A&P 1.9 Flashcards
Synovial Joints Based on Shape of Articulating Bones
List the different types
- Plane/gliding
- Hinge
- Pivot
- Saddle
- Ball and socket
- Condylar
Synovial Joints Based on Shape of Articulating Bones
Describe plane/gliding joints
- flat articulating surfaces that permit the simplest kind of movement (side-side and back-forth)
- least ROM of all synovial joints
translation
Ex: carpals, tarsals, ribs/vertebrae, knee (patella and femur)
Synovial Joints Based on Shape of Articulating Bones
Describe hinge joints
a rounded bone that fits into a trough shaped bone to permit movement similar to a hinged door
flexion and extension
Ex: elbow (ulna 7 humerus), knee (femur & tibia), ankle (tibia & talus) and between phalanges
Synovial Joints Based on Shape of Articulating Bones
Describe pivot joints
- a rounded end of bone that fits into the sleeve or ring of a bone
- permit rotation (one structure is stationary for another to move around)
Ex: atlas and axis (C1-C2), radioulnar joint
Synovial Joints Based on Shape of Articulating Bones
Describe condylar joints
- egg shaped surface that fits into an oval cavity
- “ellipsoid”
- slight ROM
flexion & extension, radial deviation (abduction), ulnar deviation (addu
Ex: wrist (distal radius with scaphoid & lunate), metacarpals/metatarsals and phalanges
Synovial Joints Based on Shape of Articulating Bones
Describe saddle joints
both articular surfaces have convex and concave areas
- “modified ellipsoidal”
flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, circumduction, opposition
Ex: base of pollex (trapezium and 1st metacarpal)
Synovial Joints Based on Shape of Articulating Bones
Describe ball and socket joints
- round head of one bone fits into the round socket of another
- very high ROM
flexion, extension, aB/aDduction, medial/lateral rotation, circumduction
Ex: hip joint (femoacetabular), shoulder (glenohumoral)
