Classification of Joints
*fibrous *cartilaginous *synovial |
By structure and Function
*structural= binding material *functional= amount of movement allowed at the joint |
|
|
Fibrous Joints
|
*Bones are joined by fibrous tissue
*length of fibers = movement |
|
|
Cartilaginous Joints
*synchondrosis=bar or plate *symphysis=fusion of articular cartilage |
Articulating bones are connected by cartigage
*no joint cavity * |
|
|
Synovial Joints
|
Articulating bones are seperated by a fluid-containing joint cavity
|
|
|
Sutures
|
Seams that occur between the bones of the skull
|
|
|
Synostoses
|
During middle age the fibrous tissue ossifies in the skull and the skull bones fuse together
|
|
|
Syndesmoses
|
Bones that are connected by a ligament, cord or band of fibrous tissue.
|
|
|
Synovial Joints
*fluid filled cavity *all are diarthrotic |
General features
*articular cartilage (hyaline) *joint cavity (fluid) *articular cavity capsule, synovium *synovial fluid |
|
|
Reinforcing ligaments
*intrinsic *extracapsular *intracapsular |
*part of fibrous capsule
*outside of capsule *deep to capsuleand covered by synovium |
|
|
Fat pads
|
