Hinged Joint |
Flexion and extension only EX: elbow |
|
|
Ball and Socket Joint |
Flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, circumduction and rotation. EX: shoulder (humans) |
|
|
Pivot Joint |
Rotation and circumduction. EX: skull (only one) |
|
|
Gliding Joint |
Flexion and extension only. Very limited adduction and abduction. Surfaces are flat. |
|
|
Stifle Joint |
4 ligaments. 1 tendon. Most complex joint. One of the largest joints. |
|
|
Cranial Cruciate Ligament & Caudal Cruciate Ligament |
Located between the femur and tibia on the inside of the joint in a cross section. |
|
|
Lateral Collateral & Medial Collateral Ligament |
Located on the lateral and medical aspects of the joint. Connects the femur to the fibula and femur to the tibia. Outside of the joint. |
|
|
Patellar Tendon |
On the cranial aspect and contains the patella. |
|
|
Articulate Cartilage |
Covers the ends of the bones where they articulate. |
|
|
Meniscus |
Forms a cushion of support between the bones. The connective tissues gets injured when the joint is loose. Particular to the stifle joint. |
|
|
Fibrous Joint (Suture Joint) |
No mobility. EX: Splint bones or skull joints. |
|
|
Cartilaginous Joint (Vertebral Joint) |
Limited mobility EX: mandibular symphysis, pubic symphysis in pelvis, intervertebral joints. |
|
|
Synovial Joints (True Joints) |
Important, permit a lot of mobility. EX: shoulder, stifle, elbow. |
|
|
Joint Cavity |
Spaces between the bones. Contains synovial fluid. |
|
|
Joint Capsule |
Encloses the joint cavity. Connective tissue surrounds the joint.
LAYERS: fibrous membrane (outer layer) and synovial membrane (inner layer). |
|
|
Synovial Fluid |
Lubricant. Carries nutrients to the articular cartilage which does not have blood supply. Transparent. |
|
|
Articular Cartilage |
Hyaline Cartilage: smooth glass like. Covers the articular surfaces of the bone. |
|
|
Bursa |
Synovial sac between the two structures which tend to run together. |
|
|
Synovial Sheath |
Protects tendons. Travels a long distance over bone and other structures. Membrane lining the cavity of bone through which a tendon moves. EX: carpal sheath. |
