  1. Joints • Joints and their classification • bony joints • fibrous joints • cartilaginous joints • Synovial joints

  2. Joints and Their Classification • Arthrology = study of the joints • Kinesiology = study of musculoskeletal movement • Classified by freedom of movement • diarthrosis (freely movable) • amphiarthrosis (slightly movable) • synarthrosis (little or no movement) • Classified how adjacent bones are joined • fibrous, cartilaginous, bony or synovial

  3. Bony Joint (Synostosis) • Gap between two bones ossifies • frontal and mandibular bones in infants • cranial sutures in elderly • attachment of first rib and sternum • Can occur in either fibrous or cartilaginous joint

  4. Fibrous Joints (Synarthrosis) • Collagen fibers span the space between bones • sutures, gomphoses and syndesmoses

  5. Fibrous Joint -- Sutures • Immovable fibrous joints • bind skull bones together • Lap - overlapping beveled edges • Plane - straight, nonoverlapping edges • palatine processes of the maxillae

  6. Types of Sutures

  7. Fibrous Joint -- Gomphoses • Attachment of a tooth to its socket • Held in place by fibrous periodontal ligament • collagen fibers attach tooth to jawbone • Some movement while chewing

  8. Fibrous Joint -- Syndesmosis • Two bones bound by ligament only • interosseus membrane • Most movable of fibrous joints • Interosseus membranes unite radius to ulna and tibia to fibula

  9. Cartilaginous Joint -- Synchondrosis • Bones are joined by hyaline cartilage • rib attachment to sternum • epiphyseal plate in children binds epiphysis and diaphysis

  10. Cartilaginous Joint -- Symphysis • 2 bones joined by fibrocartilage • pubic symphysis and intervertebral discs • Only slight amount of movement is possible

  11. Synovial Joint • Joint in which two bones are separated by a space called a joint cavity • Most are freely movable

  12. General Anatomy • Articular capsule encloses joint cavity • continuous with periosteum • lined by synovial membrane • Synovial fluid = slippery fluid; feeds cartilages • Articular cartilage = hyaline cartilage covering the joint surfaces • Articular discs and menisci • jaw, wrist, sternoclavicular and knee joints • absorbs shock, guides bone movements and distributes forces • Tendon attaches muscle to bone • Ligament attaches bone to bone

  13. Tendon Sheaths and Bursae • Bursa = saclike extension of joint capsule • between nearby structures so slide more easily past each other • Tendon sheaths = cylinders of connective tissue lined with synovial membrane and wrapped around a tendon

  14. Range of Motion • Degrees through which a joint can move • Determined by • structure of the articular surfaces • strength and tautness of ligaments, tendons and capsule • stretching of ligaments increases range of motion • double-jointed people have long or slack ligaments • action of the muscles and tendons • nervous system monitors joint position and muscle tone

  15. Axes of Rotation • Shoulder joint has 3 degrees of freedom = multiaxial joint • Other joints – monoaxial or biaxial

  16. Types of Synovial Joints

  17. Ball-and-Socket Joints • Smooth hemispherical head fits within a cuplike depression • head of humerus into glenoid cavity of scapula • head of femur into acetabulum of hip bone • Multiaxial joint

  18. Condyloid (ellipsoid) Joints • Oval convex surface on one bone fits into a similarly shaped depression on the next • radiocarpal joint of the wrist • metacarpophalangeal joints at the bases of the fingers • Biaxial joints

  19. Saddle Joints • Each articular surface is shaped like a saddle, concave in one direction and convex in the other • trapeziometacarpal joint at the base of the thumb • Biaxial joint • more movable than a condyloid or hinge joint forming the primate opposable thumb

  20. Gliding Joints • Flat articular surfaces in which bones slide over each other • Limited monoaxial joint • Considered amphiarthroses

  21. Hinge Joints • One bone with convex surface that fits into a concave depression on other bone • ulna and humerus at elbow joint • femur and tibia at knee joint • finger and toe joints • Monoaxial joint

  22. Pivot Joints • One bone has a projection that fits into a ringlike ligament of another • First bone rotates on its longitudinal axis relative to the other • atlantoaxial joint (dens and atlas) • proximal radioulnar joint allows the radius during pronation and supination

  23. Arthritis • Arthritis is a broad term for pain and inflammation • Osteoarthritis results from years of joint wear • articular cartilage softens and degenerates • accompanied by crackling sounds called crepitus • bone spurs develop on exposed bone tissue causing pain

  24. Arthritis and Artificial Joints • Rheumatoid arthritis is autoimmune attack on joint • antibodies attack synovial membrane, enzymes in synovial fluid degrade the cartilage, bones ossify • remissions occur, steroids and aspirin control inflammation • Arthroplasty is replacement of diseased joint with artificial device called prosthesis
