3. Objective SWBAT explain the 3 classifications of joints
SWBAT describe the 6 types of synovial joints and give examples of each in the human body

4. joints Articulations of bones Functions of joints:
Allow growth
Allow mobility
Most commonly classified by structure

5. Structural classification
1. Fibrous joints –
2. Cartilaginous joints –
3. Synovial joints –

6. Fibrous joints Bones united by fibrous connective tissue, no movement
Examples: Sutures, tibia-fibula

7. Cartilaginous joints
Bones connected by cartilage, little to no movement
Examples: pubic symphysis, intervertebral joints

8. Synovial joints Wide range of motion
Articular cartilage covers ends of bones
Joint surfaces enclosed by a fibrous capsule
Joint cavity filled with synovial fluid
Ligaments reinforce the joint

Imagine you are running. List the joints you are using and what type they are.

12. Plane joint (Gliding joint)
The articulating surfaces of plane joints are nearly flat or slightly curved. These joints allow sliding or back-and-forth motion and twisting. Most of the joints in the wrist and ankle, as well as those between the articular processes of vertebrae, belong to this group.

13. Hinge joints
In a hinge joint, the convex surface of one bone fits into the concave surface of another, as in the elbow and the joints of the phalanges. Such a joint resembles the hinge of a door in that it permits movement in one plane only.

14. Pivot joints
In a pivot joint, the cylindrical surface of one bone rotates in a ring formed of bone and a ligament. Movement at such a joint is limited to rotation around a central axis. The joint between the proximal ends of the radius and the ulna, where the head of the radius rotates in a ring formed by the radial notch of the ulna and a ligament, is of this type. Similarly, a pivot joint functions in the neck as the head turns from side to side.

15. Condyloid joints
In a condyloid joint the oval shaped surface of one bone fits into the oval shaped depression of another bone. This is seen in the joints between the metacarpals and phalanges. This type of joint permits a variety of movements in different planes; rotational movement, however, is not possible.

16. Saddle joints
A saddle joint forms between bones whose articulating surfaces have both concave and convex regions. The surface of one bone fits the complementary surface of the other. This physical relationship permits a variety of movements, mainly in two planes, as in the case of the joint between the carpal (trapezium) and the metacarpal of the thumb.

17. Ball-and-socket joints
A ball-and-socket joint consists of a bone with a globular or slightly egg-shaped head that articulates with the cup-shaped cavity of another bone. Such a joint allows a wider range of motion than does any other type, permitting movements in all planes, as well as rotational movement around a central axis. The hip and shoulder have joints of this type.
