What are the types of joints? |
Fibrous Cartilaginous Synovial |
|
Describe a fibrous joint. |
The articulating bones are connected by fibrous tissue. This type of joint has limited movement between joints. Range of movement depends on the length of the Fibres. |
|
Give examples of fibrous joints. |
Sutures of the skull Syndesmosis of the forearm and calf Gomphoses of teeth in jaw bone |
|
Describe a Cartilaginous Joint. Give Examples. |
A joint held together by hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage. Examples are the sternocostal joint and the pubic symphysis. |
|
What is a primary cartilaginous joint? |
An immovable joint. A plate of hyaline cartilage that connects bones at the joint. Permits growth of long bones. For example the epiphyseal plate of the femur. |
|
What is a secondary cartilaginous joint? |
A joint united by fibrocartilage, creating a partially moveable joint. For example intervertebral discs in the spine |
|
Describe a synovial Joint? |
Synovial joints are the most common joint in the body. They provide free movement between the bones they join. They are often reinforced by ligaments to help guide and restrict movement. |
|
What are the structural elements of a synovial joint? |
- articulating bone surfaces are covered with hyaline cartilage - enclosed by an outer fibrous capsule - a synovial membrane lines the inside of the capsule and encloses the articular cavity - the articular cavity is a potential space that contains lubricating fluid called synovial fluid which is screwed by the synovial membrane |
|
What are the types of synovial joints? |
Plane Hinge Saddle Condyloid Ball and Socket Pivot |
|
Describe a plane joint? |
Surfaces are flat and glide on one another |
|
Give an example(s) of a plane joint. |
Acromioclavicular joint Carpels of the wrist Tarsals of the ankle |
|
Describe a Hinge Joint. |
Permits flexion and extension movements (one plane or one degree of freedom) |
|
Give an example(s) of a Hinge Joint |
Elbow Knee |
|
Describe a saddle joint. |
The opposing articular surfaces are shaped like a saddle. This type of joint permits adduction/abduction and flexion/extension equally. Circumduction is possible (two planes or two degrees of freedom). |
|
Give an example of a saddle joint. |
First carpometacarpal joint at the thumb |
|
Describe a Condyloid joint. |
This type of joint permits flexion/extension and adduction/abduction, however one of the movement combinations is greater than the other. |
|

Wrist Metacarpophalangeal (knuckle( |
|
Describe a Ball and Socket Joint. |
The type of joint occurs with the joining of a spheroid shape of one bone and socket shape of another bone. It allows for flexion/extension, adduction/abduction, medial/lateral rotation and circumduction. |
|
Give an example(s) of a Ball and Socket Joint. |
Shoulder Hip |
|

This type of joint permits rotation about a central axis. |
|
Give an example(s) of a pivot joint. |
