The Joints of the
Skeleton System
IKRAMULLAH
WIAQARULLAH
JOINTS
Joints or articulations are functional junction between
bones…or the site where two bones meet.
They bind parts of the skeletal system, make possible bone
growth, permit parts of the skeleton to change shape during
childbirth, and enable the body to move in response to
skeletal muscle contractions.
JOINTS
Joints can also be
grouped according to
the degree of
movement possible
at the bony junction.
Synarthrotic –
Immovable joints
Amphiarthrotic-
Slightly moveable
Diarthrotic- Freely
movable.
JOINTS
Joints vary considerably in
structure and function
However, they can be
classified by the type of
tissue that binds the bones
at each junction.
Three general groups
are:
Fibrous joints
Cartilaginous Joints
Synovial Joints
Fibrous Joints
Fibrous Joints- are so named because of the fibrous
tissue that holds them together
In a fibrous joint there is no joint cavity present.
Most fibrous joints are immovable.
They lie between bones that closely contact one
another.
Fibrous Joints
Three types of fibrous
joints:
Syndesmosis-Distal end of
the tibia and fibula
Suture- only between flat
bones in the skull
Gomphosis- root of a tooth
to the jawbone
Cartilaginous Joints
Cartilaginous Joints- Hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage
connect the bones of this joint.
Two Types are:
Synchondrosis (the articulation between the first rib and the
manubrum)
Symphysis (the smyphiysis pubis in the pelvis)
Cartilaginous Joints
Cartilaginous Joints
SYNOVIAL JOINTS
Most joints of the skeletal system are synovial joints,
and because they allow free movement, they are
diarthrotic.
These joints are more complex structurally than fibrous
or cartilaginous joints.
SYNOVIAL JOINTS
Synovial Joint have five distinguishing features.
1. Articular Cartilage is present at the ends of the opposing
bones
2. Joint Cavity (synovial) is present. This is really just
potential space that contains fluid.
3. Articular capsule (aka joint capsule). This encloses the
joint cavity.
4. Synovial Fluid- is present and occupies the space within
the joint capsule.
5. Reinforcing Ligaments – Synovial joints are reinforced
and strengthened by a number of bandlike ligaments.
Bursae and Tendon Sheaths
Not strictly associated with
synovial joints but are
often found associated with
them.
Bursae are flattened fibrous
sacs lined with synovial
membrane and containing a
thin film of synovial fluid.
Tendon Sheath is essentially
an elongated bursa that wraps
completely around a tendon
subjected to friction.
Bursae and Tendon Sheaths
SYNOVIAL JOINTS
6 Types
Ball and Socket
The Ball and Socket joint
consists of a bone with a
globular or slightly egg-
shaped head the articulates
with the cup-shaped cavity
of another.
Such joint allows a wider
range of motion than does
any other kind.
Permitting movements in
all planes, as well as
rotation movement around
a central axis.
Ball and Socket
Examples: Hip and
Shoulder contain joints
of this type.
Condyloid Joint
Condyloid joint, the
oval condyle of one
bone fits into the
elliptical cavity of
another bones.
This type of joints
permits a variety of
movements in
different planes;
rotational movement,
however, is NOT
possible.
Condyloid Joint
Condyloid Joint exists
between the metacarpals
and the phalanges.
And the radio carpal (wrist)
joints.
GLIDING JOINTS
(aka Plane Joints)
The articulating
surfaces of gliding
joints are nearly
flat or slightly
curved.
These joints allow
sliding or back-
and-forth motion
and twisting
movements.
Most of the joints within the
wrist and ankle.
The articular processes of
adjacent vertebrae.
Joints formed by ribs 2-7
connecting the sternum are
also gliding joints.
GLIDING JOINTS
(aka Plane Joints)
HINGE JOINT
In a hinge joint, the
convex surface of
one bone fits into the
concave surface of
another.
Such a joint
resembles the hinge
of a door in that it
permits movement in
one plane only.
HINGE JOINT
The elbow and
the joints of the
phalanges.
PIVOT JOINT
In a pivot joint, the
cylindrical surface on
one bone rotates within
a ring formed on bone
and fibrous tissue of a
ligament.
Movement at such a
joint is limited to
rotation around a
central axis.
PIVOT JOINT
The joint between
the proximal ends of
the radius and the
ulna.
A pivot joint
functions in the neck
as the head turns
from side to side.
SADDLE JOINT
A saddle joint forms
between bones whose
articulating surfaces
have both concave and
convex regions. The
surface on one bone fits
the complementary
surface of another.
This physical
relationship permits
a variety of
movements, mainly
in two planes.
SADDLE JOINT
The joint between
the carpal and the
metacarpal of the
thumb.
Movements Allowed by
Synovial Joints
Every skeletal muscle of the body is attached to bone or
other connective tissue structures at no fewer than two
points
The muscles origin is attached to the immovable ( or less
moveable ) bone.
Its other end, the insertion, is attached to the moveable
bone.
Gliding Movements
AKA as translation, are the simplest joint
movements.
Back and forth or side to side!
Angular Movements
Angular Movements increase or decrease an angle
between two bones.
Flexion
Flexion- Bending
movement, that decreases
the angel of the joint and
bring the articulating bones
closer together
Ex: bending the head
forward on the chest;
bending the knee from a
straight to an angled
position.
Extension
Extension- opposite of
flexion, that increases the
angel of the joint and
brings the articulating
bones farther apart.
Ex: Straightening a flexed
Hyperextension
Hyperextension- Bending
part of the body past its
straight upright position.
Abduction/Adduction
Adduction- Moving a part
toward the midline.
(returning into the side of the
body)
Abduction- Moving a part
away from the body.
Circumduction
Circumduction- - Moving a
limb so that it describes a
cone in space.
The quickest way to exercise
the many muscles that move
the hip and shoulder ball and
socket joints.
.
Dorsiflexion and Plantar Flexion
of the Foot
Dorsiflexion- Lifting the foot so that its superior surface
approaches the shin.
Dorsiflexion and Plantar Flexion
of the Foot
Plantar Flexion- depressing the foot or pointing the
toes.
Special Movements
Some movements do NOT fit into a specific
category and occur only at a few joints.
They are illustrated in the next few slides.
Rotation
Rotation- The turning of a
bone around its own long
axis.
It is the only movement
allowed between the C1
and C2 vertebra
Common at the hip and
shoulder joint.
Supination and Pronation
Both of these refer to movement of the radius around the
ulna.
Supination meaning “turning backwards”..rotate the
arm so the palm is facing anteriorly
Pronation- meaning turning forward…rotate the arm so
the palm is facing posteriorly.
Supination and Pronation
Inversion and Eversion
Both of these refer to
special movement of the
foot.
Inversion- the sole of the
foot turns medially
Eversion- the sole faces
laterally..
Protraction and Retraction
Nonangular anterior and
posterior movements in a
transverse plane.
The mandible is protracted
when you jut out your jaw.
And retracted when you
move it back to its original
position.
Elevation and Depression
Elevate- lifting a body part
superiorly. (shrugging your
shoulders)
Depression is moving the
elevated part inferiorly.
Chewing your food is alternately
both elevation and depression.
Opposition
Opposition – found in the
saddle joint between the
metacarpal and the carpals.
This is the action taken
when you touch your
thumb to the tips of the
other fingers on the same
hand.
.

The Knee
The knee joint is the largest and most complex joint
in the body.
It allows flexion, extension, and some rotation.
It is actually composed of 3 separate joints.
The Knee
the joints of the skeleton system nl.ppt
When your Joints hurt!!
Usually we don’t think about joints until we have a
problem and they begin to hurt us.
This can be caused by trauma, inflammation, and/or
arthritis.
Sprains!!
Sprain- the ligaments reinforcing a
joint are stretched or torn.
Lumbar region of the spine, ankle
and knee are common.
Ligaments heal very slowly because
they are poorly vascularized.
Cartilage is avascular and it rarely
can obtain sufficient nourishment to
repair itself. It usually stays torn.
Sprains!!
Cartilage fragments can interfere with joint function by
causing joints to lock or bind. So most sports
physicians recommend that the central par of a
damaged cartilage be removed.
This can be done by arthroscopic surgery.
Arthroscopic surgery.
Dislocation
A dislocation occurs when bones
are forced out of alignment.
Usually accompanies sprains,
inflammation, and joint
immobilization
Repeat dislocation of the same
joint are common because the
initial dislocation stretches the
joint capsule and ligaments.
Bursitis/Tendonitis
Bursitis is inflammation of a
bursa and is usually caused by
a blow or friction
Tendonitis is inflammation of
tendon sheaths, typically
caused by overuse.
Treatments for both
include…rest, ice, and anti-
inflammatory drugs.
Osteoarthritis
It is the most common chronic
arthritis
It is chronic degenerative, often
called “wear and tear” arthritis.
Normal in the aging process
The normal joint use prompts the
release of enzymes that break
down articular cartilage.
The result is softened, roughened,
pitted, and eroded articular
cartilages.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
It is not as common but still effects millions.
Effect women more than men, usually between the ages of 40-50
In early stages joint tenderness and stiffness are common
Usually effects small joints like wrist, ankles, fingers, and feet.
Has both flare ups and remissions
Rheumatoid Arthritis
RA- is an autoimmune disease-
a disorder in which the body’s
immune system attacks its own
tissue.
Unknown cause but suspects
include bacterium and viruses.
Synovial fluid can increase
Gouty Arthritis
The symptoms of gout are almost
always acute and sudden,
happening often at night with no
warning. Symptoms in the
affected joints may include:
Intense pain
Swelling
Tenderness
Redness
One of the oldest known diseases, gout was once considered "the
disease of kings" because it was associated with those wealthy
enough to overindulge in rich food and drink.
In fact gout is a complex disorder that can affect anyone and does
affect more than 2 million Americans.
