Articulation
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
