Joints are classified into these 2 major categories:
- Structural - Functional
Structural system is base on (2):
- Presence of fluid filled joint space 2. Type of connective tissue
Functional system is based on:
type of movement allowed at the joint
Name the structural and functional type of joint: - No joint cavity -Bones of joints fit closely together - 3 types (syndesmoses, sutures, gomphoses
Structural: Fibrous Joints Functional: Synarthroses
joints in which fibrous bands (ligaments) connect 2 bones slightly movable
Syndesmoses
joints: - found only in the skull - have a thin layer of fibrous connective tissue - adjacent bones interlock with each other - slight movable joint in children - immovable in adults-become ossified
Sutures
frontal bone suture that is ossified (has no connective tissue)
Synotosis
joint: - formed between the root of a tooth and the sockets (alveoli) of the mandible or maxillae - immovable joint when healthy
Gomphoses
Fibrous tissue between root and bone in gomphoses joint
periodontal membrane
Name the structural and functional type of joint: - no joint cavity - bones of joints are joined together by hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage - allow no motion to very little motion - 2 types (synchondroses, symphyses)
Structural: Cartilaginous Functional: Amphiarthroses
joint: - connecting material between articulating bones is hyaline cartilage - immovable
Synchondroses
joint: - with a pad or disc of fibrocartilage between 2 bones - most occur in midline of body - slight movement
Symphyses
Name the structural and functional type of joint: - freely movable - most numerous and anatomically complex joints - comprise a majority of the joints in the appendicular skeleton
Structural: Synovial Joints Functional: Diarthroses
Structure of synovial joints (7):
- Joint capsule (2 layers) 2. Synovial membrane 3. Articular cartilage 4. Joint cavity 5. Menisci 6. Ligaments 7. Bursae/Tendon sheath
The ____ _____ forms a complete casing around a synovial joint
joint capsule
The ____ ____ lines the inner surface of the joint capsule, and attaches to the margins of the articular cartilage
synovial membrane
2 functions of the synovial membrane:
- lubricates - nourishes
Thin layer of hyaline cartilage that covers the articular surfaces of bones and reduces friction during movement, as well as absorbs shock
articular cartilage
small space between bones that allows for extensive movement
joint cavity
pads of fibrocartilage between articulating bones that usually divide the joint cavity into 2 separate spaces; allowing separate movements
Menisci (articular disks)
4 functions of menisci:
- shock absorption - better fit between articulating bones - larger contact surface for weight bearing - synovial fluid distribution across joint surfaces
fibrocartilaginous lip that extends from joint socket and increases contact area between bones
Labrum
____ deepens joint socket of shoulder and hip
labrum
strong cords of dense, regular fibrous tissue that hold bones of synovial joint together more firmly
ligaments
sac-like structure surrounded by synovial membrane. It is filled with synovial fluid, and found between skin and bones, tendons and bones, muscles and bones, or ligaments and bones.
Bursae
_____ cushion joint or facilitate movement of tendons
bursae
tube-like bursae that wrap around tendons that receive a lot of wear and tear
Tendon (synovial) sheaths
____ are extension of the joint capsule but wraps around tendon. It protects tendon as it slides back and forth with movement.
Tendon (synovial) sheaths
The 3 types of synovial joints are:
- uniaxial - biaxial - multiaxial
synovial joints that permit movement around 1 axis and in only 1 plane
Uniaxial
