3 structural types of joints
fibrous, cartilagenous, synovial
3 functional types of joints
synarthrosis (immovable), amphiarthrosis (slight movement) diarthrosis (moveable)
fibrous joints
lack synovial cavity
held by fibrous tissue
little to no movement
3 structural types of fibrous joints
syndesmoses
sutures
gomphosis
suture
immoveable synarthrosis
frontal bone is synsotosis
syndesmoses
bones united by ligament
slightly moveable (amphiarthrosis)

example- interrosous membrane btw tibia and fibula
gomphosis
ligaments hold cone shaped peg in bony socket
immoveable (synarthrosis)
tooth
peridontal ligament and alveolar process
cartilagenous joints
lack synovial cavity
little to no movement
connect bones with hyaline or fibro cartilage

2 types are synchrondoses
and symphyses
synchrondosis
connecting material is hyaline cartilage
synarthrosis
ex is epiphyseal plate btw ribs and sternum
symphysis
fibrocartilage is the connecting material
amphiarthrosis
example is intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis
synovial joint structure
1.joint cavity
2.articular cartilage
3. articular capsule
synovial membrane and fibrous capsule
synovial fluid
separates articulating bones
lubricates joints
supplies oxygen
extracapsular ligament
thickenings of fibrous capsule
intracapsular ligament
inside articular capsule, usually gets sprained
articular discs
menisci, separate and divide joint cavity to allow separate movements, 2 different bones can fit together, increase joint stability
articular capsule is composed of what two layers?
fibrous capsule, contains ligaments

and synovial membrane- secretes lubricating fluid
the fibrous capsule is
flexible, permits movement at joint and has great tensile strength
the articular capsule qualities
surrounds a diarthrosis, encases synovial cavity and unites articulating bones
bursae
fluid filled sacs, reduce friction between structures
articular cartilage gets its blood and nutrients from
synovial fluid
sprain
ligaments and joint capsule
strain
muscle or tendon injury
dislocation
bones forced out of normal position
6 types of synovial joints
planar
hinge
pivot
condyloid
ball and socket
saddle
planar joint
synovial
bones are flat and slightly curved
side to side movement
rotation is prevented by ligaments

ex intercarpal/intertarsal
sternoclavicular
vertebrocostal
hinge joint
synovial
convex part of one joint fits into concave portion of another
uniaxial much like a door hinge
flexion, extension, hyperextension

knee, elbow, ankle, IP joints
pivot joint
synovial
rounded surface of one bone articulates with another ring of bone
monoaxial- it allows rotation around longitudinal axis

ex proximal radioulnar (supinate and pronate)
condyloid or ellipsoidal joint
oval shaped projection fits into oval shaped depression
biaxial (flex/extend)
or abduct/adduct-

ex wrist and metacarpophalangeal
saddle joint
synovial
one part is saddle, other part fits on top of saddle

biaxially- it allows circumduction and opposition

metacarpal of thumb with trapezium
ball and socket joint
synovial
ball fits into cup like depression
multiaxial
flex /extend
adduct /abduction
rotation

shoulder and hip
TMJ
temporomandibular joint
formed by condylar process of mandible
mandibular fossa and articular tubercle of temporal bone
movements of jaw include
elevate, depress, protract and retract
TMJ is what two types of joint
gliding (planar ) and hinge
shoulder joint
ball and socket, movement over stability
GH and AC separations are common
GH joint
glenohumeral (shoulder) joint
glenoid cavity to anatomical neck of the humerus
subacromial bursa
AC joint
supporting shoulder joint
associated ligaments strengthen the joint capsule
transverse humeral ligament
holds biceps tendon in place
rotator cuff muscles
supraspinatus
infraspinatus
subscapularis
teres minor
elbow joint
humeroulnar joint
flex and extend
lateral epicondylitis
tennis elbow
medial epicondylitis
golfers elbow
radial annular ligament
holds radial head in place
medial collateral ligament
on lateral side
keeps integrity of joint
lateral collateral ligament
on medial side
keeps integrity of elbow joint
distal radioulnar joint
pivot joint
supination and pronation
radiocarpal joint
abduction/adduction
gliding
circumduction
hand joints
intercarpal
carpometacarpal
metacarpophalangeal
interphalangeal
gliding joints of hand
intercarpal and carpometacarpal
condyloid joint of hand
metacarpophalangeal
hinge joints of hand
metacarpophalageal and interphalangeal
extrinsic ligaments of hand
attach between carpal bones and radius or metacarpals
ulnar collateral and radial collateral ligaments are examples of
extrinsic ligaments
intrinsic ligaments of hand
insert and originate on carpals or metacarpals of hand
MCP DIP and PIP collateral ligaments are also
intrinsic
