© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. An Introduction to Articulations Body movement occurs at joints (articulations) where two bones connect Joint structure determines range of motion (ROM) Joint strength decreases as mobility increases

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Two Methods of Classification 1.Functional classification is based on range of motion of the joint 2.Structural classification relies on the anatomical organization of the joint

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Functional Classifications 1.Synarthrosis - immovable joint: bones fused or nearly fused together 2.Amphiarthrosis- slightly movable joint: joint supports weight of the body 3.Diarthrosis- freely movable joint: capable of precise movement while still supporting that part of the body

Structural Classifications based on  Material that binds bones together  Presence or absence of a joint cavity 1.Bony: 2.Fibrous: amphiarthrosis or synarthrosis 3.Cartilaginous: amphiarthrosis or synarthrosis 4.Synovial: diarthrosis

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 1.Bony joints Synostosis –all synarthrosis No joint cavity Gap between two bones ossifies: forms immovable joint Can form from ossification of either fibrous or cartilaginous joints Examples: Frontal bones Mandibular bones have a fibrous connection which fuses shortly after birth, epiphyseal line in adult long bones

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 2.Fibrous Joints Figure 9.1 Dense fibrous connective tissue Suture line Root of tooth Socket of alveolar process Periodontal ligament Fibula Tibia Ligament (a) Suture Joint held together with very short, interconnecting fibers, and bone edges interlock. Found only in the skull. (b) Syndesmosis Joint held together by a ligament. Fibrous tissue can vary in length but is longer than in sutures. (c) Gomphosis Peg-in-socket fibrous joint. Periodontal ligament holds tooth in socket.  Synarthroses or amphiarthroses  No joint cavity; bones held together by fibrous connective tissue:

Symphysis: Bones connected by fibrocartilage –Intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis. –Amphiarthrosis 3.Cartilaginous Joints - Synarthroses or amphiarthroses

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 4.Synovial Joints All are diarthroses Most common in body. Found at ends of long bones Have a synovial cavity (joint cavity) filled with synovial fluid Movement can be monaxial, biaxial or triaxial

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Periosteum Ligament Fibrous capsule Synovial membrane Joint cavity (contains synovial fluid ) Articular (hyaline) cartilage Articular capsule (a) A typical synovial joint General Structure of Synovial Joints Figure 9.3a Bones held together by a two-layered articular capsule and by ligaments. Bones separated by joint cavity containing synovial fluid Articular (hyaline) cartilage at ends of articulating bones to reduce friction, absorb shock and protect ends of bones

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Synovial Fluid A viscous fluid formed from secretions of synovial membrane and interstitial fluid 3-4 ml in knee joint Functions of synovial fluid 1.Lubrication and reduce friction 2.Shock absorption 3.Supplies nutrients & oxygen, removes wastes from articular cartilage 4.Contains phagocytic cells for protection

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Articular capsule (Joint capsule). —joint cavity is enclosed in a two-layered capsule Fibrous capsule—outer layer of dense irregular connective tissue ─ Strengthens joint ─ continuous with the periostea of the two articulating bones Synovial membrane —inner layer of loose connective tissue ─Lines joint capsule and covers internal joint surfaces ─This membrane does not cover the articulating surfaces ─Functions to make synovial fluid

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Accessory Structures: Cartilages, Fat pads, Ligaments, Tendons, Bursae Articular Disc/Meniscus Fibrocartilage pad found in some joints Function to tightly bnd the bones in joint (eg sternoclavicular joint) or to cushion the joint (knee joint) Torn cartilage: tearing of meniscus; common sports injury Fat Pads Superficial to the joint capsule Protect articular cartilages

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Ligaments Join bone to bone Support, strengthen joints Tendons Attach muscle to bone strips or sheets of tough dense regular connective tissue Help support joint, limit movement

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Bursae (Singular, bursa, a pouch) Small, thin fibrous sacs lined with synovial membrane and filled with synovial fluid Located outside joint capsule Cushion movement between certain areas of body, often where tendons or ligaments rub against other tissues Reduce friction and absorb shock in certain areas where May be connected to joint cavity or separate from it Bursitis: inflammation of bursae (trauma, infection, rheumatoid arthritis)

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 4.Special Movements Elevation Moves in superior direction (up) Depression Moves in inferior direction (down)

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Classification of Synovial Joints by Shape of articulating surfaces Each type permits a different range and type of movement 1.Gliding 2.Hinge 3.Pivot 4.Condylar 5.Saddle 6.Ball-and-socket

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 1.Gliding (Planar) Joints Flattened or slightly curved faces Side-to-side and back-and-forth gliding movements. Limited motion,

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 2.Hinge Joints Concave surface of one bone articulates with and fits into the convex surface of another bone. Flexion or extension

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 3.Pivot Joints Round or pointed surface of one bone fits into a ring formed by another bone and a ligament. Rotation

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 4.Condylar Joints Oval-shaped condyle of a bone fits into an elliptical cavity of another bone Flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, circumduction

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 5.Saddle Joints Articular facets fit together like a rider in a saddle

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 6.Ball-and-socket Joints Ball-shaped surface of a bone fits into the cup-like depression of the second bone. Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation, circumduction.

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Joint Mobility & Strength A joint cannot be both mobile and strong The greater the mobility, the weaker the joint Mobile joints are supported by muscles and ligaments, not bone-to-bone connections

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Articulations Axial skeleton articulations Typically are strong but very little movement Appendicular skeleton articulations Typically have extensive range of motion Often weaker than axial articulations

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Humero-ulnar joint largest and strongest of elbow articulations Trochlea of humerus articulates with trochlear notch of ulna: Hinge movement Shape of trochlear notch determines plane of movement Shapes of olecranon fossa and olecranon limit degree of extension Humero-radial joint Smaller articulation Capitulum of humerus articulates with head of radius Note: Proximal radio-ulnar joint is not part of elbow joint

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Shoulder Separation Common sports injury Partial or complete dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint Shoulder Dislocation Head of the humerus becomes displaced inferiorly where articular capsule is least protected

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 9-5 The Elbow Joint The Elbow Joint A stable hinge joint Articulations involving humerus, radius, and ulna

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. The Elbow Joint is extremely strong and stable due to: 1.Bony surfaces of humerus and ulna interlock 2.Single, thick articular capsule surrounds both humero-ulnar and proximal radio-ulnar joints 3.Articular capsule reinforced by strong ligaments Severe stresses can still produce dislocations or other injuries Example: nursemaid’s elbow

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. The Hip Joint Head of femur fits into a socket, the acetabulum which is extended by fibrocartilaginous acetabular labrum

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Ligaments of the Hip Joint: Iliofemoral, Pubofemoral, Ischiofemoral, Transverse acetabular, Ligamentum teres

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 9-6 The Knee Joint A complicated hinge joint Flexion, extension, some rotation Weight transferred from hip joint to femur Knee joint transfers the weight from femur to tibia

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 9-6 The Knee Joint Articulations of the knee joint 1.Medial condyle of tibia to medial condyle of femur 2.Lateral condyle of tibia to lateral condyle of femur 3.Patella and patellar surface of femur Permits flexion, extension, and very limited rotation

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. External support of Knee Joint Quadriceps tendon to patella Continues as patellar ligament to anterior tibia Fibular collateral ligament Lateral support Tibial collateral ligament Medial support Popliteal ligaments Posterior support extending between femur and heads of tibia and fibula Tendons of several muscles that attach to femur and tibia

Superficial anterior view Superficial posterior view The knee joint Quadriceps tendon Fibular collateral ligament Fibula Tibia Patellar ligament Patella Joint capsule Bursa Tibial collateral ligament Popliteal ligaments Femur Tibia Fibula Fibular collateral ligament Cut tendon of biceps femoris muscle

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Internal support of Knee joint Cruciate ligaments limit anterior/posterior movement of femur and maintain alignment of condyles Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) When knee is extended, ACL is pulled tight and prevents hyperextension Prevents the tibia from moving too far anteriorly on the femur Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) prevents hyperflexion of knee joint Prevents the tibia from moving too far posteriorly on the femur

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Menisci: Medial and lateral  Fibrous cartilage pads between tibial and femoral condyles  Act as cushions and provide lateral stability to joint

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Osteoarthritis Also known as degenerative arthritis or degenerative joint disease Affects larger joints such as hip and knee Generally affects individuals age 60 and older Can result from cumulative wear and tear of joints or genetic factors affecting collagen formation

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Gouty Arthritis Occurs when uric acid crystals form within joint Joint may become immovable Due to genetic metabolic disorders, diet, stress

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Rheumatoid Arthritis Autoimmune disease where white blood cells attack articular cartilages More common in women Inflammation, swelling, severe pain Joint becomes immovable, fingers can become distorted

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Arthroscopy Optical fibers (arthroscope) inserted into joint through small incision without major surgery to visualize joint interior If necessary, other instruments can be inserted through other incisions to permit surgery within view of arthroscope- Arthroscopic surgery Magnetic resonance imaging Cost-effective and noninvasive viewing technique that allows examination of soft tissues around joint as well

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Artificial joints If other solutions (exercise, physical therapy, drugs) for joint problems fail Not as strong as natural joints Typically have service life of about 10 years 3-D Printing-custom made joints
