8  Joints: Part B
Classification of Synovial Joints Six types, based on shape of articular surfaces: Plane Hinge Pivot Condyloid Saddle Ball and socket
Plane Joints Nonaxial joints Flat articular surfaces Short gliding movements
Figure 8.7a a b c d e f Nonaxial Uniaxial Biaxial Multiaxial a Plane joint (intercarpal joint)
Hinge Joints Uniaxial joints  Motion along a single plane Flexion and extension only
Figure 8.7b b Hinge joint (elbow joint) a b c d e f Nonaxial Uniaxial Biaxial Multiaxial
Pivot Joints Rounded end of one bone conforms to a “sleeve,” or ring of another bone Uniaxial movement only
Figure 8.7c c Pivot joint (proximal radioulnar joint) a b c d e f Nonaxial Uniaxial Biaxial Multiaxial
Condyloid (Ellipsoidal) Joints Biaxial joints Both articular surfaces are oval Permit all angular movements
Figure 8.7d d Condyloid joint (metacarpophalangeal joint) a b c d e f Nonaxial Uniaxial Biaxial Multiaxial
Saddle Joints Biaxial Allow greater freedom of movement than condyloid joints Each articular surface has both concave and convex areas
Figure 8.7e e Saddle joint (carpometacarpal joint of thumb) a b c d e f Nonaxial Uniaxial Biaxial Multiaxial
Ball-and-Socket Joints Multiaxial joints The most freely moving synovial joints
Figure 8.7f f Ball-and-socket joint (shoulder joint) a b c d e f Nonaxial Uniaxial Biaxial Multiaxial
Knee Joint Largest, most complex joint of body Three joints surrounded by a single joint cavity: Femoropatellar joint: Plane joint Allows gliding motion during knee flexion Lateral and medial tibiofemoral joints between the femoral condyles and the C-shaped lateral and medial menisci (semilunar cartilages) of the tibia Allow flexion, extension, and some rotation when knee is partly flexed PLAY A&P Flix ™: Movement at the knee joint

Knee Joint At least 12 associated bursae Capsule is reinforced by muscle tendons: E.g., quadriceps and semimembranosus tendons Joint capsule is thin and absent anteriorly Anteriorly, the quadriceps tendon gives rise to: Lateral and medial patellar retinacula Patellar ligament
Figure 8.8c Quadriceps femoris muscle Tendon of quadriceps femoris muscle Patella Lateral patellar retinaculum Medial patellar retinaculum Tibial collateral ligament Tibia Fibular collateral ligament Fibula (c) Anterior view of right knee Patellar ligament
Knee Joint Capsular and extracapsular ligaments Help prevent hyperextension Intracapsular ligaments:  Anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments Prevent anterior-posterior displacement Reside outside the synovial cavity

Shoulder Joint Reinforcing ligaments: Coracohumeral ligament—helps support the weight of the upper limb Three glenohumeral ligaments—somewhat weak anterior reinforcements
Shoulder joint Reinforcing muscle tendons: Tendon of the long head of biceps: Travels through the intertubercular groove  Secures the humerus to the glenoid cavity Four rotator cuff tendons encircle the shoulder joint: Subscapularis Supraspinatus Infraspinatus Teres minor PLAY A&P Flix ™: Rotator cuff muscles: An overview (a) PLAY A&P Flix ™: Rotator cuff muscles: An overview (b)

Hip (Coxal) Joint Ball-and-socket joint Head of the femur articulates with the acetabulum Good range of motion, but limited by the deep socket  Acetabular labrum—enhances depth of socket PLAY A&P Flix ™: Movement at the hip joint: An overview

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Mandibular condyle articulates with the temporal bone Two types of movement Hinge—depression and elevation of mandible Gliding—e.g. side-to-side (lateral excursion) grinding of teeth Most easily dislocated joint in the body
Figure 8.13a Zygomatic process Mandibular fossa Articular tubercle Infratemporal fossa External acoustic meatus Articular capsule Ramus of mandible  Lateral ligament  (a) Location of the joint in the skull

Figure 8.13c Lateral excursion: lateral (side-to-side) movements of the mandible Outline of the mandibular fossa Superior view
Common Joint Injuries Sprains The ligaments are stretched or torn Partial tears slowly repair themselves Complete ruptures require prompt surgical repair Cartilage tears Due to compression and shear stress Fragments may cause joint to lock or bind Cartilage rarely repairs itself Repaired with arthroscopic surgery
Figure 8.14 Torn meniscus
Common Joint Injuries Dislocations (luxations) Occur when bones are forced out of alignment Accompanied by sprains, inflammation, and joint immobilization Caused by serious falls or playing sports  Subluxation—partial dislocation of a joint
Inflammatory and Degenerative Conditions Bursitis An inflammation of a bursa, usually caused by a blow or friction Treated with rest and ice and, if severe, anti-inflammatory drugs Tendonitis Inflammation of tendon sheaths typically caused by overuse Symptoms and treatment similar to bursitis
Arthritis >100 different types of inflammatory or degenerative diseases that damage joints Most widespread crippling disease in the U.S. Symptoms; pain, stiffness, and swelling of a joint Acute forms: caused by bacteria, treated with antibiotics Chronic forms: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gouty arthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) Common, irreversible, degenerative (“wear-and-tear”) arthritis 85% of all Americans develop OA, more women than men Probably related to the normal aging process
Osteoarthritis (OA) More cartilage is destroyed than replaced in badly aligned or overworked joints Exposed bone ends thicken, enlarge, form bone spurs, and restrict movement Treatment: moderate activity, mild pain relievers, capsaicin creams, glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune disease of unknown cause  Usually arises between age 40 and 50, but may occur at any age; affects 3 times as many women as men Signs and symptoms include joint pain and swelling (usually bilateral), anemia, osteoporosis, muscle weakness, and cardiovascular problems
Rheumatoid Arthritis  RA begins with synovitis of the affected joint Inflammatory blood cells migrate to the joint, release inflammatory chemicals  Inflamed synovial membrane thickens into a pannus Pannus erodes cartilage, scar tissue forms, articulating bone ends connect (ankylosis)
Figure 8.15
Rheumatoid Arthritis: Treatment Conservative therapy: aspirin, long-term use of antibiotics, and physical therapy Progressive treatment: anti-inflammatory drugs or immunosuppressants  New biological response modifier drugs neutralize inflammatory chemicals
Gouty Arthritis Deposition of uric acid crystals in joints and soft tissues, followed by inflammation More common in men  Typically affects the joint at the base of the great toe In untreated gouty arthritis, the bone ends fuse and immobilize the joint Treatment: drugs, plenty of water, avoidance of alcohol
Lyme Disease Caused by bacteria transmitted by the bites of ticks Symptoms: skin rash, flu-like symptoms, and foggy thinking May lead to joint pain and arthritis Treatment: antibiotics
Developmental Aspects of Joints By embryonic week 8, synovial joints resemble adult joints A joint’s size, shape, and flexibility are modified by use  Advancing years take their toll on joints: Ligaments and tendons shorten and weaken Intervertebral discs become more likely to herniate Most people in their 70s have some degree of OA Exercise that coaxes joints through their full range of motion is key to postponing joint problems
