4. An Introduction to Articulations • Articulations • Body movement occurs at joints (articulations) where two bones connect • Joint Structure • Determines direction and distance of movement (range of motion or ROM) • Joint strength decreases as mobility increases

5. 9-1 Classification of Joints • Two Methods of Classification • Functional classification is based on range of motion of the joint • Structural classificationrelies on the anatomical organization of the joint

6. 9-1 Classification of Joints • Functional Classifications • Synarthrosis (immovable joint) • Amphiarthrosis (slightly movable joint) • Diarthrosis (freely movable joint)

7. 9-1 Classification of Joints • Structural Classifications • Bony • Fibrous • Cartilaginous • Synovial

11. 9-1 Classification of Joints • Synarthroses (Immovable Joints) • Are very strong • Edges of bones may touch or interlock • Four types of synarthrotic joints • Suture • Gomphosis • Synchondrosis • Synostosis

12. 9-1 Classification of Joints • Suture • Bones interlocked • Are bound by dense fibrous connective tissue • Are found only in skull • Gomphosis • Fibrous connection (periodontal ligament) • Binds teeth to sockets

13. 9-1 Classification of Joints • Synchondrosis • Is a rigid cartilaginous bridge between two bones • Epiphyseal cartilage of long bones • Between vertebrosternal ribs and sternum • Synostosis • Fused bones, immovable • Metopic suture of skull • Epiphyseal lines of long bones

14. 9-1 Classification of Joints • Amphiarthroses • More movable than synarthrosis • Stronger than freely movable joint • Two types of amphiarthroses • Syndesmosis • Bones connected by ligaments • Symphysis • Bones separated by fibrocartilage

15. 9-1 Classification of Joints • Synovial Joints (Diarthroses) • Also called movable joints • At ends of long bones • Within articular capsules • Lined with synovial membrane

16. 9-2 Synovial Joints • Articular Cartilages • Pad articulating surfaces within articular capsules • Prevent bones from touching • Smooth surfaces lubricated by synovial fluid • Reduce friction

17. 9-2 Synovial Joints • Synovial Fluid • Contains slippery proteoglycans secreted by fibroblasts • Functions of synovial fluid • Lubrication • Nutrient distribution • Shock absorption

18. 9-2 Synovial Joints • Accessory Structures • Cartilages • Fat pads • Ligaments • Tendons • Bursae

19. 9-2 Synovial Joints • Cartilages • Cushion the joint • Fibrocartilage pad called a meniscus (or articular disc; plural, menisci) • Fat Pads • Superficial to the joint capsule • Protect articular cartilages • Ligaments • Support, strengthen joints • Sprain – ligaments with torn collagen fibers

20. 9-2 Synovial Joints • Tendons • Attach to muscles around joint • Help support joint • Bursae • Singular, bursa, a pouch • Pockets of synovial fluid • Cushion areas where tendons or ligaments rub

21. 9-2 Synovial Joints • Factors That Stabilize Synovial Joints • Prevent injury by limiting range of motion • Collagen fibers (joint capsule, ligaments) • Articulating surfaces and menisci • Other bones, muscles, or fat pads • Tendons of articulating bones

24. 9-2 Synovial Joints • Injuries • Dislocation (luxation) • Articulating surfaces forced out of position • Subluxation • A partial dislocation • Sprain • Tear in a ligament due to joint being carried through ROM greater than normal but without dislocation or fracture • Strain • Tear in a muscle

25. 9-3 Movements • Three Types of Dynamic Motion • Linear movement (gliding) • Angular movement • Rotation • Planes (Axes) of Dynamic Motion • Monaxial (1 axis) • Biaxial (2 axes) • Triaxial (3 axes)
