Lecture 2 Flashcards
Classification of joints
Synovial
Fibrous
Cartilaginous
Synovial joints
joint capsule made of outer fibrous layer and lined by serous synovial membrane
capsule encloses to joint cavity
articular cartilage covers articular surfaces, other surfaces have synovial membranes
Types of synovial joints
Plane
hinge
saddle
condyloid
ball and socket
pivot
Unilateral joints
hinge
pivot
Plane joints
permit gliding or sliding
tight joint capsule limit movement
acromioclavicular joint
Hinge joint
flexion and extension only
single axis
capsule thin
collateral ligaments reinforce strength of joint
elbow joint
Saddle joint
abduction, adduction, flexion, extension
two axes at right angles
biaxial
carpometacarpal joint
Condyloid joints
flexion, extension, abduction, adduction
biaxial
movement in one plane is greater than other
metacarpophalangeal joint
Ball and socket joints
movement in multiple planes and axis
highly mobile
hip joint
Pivot joints
uniaxial
permit rotation around central axis
atlanto-axial joint (in the neck)
Fibrous Joints
bones united by fibrous tissue
length of fibrous tissue determines movement at the joint
suture, teeth
Syndesmosis
bones united by either a ligament or fibrous membrane
radius/ulna
Cartilaginous Joints
united by hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage
Primary/synchondroses
Secondary/symphyses
Primary Cartilaginous Joints
synchondroses
bones united by hyaline cartilage
usually temporary
Secondary
Symphyses
bones united by fibrocartilage
strong, slightly movable
Arthokinematics
articular movement within the joint itself
includes rolling, gliding, sliding, spinning, compression, traction.
Osteokinematics
Gross movements of the bone at the joint
where is the bone going, directions of bone within a movement
You can’t have a roll without a
glide
Concave fixed
Convex surface rolls and glides in opposite directions
Convex fixed
concave surface rolls and glides in the same direction
Open chain
distal end is free
Closed chain
distal end is fixed
