Joint
|
|
Joints are classified in two ways
|
Structure---type of CT binding 2 bones
Function--relative degree of mobility between 2 bones |
|
3 types of joints
(Function) |
Synarthrosis
Amphiarthrosis Diarthrosis |
|
Synarthrosis Joint
|
immobile joint
eg. skull sutures |
|
Amphiarthrosis
|
slightly mobile joint
eg. Radius and ulna |
|
Diarthrosis
|
freely mobile joint
eg. knee, shoulder, hip |
|
3 types of joints
(Structure) |
Fibrous
Cartilaginous Synovial |
|
Fibrous Joints
|
held together by dense regular CT
Strong |
|
Cartilaginous Joints
|
held together by cartilage
|
|
Synovial joints
|
bones separated by fluid-filled cavity enclosed by a capsule and stabilized by ligaments
|
|
Most fibrous joints are...
(Function) |
Synarthrosis or Amphiarthrosis
|
|
True or false:
A fibrous joint has a cavity |
False
|
|
3 types of fibrous joints
|
Gomphoses
Suture Syndesmosis |
|
Gomphoses
|
teeth with mandible and maxilla
Held in place by ligament |
|
Suture
|
between bones of the skull
Connected by dense regular CT |
|
Syndesmosis
|
bones joined by long strands of connective tissue
eg. between radius and ulna |
|
Cartilaginous Joints
|
Bones attached directly by cartilage
No joint cavity |
|
Cartilaginous Joints
2 types |
Synchondrosis
Symphysis |
|
Synchondrosis
|
bones joined by Hyaline cartilage
All are Synarthrrosis. eg. ribs attach to sternum via costal cartilages |
|
Symphysis
|
pad ofFibocartilage between articulating bones
All are Amphiarthrosis. |
|
Are Synovial Joints...
Synarthrosis Amphiarthrosis or Diarthrosis |
Diarthrosis
|
|
Structure of Synovial Joint
|
Articular Capsule
Joint Cavity Synovial Fluid Articular Cartilage Ligaments, nerves and Blood vessels |
|
Articular Capsule of the Synovial Joint
|
double layer surrounding entire joint
Outer fibrous layer strengthens joint Inner synovial membrane secretes viscous, oily fluid |
|
Joint Cavity of the Synovial Joint
|
physical space separating two articulating bones
filled with synovial fluid |
|
Synovial Fluid
three functions: |
Lubricate
shock absorber nourish |
|
Articular Cartilage of the Synovial Joint
|
line surfaces of articulating bones
Prevents bone to bone contact |
|
Ligaments, nerves and Blood vessels of the Synovial Joint
|
Provide strength, detect pain, nourish
|
|
Bursae
|
saclike structure on outside of most synovial membranes
o Filled with synovial fluid o Alleviate friction . |
|
Tendon Sheaths
|
elongated burse wrapping around a tendon
o Reduce friction . o particularly in confined areas (wrist and ankle) |
|
Fat Pads
|
often on periphery of joint
o “ packing material” o Fill spaces when bones move |
