3. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. I. Joints ► bones meet at joints (articulations) ► arthro = joint ► Joints can be classified by function or structure

4. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. A. Functional classification is based on amount of movement 1. Synarthroses—immovable 2. Amphiarthroses—slightly movable 3. Diarthroses—freely movable B. Structural classification is based on: ► Material that binds bones together ► Presence or absence of a joint cavity 1. Fibrous 2. Cartilaginous 3. Synovial

5. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Summary of Joint Classes

6. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. II. Fibrous Joints A. bones are connected by fibrous connective tissue B. do not have a joint cavity C. most are immovable or slightly movable ► Sutures ► Syndesmoses ► Gomphoses

7. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Sutures A. bones are tightly bound by a minimal amount of fibrous tissue B. occur only between the bones of the skull C. allow bone growth so the skull can expand ► Synostoses—closed sutures

8. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Syndesmoses A. bones are connected exclusively by ligaments e.g. tibio-fibular joint—immovable synarthrosis e.g. interosseous membrane between radius and ulna ► diarthroses

9. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Gomphoses e.g. tooth in a socket connecting ligament—the periodontal ligament

10. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. III. Cartilaginous Joints A. bones are united by cartilage B. lack a joint cavity C. two types: ► Synchondroses ► Symphyses

11. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Synchondroses A. hyaline cartilage unites bones e.g. epiphyseal plates of long bones e.g. Joint between first rib and manubrium Synchondroses Bones united by hyaline cartilage Epiphyseal plate (temporary hyaline cartilage joint) Sternum (manubrium) Joint between first rib and sternum (immovable)

12. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Symphyses A. fibrocartilage unites bones B. resists tension and compression C. slightly movable joints that provide strength with flexibility ► Intervertebral discs ► Pubic symphysis Symphyses Bones united by fibrocartilage Pubic symphysis Body of vertebra Fibrocartilaginous intervertebral disc (sandwiched between hyaline cartilage)

13. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. IV. Synovial Joints A. most movable type of joint B. all are diarthroses C. each contains a fluid-filled joint cavity D. ends of opposing bones are covered with hyaline cartilage ► absorbs compression

14. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. V. General Structure of Synovial Joints A. articular cartilage ► ends of opposing bones are covered with hyaline cartilage ► absorbs compression B. joint (articular) cavity ► Unique to synovial joints ► Cavity holds a small amount of synovial fluid

15. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. C. Articular capsule—joint cavity is enclosed in a two-layered capsule ► Fibrous layer—dense irregular connective tissue, which strengthens joint ► Synovial membrane—loose connective tissue - lines joint capsule and covers internal joint surfaces -functions to make synovial fluid D. Synovial fluid ► viscous fluid similar to raw egg white ► arises from capillaries in synovial membrane ► contains glycoprotein molecules secreted by fibroblasts E. Reinforcing ligaments ► extracapsular ligaments—outside the capsule ► intracapsular ligaments—internal to the capsule

18. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. VI. How Synovial Joints Function A. Are subjected to compressive forces ► Fluid is squeezed out as opposing cartilages touch ► Cartilages ride on the slippery film B. Bursa - a flattened fibrous sac lined by a synovial membrane C. Tendon sheath - an elongated bursa that wraps around a tendon ► closed bags of lubricant ► reduce friction between body elements

21. VII. Synovial Joints - Movements A. Three basic types of movement 1. Gliding—one bone across the surface of another 2. Angular movement—movements change the angle between bones 3. Rotation—movement around a bone's long axis

22. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Gliding Joints Gliding occurs between: ► carpals ► articular processes of vertebrae ► tarsals

23. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Angular Movements A. increase or decrease angle between bones 1. flexion & extension 2. abduction & adduction 3. circumduction

24. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Extension Flexion

25. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Flexion Extension

26. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Flexion Extension

27. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Abduction Adduction Circumduction

28. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Rotation A. involves turning movement of a bone around its long axis B. only movement allowed between atlas and axis vertebrae C. occurs at the hip and shoulder joints
