3 types of joints
- fibrous (CT)
- cartilaginous (hyaline)
- synovial
3 types of fibrous joints
- syndesmosis
- suture
- gomphosis
What is a syndesmosis joint?
Fibrous band-> interosseous ligament
What degree of movement in syndemosis?
Amphiarthrosis
What is a suture joint?
Between bones of the skull-> sutural ligament
What degree of movement is suture?
Synarthrosis
What is a gomphosis joint?
Between tooth root and alveolus-> periodontal ligament
What degree of movement is gomphosis?
Synarthrosis
2 types of cartilaginous joints
- synchondrosis
2. symphysis
What is a synchondrosis joint?
Plate of hyaline cartilage, temporary and permanent
What degree of movement is synchondrosis?
Synarthrosis
What is a symphysis joint?
Thin layer of hyaline cartilage and a pad of fibrocartilage
What degree of movement is symphysis?
Amphiarthrosis
What is a synovial joint?
Between articulating bones, filled with synovial fluid
Parts of a synovial joint
- articular surfaces
- joint capsule
- synovial cavity
- associated structures
What degree of movement is a synovial joint?
Diarthrosis
What is the articular surface made of?
Hyaline cartilage
Parts of a joint capsule
- fibrous layer (outer)
2. cellular layer (inner)
Cells in the cellular layer of a joint capsule
- fibroblastic synovial- produce hyaluronic acid
2. macrophage-like synovial- phagocytic
What is synovial fluid made of?
Hyaluronic acid and blood plasma
Functions of synovial fluid
- lubrication
- protection
- nourishment of articular cartilage
Associated structures of a synovial joint
- articular disk
- bursa
- other ligaments
