joint classifications (whole body) Flashcards
glenohumeral (GH)
synovial ball-and-socket. triaxial. hyaline cartilage.
acromioclavicular (AC)
synovial planar. nonaxial (passive motion). fibrocartilage articular disk.
sternoclavicular (SC)
synovial modified saddle. triaxial. fibrocartilage articular disk.
scapulothoracic (ST)
pseudo joint between the scapula and posterior ribcage).
mid radioulnar joint
fibrous syndesmosis. amphiarthrotic.
elbow complex: humeroulnar
synovial hinge. uniaxial.
elbow complex: humeroradial
synovial. atypical ball-and-socket. biaxial.
elbow complex: proximal radioulnar
synovial pivot. uniaxial. in the joint capsule but not involved in elbow movement.
distal radioulnar joint
synovial pivot. uniaxial.
radiocarpal
synovial condylar. biaxial. radius articulates with scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum.
midcarpal
multiple synovial planar joints. together they act as a condylar joint. assists with radiocarpal movements.
intercarpal joints
synovial planar. nonaxial contributory motion.
carpometacarpal joints (CMC)
thumb is synovial condylar (biaxial). fingers 2-5 are synovial planar (nonaxial contributory motion).
intermetacarpal joints
synovial planar
metacarpophalangeal (MCP)
synovial condylar. biaxial.
PIPs and DIPs
synovial hinge. uniaxial.
pubic symphisis
cartilaginous symphysis. amphiarthrotic. hyaline cartilage on articular surfaces with a fibrocartilage disk in between.
sacroiliac (SI)
2 synovial gliding/planar joints. small amounts of motion. sacral auricular surface has hyaline cartilage, ilial auricular surface has fibrocartilage.
femoroacetabular (hip)
synovial ball-and-socket.
