  2. Joints arewheretwoormorebonesmeet. Theyaredividedintothreetypesdepending on howfreelythebonescanmove. Movement would not bepossiblewithoutthethreejointtypes. 1. Fixed orimmovablejoints Eg. Joints betweencraniumplates. 2. Slightlymoveablejoints Eg. Betweenvertebraeandribs 3. Freelymoveable (synovial) joints Eg. Knee, shoulderandelbowjoints

  3. Fixed orimmovablejoints • Bones cannotmove at all. • They interlock/overlap-held togetherbytoughfibre. • Present in areasrequiringgreatstrength. The joints in thecraniumandsacrum (baseofthespine) aregoodexamples. Sacrum

  4. Slightlymoveablejoints • Limited movement. • Held togetherby strong, whitestrapscalledligamentsandjoinedbycartilage. This actsas a cushionandstopsbonesrubbingtogether. • Eg. Joints betweenyourvertebraeandribs. In thevertebraethecartilageactsasshockabsorberswhenrunningandjumping. • The jointsbetweenyourribsandsternummoveslightlywhenyoubreath in and out.

  5. Freelymoveablejoints Also calledsynovialjoints. They all havetheseparts: Joint capsule: Holds togetherandprotects Synovialmembrane: Lines thecapsuleandcontainssynovial fluid Joint cavity: Small gapbetweenthebones Cartilage: Covers end ofbones Ligaments: Holds bonestogetherandkeepsthem in place Eg.

  6. Freelymoveablejoints (cont) Dividedintofourtypes: 1) Ball/socket, 2) Hinge, 3) Pivot 4) Gliding Ball and Socket Joint • Most moveablejoint • Onebonehas a ball that fitsinto a socket on the otherone. • Can turn in manydirections. • Eg. Hip andshoulderjoint. Hip jointShoulderjoint

  7. The hinge joint • Works like a hinge on a door. • The bonecan swing backwardsandforwards. • Cotton reelshapedbonefitsinto a hollow on theother. • The joint will open untilitisstraight, but nofurther. • Eg. The elbowandkneejoints

  8. The pivotjoint Onebonehas a bitthatjuts out, like a peg. This fitsinto a ring ornotch on theotherbone. • Limited movement (Onlyrotation). • Eg. Joint betweenatlasandaxis- The top twobonesofyourvertebrae. • The jointbetweentheradiusandtheulna (Bones in yourlowerelbow)

  9. The glidingjoint • The endsoftheboneare flat enoughtoglideovereachother. • Thereis a littlemovement in all directions. • Least movementof all synovialjoints. • Eg. Joints betweencarpals (hand) andtarsals (foot). carpals
