Science of the ligamentous system
Science study of joints and articulations
Arthrology
Other term or synonym of arthrology
Syndesmology
They are formed when 2 or more bones are united by FIBROUS, ELASTIC, OR CARTILAGINOUS or by the combination of the three
Articulation or Joints
A connective tissue bonds that connect muscle to bone
Tendon
A connective tissue bonds that extends from bone to bone
Ligament
It is found within the joints and are surrounded by the synovial membrane
Intracapsular (intra-articular) ligaments
Menisci is found
Intracapsular (intra articular) ligament
It is external to the joint capsule.
It includes collateral, dorsal, palmer, plantar and annular ligaments
Extracellular (periarticular) ligaments
It lies in the medial and lateral aspect of a joint
Collateral ligament
It lies in front of and behind the joint
Dorsal and Palmar (plantar) ligaments
It surrounds the joint and their fibers generally circle the joint to strengthen and protect the capsule
Annular ligament
What are the 2 classification of joints according to number of articulations
Simple joints
Compound bones
- Articulation of more than 2 articulating bones
- Articulation of 2 articulating bones
- Compound joints
- Simple joints
What are the classification of joints based on function
Fibrous joints
Cartilaginous joints
Synovial joints
It has no joint cavity and it is United by fibrous tissue
Fibrous joint ( Synarthrosis)
The three types of fibrous joints
Syndesmosis
Suture
Gomphosis
It has a considerable amount of intervening connective tissue
Ex is the temporohyoid joint
Syndesmosis
It is the joints of the flat bones of the skull
Suture
It is the joints of the flat bones of the skull
Suture
What are the types of suture
Serrated suture
Squamous suture
Plane suture
Foliate suture
Schindylesis
They articulates by means of reciprocally alternating processes and depressions
Serrated suture
One that articulates by reciprocally beveled edges wherein it is a fetal cranium at birth and absorbs shock
Squamous sture
