Where two bones interconnect.
articulations
range of movement --> no movement.
synarthrosis
range of movement --> some movement.
amphiarthrosis
range of movement --> freely moveable.
diarthrosis
4 types of synarthrosis (immoveable) articulations
suture, gomphosis,, synostosis, and synchondroses
type of synarthrosis articulation, acticulating bones joined by a thin layer of dense connective tissure.

ex: between bones of the skull ONLY
suture
type of synarthrosis articulation, cone shaped peg fits into socket

ex: teeth in maxillary and mandible.
gomphosis
type of synarthrosis articulation, created by fusion of two bones; boundary between them disappears.

ex: formation of the epiphyseal line.
synostsis
type of synarthrosis articulation, connecting material is cartilage. Cartilage bridge between two bones.

ex: connects epiphysis with diaphysis in growing long bone.
synchodroses
these articulations, the bones are connected by collagen fibers or cartilage.
amphiarthroses
2 types of amphiarthroses (slightly moveable) articulations
syndesmosis and symphysis
type of amphiarthroses articulation, articulating bones joined by ligaments (dense connective tissue)

ex: btw. ulna and radius and btw. tibia and fibula.
syndesmosis
type of amphiarthroses articulation, articulating bones joined by fibrocartilage.

ex: intervertebral disc
symphsis
surrounds joints and is filled with synovial fluid.
joint cavity
thick fluid, rich in proteoglycan. lucrication, nutrient distribution, and shock absorption.
synovial fluid
covers joint; continuous with periosteum of bone.
outer fibrous articular capsule
4 types of accessory structures:
cartilages and fat pads, accessory ligaments, tendons, and bursae
2 kinds of cartilages and fat pads:
meniscus and fat pads
pad of fibrous cartilage between bones
meniscus
areas of fat covered by synovial membrane
fat pads
2 kinds of accessory ligaments:
extracapsular and intracapsular
ligaments located OUTSIDE joint capsule.
extracapsular
ligaments located INSIDE joint capsule.
intracapsular
may pass across or around joint. help to provide stability and support.
tendons
small fluid pockets in connective tissue. contain synovial fluid and are lined by a synovial membrane.
bursae
6 types of synovial joints:
gliding, hinge, pivot, ellipsoidal or condyloid, saddle, and ball-and-socket.
type of synovial joint: articulating surfaces are flat or slightly curved --> nonaxial
gliding
type of synovial joint: ex. ends of clavicles, btw carpals; btw ribs 2-7 and sternum; btw. articular processes of adjacent vertebrae.
gliding
type of synovial joint: C-shaped surface of one bone swings about rounded surface of another bone --> monoaxial
hinge
type of synovial joint: ex. knee, elbow, ankle, intrerphalangeal joints
hinge
type of synovial joint: a ring of bone rotates about process of a bone --> monoaxial rotation
pivot
type of synovial joint: ex. atlas and axis; head of the radius and proximal shaft of the ulna
pivot
type of synovial joint: an oval condyle of one bone fits into a depression on another bone --> biaxial
ellipsoidal or condyloid
type of synovial joint: ex. radius with proximal carpals; phalanges with metacarpals, phalanges with metatarsals.
ellipsoidal or condyloid
type of synovial joint: resembles a saddle (concave in one direction/convex in other) --> biaxial
saddle
type of synovial joint: ex. carpometacarpal joint at base of thumbs (twiddling)
saddle
type of synovial joint: ball like head of one bone fits into cup shaped socket of another --> tiaxial
ball-and-socket
type of synovial joint: ex. shoulder and hip
ball-and-socket
angular motion: decreases angle between articulating bones in the anterior/posterior
flexion
angular motion: increase the angle between articulating bone in the anterior/posterior plane
extension
angular motion: continuation of extension beyond anatomical position (head/back)
hyperextension
angular motion: movement away from the midline
abduction
angular motion: movement toward the midline
adduction
angular motion: proximal ends remain stable, and distal end moves in a circle
circumduction
angular motion: movement of a bone around a long axis.
rotation
