Joint classifications
- Structural classification
- Functional classification
Point of contact between two bones
Joint
Structural classification basis
Based on anatomical structures
Criteria for structural classification
- Presence/ Absence of Synovial Joint
- Type of Connective Tissue
Functional classification basis
Based on the type of movement they permit
Criteria for functional classification
Degree of movement
Joints according to structural classifications
- Fibrous
- Cartilaginous

Immovable
Synarthrosis
Slightly movable/ Limited movement
Ampiarthrosis
Freely movable
Diarthrosis
Classified functionally as either synarthrosis or ampiarthrosis
Fibrous joints and Cartilaginous joints
Fibrous joints
- Sutures
- Syndesmoses
- Interosseous Membrane
Found only in the skull
Sutures
Sutures
- Coronal suture
- Squamous suture
- Lamboidal suture
- Sagittal suture
Functional classification depends on one’s age
Sutures
Functional classification of sutures
Immovable (Synarthrosis) in adults;
Slightly movable (ampiarthrosis) in infants (joints need to expand)
More dense irregular CT and arranged as bundle
Syndesmoses
How CTs are arranged in syndesmoses
as bundle (ligament)
Syndesmoses examples

- Gomphosis (synarthrosis)
Gomphosis other term
dentoalveolar joint
Gomphosis articulating bones
Root of teeth & alveolar part of mandible
Only fibrous joint that is functionally classified as ampiarthrosis only
Interosseous membrane
Substantial sheet of dense irregular CT
Interosseous membrane
Binds neighboring long bones
Dense irregular CT
Where are Interosseous membranes found?
Found in parallel long bones of the body (radius-ulna; tibia-fibula)
Cartilaginous Joints
- Synchondroses
- Symphyses
Connecting material of synchondroses
Hyaline cartilage
Functional classification of synchondroses
Immovable (synarthrosis)
Exapmle of synchondroses
Epiphyseal (growth) plate
Costal cartilage
Where is an epiphyseal (growth) plate found?
Found in growing long bone
An epiphyseal (growth) plate becomes a/n —
epiphyseal line
Connecting material of symphyses
Fibrocartilage connective tissue
Functional classification of symphyses
Slightly movable joint (ampiarthrosis)
Example of a symphyses
- Symphysis pubis
- Intervertebral joint
Articulating bones of symphysis pubis
Right and left pubic bones
Functional classification of synovial joints
- Freely movable (Diarthroses)
Ends of articulating bones are covered by articular cartilage (ex. radius-ulna)
Synovial joints
There is a space found in between the articulating bones
Synovial joints
Synovial joints contain a space between bones called the —
synovial cavity
basis for the types of synovial joints
shape of the articulating surface
Shape of plane joint’s articulating surface
flat/slightly curved
Movement of plane joints
GLIDING
Biaxial: back & forth, side-to-side movement
Example of a plane joint
Intercarpal joints
Intertarsal joints
Refers to the line a joint permits/ movement in terms of axis
Axial
Convex (outward) surface fits into concave (inward) surface of another bone
Hinge joint
Motion of hinge joints
Uniaxial: Flexion and extension
Example of a hinge joint
- Elbow joint
- Tibiotalar/ ankle joint
Articulating surfaces of the elbow joint
Convex: humerus;
concave: ulna
Articulating surfaces of the tibiotalar/ ankle joint
Convex: talus;
concave: tibia
Hinge joints have the same appearance as a/n —
door hinge
Projection of bone articulates with a ring or notch of another bone
Pivot joint
Motion of pivot joints
Uniaxial: Rotation
Means that it rotates on its own axis
Uniaxial
Example of a pivot joint
Atlanto-axial joint (C1-C2)
Articulating surfaces of the Atlanto-axial joint (C1-C2)
Ring: C1;
Dens: Projection
Oval-shaped projection fits into oval0shaped depression of another bone (oval-shaped convex and concave)
Condyloid joint
Motion of a condyloid joint
Biaxial: Flexion-extension; abduction-adduction
Example of a condyloid joint
- Metacarpophalangeal joint;
- wrist joint
Articular ends of one bone are saddle-shaped
Saddle
Motion of saddle
Biaxial: Flexion-extension; abduction-adduction
Example of a saddle joint
Carpometacarpal joint
Ball-and-socket motion
Triaxial:
- flexion-extension
- abduction-adduction
- rotation
Only synovial joint considered triaxial
Ball-and-socket
Example of a ball-and-socket
- Glenohumeral (shoulder) joint
- Acetabulofemoral (hip) joint
Articulating bones of the shoulder joint
Glenoid & head of humerus
Movements at synovial joints may indicate (1), (2), or (3) during movement
- form of motion
- direction of movement
- relationship of one body part to another
Movements at synovial joints
Gliding
Angular movements
Rotation
Special movements
Flat bone surfaces move back & forth and from side-to-side (Plane joint)
Gliding
Bones involved in gliding movements
flat bones
Subcategories of gliding movements
- back and forth
- side-to-side
Increase or decrease in the angle between articulating bones
Angular movement
Angular movements
- Flexion
- Extension
- Hyperextension
- Abduction
- Adduction

Flexion: flex → to bend
To stretch out
Extension: exten → to stretch out
Sometimes return to anatomical position ofter flexing
