Articulations
Where two bones connect
(Body movement occurs at joints)
Joint Structure
Determines direction and distance of movement
(Range of motion)
Two methods of classification?
•Functional & Structural
Functional Structure
Range of motion of the joint
Structural Classification
The anatomical organization of the joint
Functional Classifications:
•Synarthrosis
•Amphiarthrosis
•Diarthrosis
There are 3
Synarthrosis
Immovable joint
(No movement)
Amphiarthrosis
Slightly movable joint
(Little movement)
Diarthrosis
Freely movable joint
(More movement)
Structural Classifications:
•Bony
•Fibrous
•Cartilage
•Synovial
There are 4
List the 4 types of Synarthrosis:
•Suture
•Gomphosis
•Synchondrosis
•Synostosis
Suture
Bones interlocked
Joint; found ONLY in skull
Gomphosis
Fibrous connection (periodontal ligament)
-Binds teeth to sockets
Synchondrosis
Ridge cartilage between two bones

Synostosis
Fused bones, immovable
•Metopic suture of skull
•Epiphyseal lines of long bones
List the 2 types of Amphiarthroses:
• Syndesmosis
•Symphysis
Syndesmosis
Bones connected by ligaments
Symphysis
Bones separated by fibrous cartilage
Luxation
Dislocation
Subluxation
Parietal dislocation
What are the components of a Synovial Joint?
•Articular Cartilage
•Synovial Fluid
•Accessory Structure
There are 3
Function of a Synovial Joint?
To prevent injury by limiting range of motion
Arthritis
All forms of rheumatism that damages the Articular cartilage of the synovial joints
Osteoarthritis
Wear and tear on joints surfaces; or genetic factors affecting collagen formation
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Inflammation condition in the immune system
Caused by infection, allergy, or autoimmune disease
Gouty Arthritis
Occurs when the crystals uricacid or calcium salts form within synovial fluid
Herniated Disc
Nucleus pulposus break through anulus fibrous
Where is the periodontal ligament located?
In the teeth (Gomphosis)
Angular Motion Contains?
•Flexion
•Extension
•Hyperextension
•Abduction
•Adduction
•Circumduction
There are 6
Flexion
Reduces angle between elements
Palm facing downward
Extension
Increases angle between elements
Palm facing upward
Hyperextension
Extension past anatomical position
Abduction
Moves away from longitudinal axis
Ex: Standing in anatomical position moved arm or leg away from the body
Adduction
Moves towards longitudinal axis
Ex: Moving arms or legs towards the body
Circumduction
Circular motion without rotation
Ex: Make a circle in the air
Rotation Contains?
•Pronation
•Supination
There are 2
Pronation
Rotates forearm, radius over ulna
Palms facing posterior to body
Supination
Forearm in anatomical position
Palms facing anterior to body

•Depression
•Lateral Flexion
There are 10
Inversion
Twist sole of the foot medially
Eversion
Twist sole of foot laterally
Dorsiflexion
Flexion at ankle (lifting toes)
Ex: Pointing the toes toward the knee
Plantar Flexion
Extension at ankle (pointing toes)
Ex: Pointing toes towards the floor
Opposition
Thumb movement toward fingers or palms (grasping)
Ex: To force the neck back
Protraction
Moves anteriorly (Pushing Forward)
Ex: To move the neck forward
Retraction
Moving anteriorly (Pulling back)
Ex: To force the neck back
Elevation
Moves in superior direction
Up
Depression
Moves in inferior direction
Down
Lateral Flexion
Bends vertebral column from side to side
Ex: Move your neck from left to right
How do you explain to your grandmother the characteristics decrease in height with advancing age?
The disc in the vertebra will flatten and cause a decrease in height.
How are all the Osteoarthritis in the Rheumatoid arthritis different?
The main difference between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis is the cause behind the joint symptoms. Osteoarthritis is caused by mechanical wear and tear on joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the body's own immune system attacks the body's joints.
