Syndesmoses |
articulating bones are joined by long strands of dense regular ct, amphiarthroses Radius and ulna joint o Tibia and fibula joint |
|
Types of Cartilaginous Joints |
joints have cartilage (hyaline or fibrocartilage) between the articulating bones, also lack joint cavity, could me immobile or slightly mobile synchondroses, symphyses |
|
Synchondroses |
articulation of hyaline cartilage, immobile, synarthrosis o Epiphyseal plate in children o Sternum and first rib joint |
|
Symphyses |
articulation of fibrocartilage, amphiarthroses, acts as a resilient shock absorber o Pubic symphysis o Intervertebral discs |
|
Types of Synovial Joints |
- freely movable articulations, most commonly known joints are synovial, all are diarthrosis (freely movable) |
|
All synovial joints contain |
Articular capsule, Joint cavity, Synovial fluid, Ligaments, nerves, blood vessels, Tendons, and bursa |
|
articular capsule |
double layered capsule o Fibrous layer- o Synovial membrane- |
|
Fibrous layer of articular capsule |
dense connective tissue, strengthens joint |
|
synovial membrane of articular capsule |
areolar connective tissue, produce synovial fluid |
|
Joint cavity |
space permits separation of articulating bones |
|
Synovial fluid |
viscous, oily substance, composed of secretions from the synovial membrane and filtrate from blood plasma o Lubricates articular cartilage o Nourishes chondrocytes in articular cartilage o Acts as shock absorber · Articular cartilage- o Reduces friction o Spongy cushion absorb compression o Prevents damage to articulating surface of bone |
|
Ligaments |
dense regular connective tissue, connect bone to bone o Stabilize o Strengthen o Reinforce joints § Extrinsic ligaments- § Intrinsic ligaments- |
|
Extrinsic ligaments |
separate from joint capsule |
|
intrinsic ligaments |
thickenings of articular capsule |
|
Nerves |
supply the articular capsule and ligaments |
|
Blood vessels |
supply the articular capsule and ligaments |
|
Tendons |
dense regular connective tissue, not part of synovial joint, attaches muscle to bone, upon muscle contraction the tendons pull on bone and create movement, help stabilize joints |
|
Bursa |
fibrous, saclike structure containing synovial fluid, alleviate friction such as when a tendon or ligament rub against bone |
|
Classification of Synovial Joints |
3 axes of movement- uniaxial, biaxial, multiaxial |
|
Uniaxial- |
bone move in one plane |
|
Biaxial |
bone moves in two planes or axes |
|
Multiaxial- |
movement in multiple planes or axes |
|
Classified base on mobility from least to most mobile |
1. plane joints 2. hinge joints 3 pivot joints. 4. condylar joints 5. saddle joints 6. ball and socket joints |
|
Plane joints |
uniaxial, intercarpal and intertarsal joints hand and foot |
|
hinge joints |
uniaxial knee finger joints elbow joints |
|
pivot joints |
uniaxial radius-ulnar joint first two cervical vertebrae |
|
condylar joints |
biaxial, metacarpophalangeal joints knuckles |
|
saddle joints |
biaxial carpometacarpal joint thumb |
|
ball and socket joint |
multiaxial, hip, shoulder |
|
Synovial joint movement and muscle contraction can be visualized as a lever system in which the |
Lever- elongated, rigid object rotating around a fixed point, example: long bone Fulcrum- a fixed point, this would be the joint |
|
movement provided by synovial joints |
flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, supination, pronation, inversion, eversion, elevation, depression, circumduction, rotation, gliding |
|
flexion |
To flex is to decrease the angle between two bones by bringing them close together. (try flexing your arm |
|
Extension |
To extend is to increase the angle between two bones by straightening the joint. To hyperextend is to go beyond the 180° position after you flex it (example: head and neck) |
|
Abduction |
To abduct is to move the limb away from the midline (like "kidnap" = taking a limb away). |
|
Adduction |
To adduct is to move the limb back toward the midline |
|
Supination |
Supinating is turning the palm to face anteriorly |
|
Pronation |
Pronating the hand is to turn the hand outward with the palm facing posteriorly. (example: Queen Elizabeth wave) |
|
Inversion |
To invert the foot is to bring the sole of the foot inward |
|
Eversion |
To evert means to move the soles of feet outward |
|
Elevation |
To elevate means to raise. To perform this motion, the bone is raised. |
|
Depression |
To depress the bone means to lower it. (example: mandible, rib cage while breathing) |
|
Circumduction |
This is when the distal end of the limb moves in a circle. |
|
Rotation |
This is a turning movement of a bone on its own axis |
|
Gliding |
One flat bone surface slips over another bone without any real movement. (example: carpals in the wrist, tarsals in the ankle |
|
Temporaomandibular joint (TMJ |
- articulation of mandible with temporal bone, only mobile joint between the bones of skull |
|
TMJ disorders |
typically occurs in people who grind or clench their teeth, popping or clicking noise heard as they open and close mouth |
|
Sternoclavicular joint |
shoulder joint, joint between the sternal end of clavicle and the manubrium of sternum, allows wide range of movement |
|
Acromioclavicular joint |
acromium of scapulae and lateral end of clavicle |
|
Shoulder separation |
dislocation of acromioclavicular joint as a result of a blow to joint acromium will appear very prominent |
|
Glenohumeral joint |
shoulder joint ball and socket joint between head of humerus and the glenoid cavity of scapula Dislocations of glenohumeral joint common, head of humerus pops out of the glenoid cavity |
|
Knee Joint |
- largest and most complex of diarthrosis, two separate articulations, tibiofemoral joint, patellodemoral joint, composed of several ligaments including the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), also the lateral and medial meniscus ACL tear common due to the ligament being one of the weakest, caused if the leg is hyperextended |
|
Sprain |
the ligaments reinforcing a joint are stretched or torn - common locations are lumbar, knee, ankle) |
|
Strain |
the ligaments are pulled and injured but not as severely as a sprain |
|
Arthralgia |
a pain in the joint - pain in the neck = cervical arthralgia - sacroiliac arthralgia |
|
Arthritis |
inflammation of the joints --> inflammatory disease that damages the joints and causes pain, swelling, and stiffness |
|
Rheumatoid arthritis |
more prevalent in women seen, age of onset 40-50, pain and swelling of joints, muscle weakness |
|
Dislocation |
the bone is forced out of its normal position in the joint cavity - common in shoulder, thumb, TMJ - to repair, the dislocation must be reduced in the same way the bone ends of a fracture are realigned. - common in children - sacrifice mice by cervical dislocation |
