Joint/Articulation
Classified by:•Structure (composition)•Function (range of motion)
Types of Joints
• Synarthosis –– Immovable Joints; usually joined by strong fibers– No joint cavity
• Examples: sutures, joint binding tooth to socket, growth plate
Amphiarthrosis• No joint cavity• Slightly movable joint• Composed of fibrous joints• Composed of cartilage joints• Example: Fibrous – Membrane between
radius and ulna
Examples: CartilageVertebra Discs, Pubic Symphysis
Diarthrosis/Synovial Joint
•Greater range of motion•Joint cavity is present•Contains synovial fluid
• Six General Characteristics– Articular Cartilage• Covered with hyaline cartilage
– Joint Cavity• Space filled with synovial
fluid– Articular capsule• Fibrous capsule found on the
periosteum of long bones– Synovial fluid• Viscous fluid contains
macrophages• lubricates
– Reinforcing ligaments– Fat Pads• Extra padding
Types of Synovial Joints
Pivot Joints• Allows for rotation• One bone rotates around
another
ExamplesAtlas and axis; Radius and ulna
Hinge Joints• One bone fits into another• Motion is along a single
plane
Examples: knee and elbow, phalanges
Ball and Socket
• Freely moving joint• Head of bone articulates
with fossa of another
Examples: glenoid fossa and humerous; acetabulum and femur
Gliding• Bones slide across one
another• Bones must have flattened
or curved faces to glide• Movement is limited
Examples: carpals, tarsals, between vertebra
Saddle• Shape resembles saddle• Permits angular motion;
including circumduction but not rotation
Examples: Thumb
Types of Movement
Gliding- two or more bones slide past each other
• Rotation – turning around the longitudinal axis of body– Pronation and
supination are a form of rotation
• Pronation- turn palms posterior
• Supination – turn palms anterior (Anatomical position)
• Terms only apply to movement of radius
Angular Movements -decrease or increase the angle between two bones
• Flexion – decreases the angle between two bones
• Extension – increases the angle between two bones
• Hyperextension – increase the angle by > 180°
Angular Movementsflexion, extension, adduction, abduction and
circumduction
• Abduction – move away from body’s midline– To be abducted
• Adduction – move toward body’s midline– Add to body
• Circumduction – cone- shaped movement
• Dorsiflexion – point the toe up (superior)
• Plantar flexion – point the toe down (inferior)
• Eversion – turn ankle laterally
• Inversion- turn ankle medially (most common way to twist ankle)
• Protraction- move body part anteriorly
• Retraction- move body part posteriorlyProtraction
Retraction
Elevation – movement of the body superiorly
Depression – movement of the body inferiorly
