Classification of Joints Joints or articulations are the functional junctions between bones.  They bind parts of the skeletal system, make bone growth possible, permit the skeleton to change shape during childbirth. Def. ar·tic·u·la·tion 1   :  the action or manner in which the parts come together at a joint  2 :  a joint between bones or cartilages in the vertebrate skeleton that is  immovable/synarthrotic  when the bones are directly united,  slightly movable/amphiarthrotic  when they are united by an intervening substance, or  more or less freely movable/diarthrotic  when the articular surfaces are covered with smooth cartilage and surrounded by an articular capsule that holds the synovial fluid in From:  http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/mplusdictionary.html
Diarthroses Freely movable Synovial :  knee joint Amphiarthroses Partly movable Cartilaginous:   Synchondroses  (Epiphyseal plate; sternocostal joint) Symphyses  (pubis symphysis; intervertebral disks; both with fibrocartilage) Synarthroses No movement ------------------------------------------------ Amphiarthroses Partly movable Fibrous:   Sutures (between cranial plates) Gomphoses (teeth) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Syndesmoses (Tibio-Fibular Joint) FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION STRUCTURAL CLASSIFICATION
Fibrous Joints Fibrous joints:  bound with dense connective tissue, allow little movement. Ex: Syndesmosis -  joined with an interosseous ligament, allow some movement,  amphiarthrotic .  Ex:   tibiofibular articulation (TBF)  distal ends of the tibia and fibula (Fig. 8.1).
Fibrous Joints Ex: Suture-  flat skull bones joined with a sutural ligament ( synarthrotic  or  immoveable  joint).  Figure 8.3
Fibrous Joints Ex: Gomphosis-  teeth anchored to the jaw with a periodontal ligament in a  synarthrotic  joint.  Figure 8.4 – articulation between root and jawbone Periodontal Ligament Bone Root
Cartilaginous Joints Bones connected by cartilaginous joints contain either hyaline or fibrocartilage. There is no fluid  inbetween as in the synovial joint. Synchondrosis:  hyaline cartilage joins the epiphyses to the diaphysis at the epiphyseal disc of long bone (synarthrotic joint); also sternocostal joint,  Ex: Articulation between the first rib and the manubrium of the sternum  (Fig. 8.5). Symphysis:  thin layer of hyaline cartilage with a pad of fibrocartilage in an amphiarthrotic joint.  Ex: Intervertebral disk and  pubic symphysis  (Fig. 8.6).
General Synovial Joint Structure (Fig. 8.7) Articular cartilage:  thin layer of hyaline cartilage lining the ends of the epiphyses. Joint capsule:  two layer capsule, outer layer is dense connective tissue. Synovial membrane:  Inner layer of the joint capsule, vascular loose connective tissue. Ligaments:  collagenous fibers of CT that reinforce the joint capsule. Synovial cavity:  closed sac surrounded by the synovial membrane. Synovial fluid:  clear, viscous fluid that moistens and lubricates articular surfaces. Menisci:  fibrocartilage located between articular surfaces. Bursae:  fluid-filled sacs between the skin and underlying bony prominences.
Figure 8.8 Most diarthrotic joints are synovial joints.  They consist  of articular or hyaline cartilage, joint capsule, and a  synovial membrane which secretes synovial fluid. Tibia Infrapatellar bursa
Ball and Socket:  shoulder, hip Condyloid:  knee (between the two condyles of femur and between the condyle and meniscus of tibia), metacarpals/phalanges Gliding:  knee (patella/femur); elbow (humerus/radius); wrists; ankles Hinge:  elbow (humerus/ulna) Pivot:  atlas/axis Saddle:  thumb (carpals/metacarpals) Types of Synovial Joints (Tab. 8.1)
Types of Synovial Joints (Fig. 8.9) Ball-and-socket joint:  permits movement in all planes,  Ex: hip and shoulder .
Condyloid joint : movement in several planes,  does not allow rotation Ex: metacarpals/ phalanges joint;  knee Types of Synovial Joints (Fig. 8.9)
Gliding joints:  sliding and twisting movements Ex:  wrist and ankle; knee; elbow. Types of Synovial Joints (Fig. 8.9)
Hinge joint:  movement in one plane like a door hinge Ex:  elbow (humerus/ ulna) Types of Synovial Joints (Fig. 8.9)
Pivot joint:  rotation around a central axis Ex:  atlas/ axis   joint Types of Synovial Joints (Fig. 8.9)
Saddle joint:  movements in two planes Ex:  thumb (carpals/ metacarpals) Types of Synovial Joints (Fig. 8.9)
Flexion/Extension:  elbow, knee Hyperextension:  hand at wrist Dorsiflexion/Plantar flexion:  foot at ankle Abduction/adduction:  limbs away and toward trunk midline Rotation:  moving a part around an axis, maximally at 90 o Circumduction:  moving a part in a 360 o  circle that is anchored in a ball-and-socket joint Supination/Pronation:  “thumbs up” so that palm faces anterioly; “thumbs down” so that palm faces posteriorly Eversion/Inversion:  sole faces laterally outward and periphally  v.  sole faces laterally inward and medially Joint Movements (textbook, p. 261)
Joint Movements (Fig. 8.10) Flexion:  bending at a joint decreasing the angle,  Ex:  bending the lower leg at the knee Extension:  straightening a joint increasing the angle,  Ex:  straightening the leg at the knee
Hyper-extension:  excess extension beyond anatomical position Ex : bending  the head back Joint Movements (Fig. 8.10)
Dorsiflexion:  bending the foot upward at the ankle Plantar flexion:  bending the foot downward at the ankle Joint Movements (Fig. 8.10)
Abduction:  moving a part away from midline,  Ex:  lifting the arm at the shoulder Adduction:  moving a part toward midline,  Ex:  lowering the arm at the shoulder Joint Movements (Fig. 8.10)
Rotation:  moving a part around an axis, ex: twisting the head from side to side Circumduction:  moving a part so the end moves in a circular path, ex: moving the finger in a circle without moving the hand Joint Movements (Fig. 8.11)
Supination:  turning the palm upward Pronation:  turning the palm downward Joint Movements (Fig. 8.11)
Eversion:  turning the foot so the sole faces laterally Inversion:  turning the foot so the sole faces medially Protraction:  moving a part forward Joint Movements (Fig. 8.12)
Examples of Synovial Joints Ball and socket joint -  rounded head of the humerus and the glenoid cavity of the scapula; the joint capsule is loose; muscles and tendons reinforce the joint. Wide range of movements  - flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation, and circumduction Ligaments -  coracohumeral, glenohumeral, transverse humeral, and glenoid labrum Bursae -  subscapular, subdeltoid, subacromial, subcorocoid  Shoulder Joint
Figure 8.14
Figure 8.14b
Elbow Joint The elbow joint includes two articulations. Hinge joint  between the troclea of the humerus and the trochlear notch of the ulna. Gliding joint  between the capitulum of the humerus and a fovea on the radius head. Movements include  flexion and extension  between the humerus and ulna. The radius allows  rotation and supination  of the hand. Ligaments  include the ulnar collateral and the radial collateral ligament.
Figure 8.16
Figure 8.16b
Hip Joint Ball and socket  joint consisting of the head of the femur and the acetabulum of the coxal bones; muscles surround the joint capsule Movements:  flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation, and circumduction Ligaments:  iliofemoral, pubofemoral, ischiofemoral ligaments
Figure 8.19b
Figure 8.19
Knee Joint Most complex synovial joint:  it consists of the medial and lateral condyles at the proximal end of the tibia; the femur articulates with the patella. The joint capsule is thin and strengthened by  muscles and tendons . Ligaments : patella, oblique popliteal,arcuate popliteal, tibial collateral, fibular collateral ligament strengthen the joint capsule. Cruciate ligaments  prevent displacement of articulating surfaces. Two fibrocartilaginous menisci  separate the articulating surfaces.
Figure 8.21a
Figure 8.21b
Life-Span Changes Joint stiffness  occurs due to a change in collagen structure with age. Synovial joints  become infiltrated with fibrous material and cartilage; they stiffen and loose elasticity over a lifetime. Figure 8.B -  Clin. Appl. 8.2
Life-Span Changes (Fig. 8.22) Synchondroses disappear  over time as part of skeletal growth and development. Symphysis joints may lose water. Flexibility   may decrease .
