Define joint aka arthrosis aka articulation
Center of rotation
2 to more skeletal components linked together
Name the 2 broad categories of joints
Solid
Synovial
Name solid joint types
Fibrous joints and cartilaginous joints
Describe characteristics fibrous joints
Joints between bones
Linked by tough fibrous ct
No movement under normal conditions
Describe ex fibrous joints
Sutures - cranial
Gomphoses - teeth and mandible/maxilla
Syndesmoses - interosseous membranes
Describe characteristics cartilaginous joints
Joints that link 2 or more bones via cartilage/fibre cartilage
Little movement under physiological conditions
Describe ex cartilaginous joints
Bone cartilage bone = synchondrosis = costocondral/sternocostal joints
Bone fibro cartilage bone = symphyses = pubic symphysis, intervertebral disks
Name the general features of synovial joints
Articular cartilage
Synovial fluid
Synovial membrane
Fibrous capsules
Describe bursae
Between skin
Describe synovial sheath
Potential spaces with synovial fluid
Act as cushions and facilitate gliding of tendons near joints
Describe articular disks
Within Joint cavity
describe ligaments
Local thickenings of fibrous capsules
What can be found in knee
Articualr disks aka menisci = improve fit between reciprocal surfaces of femur and tibia
Collateral ligaments
Cruciate ligaments
(Ligs = intracapsular)
Describe gliding/planar joints = motions and ex
Limited translation - sliding motion
Ex= superior and inferior intervertebral joints at articular facets
Name planar joints
No rotation
Gliding/planar
Name uniaxial joints
One axis only
Pivot and hinge
Describe pivot joints = motions and ex
Axial rotation around longitudinal axis
Ex = humeroradial joint, Atlanta axial joint (c1/c2)
Describe hinge joints = motions and ex
Flexion/extension
Ex = elbow joint (humeri ulnar), interphalangeal joints
Describe condyloid (ellipsoid) joints = motions and ex
2 axes = flex/ext + axial rot (knee) or flex/ext + abd/add (metacarpophalangeal joints)
Ex= knee 2x Condyles, metacarophalangeal joints
Describe saddle joints = motions and ex
2 axes, flex/ext +abd/add
Ex= thumb carpometacarpal joint
Name biaxial joints
2 axes and combos
Condyloid and saddle
Name multi axial joints
Ball and socket joints
3 axes and combos
Describe ball and socket joints = motions and ex
2 axes = flex/ext, add/abd, and axial rotation
Ex= hip joint, shoulder joint (glenohumeral)
What are striations
Orientation of muscle fibres
Reflect fascicles and bundles
What do muscles generate
Tensile forces when sarcomeres engage
Describe muscle fibre orientation
Each level parallel to sarcomere
Clues about actions at a joint
How do muscles attach to bones
Tendons - sometimes much longer, sometimes short
What are muscles enveloped by
Sheaths ct
Epimysium or deep fascia
Can create bellies
Name the 2 main types of muscle architecture
Muscle fibre parallel =strap like, fusiform
Fibres oriented at an angle to line of action = uni pennate, bi pennate and multi pennate
Which muscle type is stronger
Pennate
What do muscles Create
Torques by generating tensile forces
Do muscles always generate motion
Noooo
Only create angular motion = depends on angular torques - muscles and external torques produced by external forces
What are torques dependent on
Forces
Distances from centres of rotation- further = more torque
Biceps brachii movement
Elbow flexor
Triceps brachii movement
Elbow extensor
Resist downward load = what type contraction
Isometric = only resist external torque
Fibres stay the same
Extend arm in controlled manager = what type contraction
Eccentric
Fibres lengthen
Overcome torque to produce actual elbow flex ion = what type contraction
Concentric
Muscle fibres shorten
Tester applies same downwards pressure closer to elbow rather than at hand = how would muscular effort of biceps change during an isometric contraction
Less effort bc closer to Center rotation
Describe flexion
