Synarthroses


2 subcategories

•Fibrous Joints-bones connected by a solid mass of connective tissue proper


•Cartilaginous Joints-bones connected by a solid mass of cartilage

Limited in movements

Diarthrosis or Synovial Joint

Bones connected by a hollow sleeve of connective tissue proper


•the most mobile joints


•most common joint in body


•many types of synovial jointsfi

Fibrous Joints

1. Interosseous membrane


2. Syndesmosis


3. Sutures

Interosseous Membrane

Bones joined by sheets dense connective tissue.


•a sheet of thick collagen fibers


•sheets help hold bones in place

Inter-=between+oss=bone

Syndesmosis

Bones joined by bands or thin layers of dense connective tissue


•Dento-alveolar Syndesmosis or gomphosis:they restrain


•cranial syndesmoses: pterygospinous ligament, stylohyoid ligament


•vertebral syndesmoses: interspinous ligament, intertransverse ligament


•Distal tibiofibular syndesmosis

Sutures

Close bony junctions with minimal amounts of connective tissue, growth surface, shock absorption zones.


Plane sutures, squamous sutures, serrate sutures, denticulate sutures

Plane sutures

Side by side

Squamous sutures

Bones overlap a little

Serrate sutures

Look like zigzags

Denticulate sutures

-Like teeth they come together


-Hold the two bones together

Cartilaginous joints

Two types: synchondrosis and symphysis

Synchondrosis

Together with cartilage



Epiphyseal growth plate: growth plate in developing bones, plates at the ends of bones, hyaline cartilage, temporary joints

Symphysis

To make to grow together



Intervertebral discs: dense fibro cartilage



Symphysis pubis

Synovial Joints

Provide for the majority of skeletal movement in the body.


Knee, shoulder, and elbow.


A sleeve of connected tissue

Articular Cartilage

Great for reducing friction


Low friction


Hyaline cartilage


Smooth

Fibrous membrane or capsular ligament

Appears as a thickened continuation of the periosteum, which it is indistinguishably continuous with, spanning beyond the end of one bone to blend intimately with the periosteum over the adjoining bone.


Made of dense irregular connective tissue

Synovial membrane - internal layer

A cushion keeps it lubricated, contains synovial fluid, healthy when moving

Synovial fluid

It coats and lubricates the articular cartilage, helps provide it with nutrients

Meniscus

Is moon shaped


Provides a stable surface joint


Improves alignment


Shock absorber


Fibro cartilage

Articular Discs

Fibrocartilage structures that divide the synovial cavity into smaller cavities


Shock absorption


A fit btw articulating boney surfaces

Labrum

Ball and socket joints


Fibro cartilage lip that extends from the edge of the joint socket

Hinge joint

Back (Definition)

Pivot joint

Back (Definition)

Ellipsoid joint

Back (Definition)

Ball and socket joint

Back (Definition)

Plane joint

Back (Definition)

Saddle joint

Back (Definition)

Bicondylar joint

Back (Definition)

Ligaments

They are bone to bone connections


It prevents certain levels of movement


It's made of dense irregular connective tissue and dense regular connective tissue


Poor blood flow

Bursae

Is a small sac-like structure interposed btw structures that generate significant amounts of friction


Located at areas of friction btw neighboring tissues


Function they reduce friction

Retinaculum

These are collagenous bands of connective tissue that form tunnels through which multi-joints tendons pass as they course into the hands and feet.

Structure of synovial sheath

Is a modified bursa that wraps around a tendon to protect it from friction on all sides

Function of the synovial sheath

Allows for frictionless movement
