1. Joints Chapter 9

2. Objectives Be able to define an articulation and arthrology Know the four main categories of articulations and their sub categories Know the various movements allowed by synovial joints Be able to describe selected joints of the body

3. Articulations Any point where two bones meet Arthrology – Science of joint structure, function, and dysfunction Classified into four main categories – Bony Synostosis Immovable joint formed when two separate bones fuse to form one Ex. Frontal, mandible, epiphyseal line – Fibrous – Cartilaginous – Synovial

4. Fibrous Synarthrosis Adjacent bones bound by collagen fibers that penetrate into both bones Three kinds – Sutures Serrate, lap, and plane – Gomphoses Teeth in socket – Syndesmoses Bones held by longer collagen fibers that allow for a greater range of motion – Interosseous membrane between ulna and radius pc.maricopa.edu

5. Cartilaginous Amphiarthrosis Two bones are linked by cartilage Two types – Synchondroses Bones joined by hyaline cartilage – Epiphyseal discs – Symphysis Bones are joined by fibrocartilage – Pubic symphysis, intervertebral discs

6. Synovial Joints Diarthrosis Articulation of bones surrounded by a joint capsule – Articular hyaline cartilage at ends of bones – Synovial fluid – Articular disc and meniscus – Bursa and tendon sheaths Exhibit the widest range of motion zoology.ubc.ca

7. Classes of Synovial Joints Six types based on shape of articular surface and degree of mobility – Ball and socket Shoulder and hip joints Wide range of motion – Condylar (ellipsoid) Radiocarpel joint, metacarpophalangeal – Saddle Trapezialmetacarpal joint Sternoclavicular joint – Plane (gliding) Carpals and tarsals, vertebral articular processes – Hinge Knee and elbow – Pivot Atlantoaxial and radioulnar joints iupucbio2.iupui.edu

8. Movements of Synovial Joints Flexion and extension Abduction and adduction Elevation and depression Protractions and retraction Circumduction Rotation Pronation and supination

9. The Shoulder Joint Glenohumoral joint Shallow joint, allows wide range of motion – Glenoid labrum Tendon of long head of bicep brachii Rotator cuff – Tendons of muscles Five principal ligaments – Glenohumeral (3) – Coracohumeral – Transverse humeral aftabphysio.blogspot.com aidmypain.com

10. The Knee Joint Tibiofemoral joint Two intracapsular ligaments – Acl, pcl Two extracapsular ligaments – Lateral collateral, medial collateral Two menisci – Lateral and medial badknees.net

12. The Ankle Joint Talocrural joint – Two articulations Tibia and talus Fibula and talus Anterior and posterior tibiofibular ligaments – Binds tibia to fibula Medial (deltoid) ligament – Binds tibia to foot Lateral (collateral) ligaments – Bind fibula to foot medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com
