Joints

Front 1

Fibrous Joints

Back 1

Three Types:
Sydesmoses
Sutures
Gomphoses

Front 2

Sutures

Back 2

Synarthrodial Joints
- immoveable

Front 3

Sydesmoses Joints

Back 3

Ampiarthrodial
- slightly moveable

Front 4

Gomphoses

Back 4

Apiarthrodial
-limited movement

Front 5

Cartilagnous Joints

Back 5

Allow little or not movement; these joints are synarthrodial or ampiarthrodial; held together by two cartilages: symphyses & synchondroses.

Front 6

Symphyses

Back 6

-the presence of a broad, flattened disk of fibrocartilage
-amphiarthrodial
ex. intervertebral disks, symphsis pubis

Front 7

Synchondroses

Back 7

temporary form of joint
-synarthrodial
ex. epiphyseal plates

Front 8

Synovial Joints

Back 8

fibrous capsule that contain synovial fluid.
-diarthrodial
ex. joint cavity,

Front 9

Plane (gliding joints)

Back 9

a sliding of gliding motion between the articulating surfaces.
ex. intermetacarpal, carpometacarpal, intercarpal joints of hand and wrist. The right and left lateral atlantoaxial joints between C1 & C2.

Front 10

Ginglymus (hinge joints)

Back 10

flexion and extension movements
ex. interphalangeal joints of fingers and toes, elbow joint.

Front 11

Trochoid (Pivot Joints)

Back 11

rotational movement
ex. proximal & distal radiolunar joints of the forearm, joing between the 1st and 2nd cervial vertebrae.

Front 12

Ellipsoid Joints

Back 12

flexion and extension; abduction and adduction; Circumduction also occurs
ex. 2nd thru 5th metacarpophalangeal joints of fingers, wrist joint, metatarsophalangeal joints of toes.

Front 13

Sellar (Saddle Joints)

Back 13

flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, circumduction
ex. first carpometacarpal joint

Front 14

Spheroidal (Ball & Socket Joints)

Back 14

flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, circumduction, medial, lateral rotation.
ex. hip joint, shoulder joint

Front 15

Bicondylar Joint

Back 15

moves in single direction, permit limited rotation.
ex. knee, temporomandibular joints (TMJ- jaw)
