- 1. Classification of ArticulationsBy Sadie Gordon & Bob
- 3. Classification of jointsFunctionallyFibrousDense Regular Connective TissueCartilaginousCartilageSynovialFluid Filled Joint CavityStructurallySynarthrosisImmobileAmphiarthrosisSlightly Movable JointDiarthrosisFreely Mobile Joint
- 4. Functional Classification SynarthrosisAn Immobile JointAmphiarthrosisSlightly Mobile JointDiarthrosisFreely Mobile Joint
- 5. Structural ClassificationFibrousDense irregular connective tissue that holds bone to bonesNo joint cavityCartilaginousPad of cartilage wedged between bonesNo Joint cavitySynovialEnds of bones are covered with cartilageJoint capsule is lined with synovial fluidAll synovial joints are freely moveable (diarthrotic)
- 8. GomphosisMembranes that holds tooth in the Jaw
- 9. Example tooth in the JawFunctionally classified as Synarthrosis (immobile)
- 10. SutureDense regular connective tissue that connects skull bones
- 12. Functionally Classified as SynarthrosisSyndesmosisDense regular connective tissue fibers between bonesExamples: Syndesmosesare the articulations between the fibula and the fibula, and the radius and the ulnaFunctionally classified as Amphiarthroses(slightly moveable)
- 13. Types of Cartilaginous JointsSynchondrosisSymphysis
- 14. SynchondrosisHyaline cartilage plate between bones
- 15. Examples: Epiphyseal plates, and Costochondral joints
- 16. Functional Classified as SynarthrosisExamples of Synchondrosis Joints
- 17. SymphysisFibrocartilage pad between bones
- 18. Examples: Pubic symphysis, and intervertebral disc
- 19. Functional classified as Amphiarthrosis
- 20. SynovialUniaxialPlane jointHinge JointPivot jointBiaxialCondylar jointSaddle jointMultiaxialBall-and-socket joint
- 22. UniaxialPlane jointFlattened or slightly curved faces slide across on anotherExample: Intercarpal joints & Intertarsal jointsFunctionally Classified as DiarthrosisHinge JointPermits angular movements in a single planeExample: Elbow JointFunctionally Classified as DiarthrosisPivot jointPermits rotation onlyExample: Atlantoaxial jointFunctionally Classified as Diarthrosis
- 23. BiaxialCondylar jointOval articular surface on one bone closely interfaces with a depressed oval surface on another boneExamples: MP jointsFunctionally Classified as DiarthrosisSaddle jointSaddle-shaped articular surface on one bone closely interfaces with depressed surface on another boneExample: Articulation between carpal and first metacarpal boneFunctionally Classified as Diarthrosis
- 24. MultiaxialBall-and-socket jointRound head of one bone rests within cup-shaped depression in another boneExample: Glenohumeral joint, and hip jointFunctionally Classified as Diarthrosis
