the cartilage on bones at the knees

...

The shoulder joint is built for mobility. List 4 factors that contribute to the large range of motion at the shoulder

1. ball and socket joint


2. glenoid labrum deepens the cavity


3. few reinforcing ligaments


4. thin/loose articular cartilage encloses the joint

In which direction does the shoulder usually dislocate

downward displacement of the humerus

During muscle contraction, the (a)_____ moves toward the (b)_____

(a) insertion


(b) origin

What structural joint changes are common to the elderly

degeneration, adhesions may form at bone ligaments, extraneous bone tissue can grow along the joint edges

define sprain

ligaments are stretched or torn away from the bony attachment

define dislocation

bones are forced out of their normal position in the joint cavity

What types of tissue damage might you expect to find in a dislocated joint

torn or stressed ligaments
