Synarthrosis
No movement
Fibrous
Suture

Synchondrosis
Amphiarthrosis
Little movement
fibrous
syndesmosis
cartilaginous
symphysis
Diarthrosis
Free movement
synovial
monaxial
biaxial
triaxial
Linear motion
sliding or gliding
Angular motion
angle of bones change with respect to each other
Rotation
One bone can rotate against or within another
Linear motion occurs at
Plane-type joints
-intertarsal
-intercarpal
-acromioclavicular
Angular motion types
flexion
extension
lateral flexion
Rotational motion types
left, right
medial, lateral
supination, pronation
Between bodies of vertebrae
cartilaginous joints
(symphysis)
MovementBetween articular processes
Gliding
(Synovial)
Muscles in the shoulder that traverse ball and socket joint
Supraspinatus
Infraspinatus
Teres Minor
Subscapularis
Dislocations
-acromioclavicular
-glenohumeral
Sprain
overstretching or tearing of ligaments/ joints
Arthiritis
inflammation of joint
Osteoarthiritis
inflammation of a joint resulting from breakdown of articular cartilage
Rheumatoid arthritis
Inflammation of joint due to attack on synovial components by immune system
Excitability
reactive to stimuli from nervous system or environment, generate electrical and mechanical response
Contractility
cells actively shorten upon simulation, generates tension
Extensibility
Cells can lengthen when pulled
Elasticity
Tendency to rebound to some resting length after contraction or extension
Skeletal muscle
mutinucleate cells; striated
Voluntary movement
Smooth Muscle
central nuclei; no striations
propels substances; involuntary control; walls of hollow organs
Cardiac Muscle
single central nucleus;
visible striations;
involuntary
