Structural Classification
- Fibrous
- Immovable
- Cartilaginous
- Immovable or slightly movable
- Most amphiarthrotic
- Synovial
Fibrous Joints
- Bones united by fibrous tissue
- Permit little movement
Types of Fibrous Joints
- Suture
- Occurs between adjacent bones in cranium
- Gomphosis
- Teeth in sockets of maxilla and mandible
- Peg in a socket
- Connects bone of jaw to tooth by periodontal ligaments (fibrous connective tissue)
- Syndesmosis
- Longer connecting fibers
- Joint more give
- Distal radius and ulna or distal tibia and fibula
Cartilaginous Joints
- Bone ends connected by cartilage
- Amphiarthrotic
- Pubic symphysis
- Intertevertebral joints
- Synarthrotic
- Hyaline cartilage epiphyseal plates
- Cartilaginous joints between 1st ribs and sternum
Examples of Cartilaginous Joints
- Phase of development of skeleton
- Epiphyseal plate
- Immovable joint
- Eventually fuses to form a single bone
- Articulation between true ribs and sternum by costal cartilages
- Hyaline cartilage binds ribs to sternum
- Somewhat move
Examples of Cartilaginous Joints
- Symphysis
- Fibrocartilaginous pad
- Between pubic bones
- Intervertebral discs
- Allow some movement
- Endure more physical stress
- Fibrocartilage endures greater stress than hyaline cartilage
Synovial Joints
- Articulating bone ends separated by joint cavity
- Contains synovial fluid
Synovial Joints
- Articular Cartilage
- Hyaline cartilage covers ends of bones
- Fibrous Articular Capsule
- Capsule fibrous connective tissue encloses joint surface
- Lined w/ snyovial membrane
- Joint Cavity
- Contains synovial fluid
- Reinforcing ligaments
Modified Synovial Structures
- Bursae
- Flattened fibrous sacs
- Lined w/ synovial membrane
- Synovial fluid
- Ligaments, muscles, skin, tendons, bone rub together
- Tendon Sheaths
- Elongated bursea
- Wraps around tendon
- Subjected to friction
Types of Synovial Joints
- Plane
- Hinge
- Pivot
- Condyloid
- Saddle
- Ball and socket
Synovial Joints Classified by Movement
- Classified based on type of movement they allow between articulating bones
- Least movable to most movable
Plane Joints
- Gliding Joints
- Allow movement between two flat surfaces
- Nonaxial
- Gliding does not involve rotation
- Intertarsal or intercarpal joints
Hinge Joints
- Cylindrical end of bone fits into trough-shaped surface on another bone
- Angular movement
- Uniaxial
- Movement in one plane
- Elbow, knee, between phalanges of fingers
- Increase or decrease angle of two bones
Pivot Joints
- Rounded end of one bone fits into sleeve of bone
- Uniaxial joints
- Allow for rotational movement between two bones
- Movement of atlas and axis when moving head “no”
- Proximal radioulnar joint
Condyloid Joints
- Egg shaped articular surface of one bone fits into oval concavity of another
- Movement side to side and back and forth
- Cannot rotate
- Biaxial
- Knuckle
Saddle Joints
- Articular surface convex and concave surfaces
- Biaxial joint
- Carpometacarpal joints in thumb
Ball and Socket Joints
- Spherical head one bone fits into round socket of another
- Multiaxial joints
- Movement in all axes
- Freely moving
- Least stable
Monaxial Joints
- Move only in one plane
- Hinge
- Pivot
- Gliding joints
Biaxial Joints
- Move in two planes
- Condyloid
- Saddle joints
Multiaxial Joints
- Move in many planes
- Ball and socket joints
Dislocation
- Bone forced out of normal position in joint cavity
- Reduction
- Returning bone to proper position
Inflammatory Disorders of Joints
- Bursititis
- Sprain
- Arthritis
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Gouty arthritis
Bursitis
- Water on knee
- Inflammation of bursae or synovial membrane
Sprain
- Ligaments or tendons reinforcing joint damaged
- Excessive stretching
- Torn away from bone
- Dense C.T.
- Poor blood supply
- Heal slowly, painful
Arthritis
- 100 different inflammatory or degenerative diseases damage joints
- Most widespread crippling disease in US
- 1 in 7
- Symptoms
- Pain
- Stiffness
- Swelling joint
Acute Arthritis
- Bacterial invasion
- Treated w/ antibiotics
- Synovial membrane thickens
- Fluid production decreases
- Increased friction and pain
Chronic Arthritis
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid
- Gouty
Osteoarthritis
- Most common
- Aged
- Wear and tear
- Articular cartilage
- Softening, fraying, breakdown of cartilage
- Exposed bone thickens
- Bone spurs protrude into joint cavity
- Restricts joint movement
- Cervical and lumbar joints
- Knees
- Hips
- Slow, irreversible
- Rarely crippling
Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Chronic inflammatory disorder
- 40-50 years age
- 3x many women
- Fingers, wrists, ankles, feet affected same time
- Remissions and flare-ups
- Autoimmune disease
- Body’s immune system destroys tissue
- Initial trigger unknown
- Inflammation synovial membrane
- Thickens joints swell
- Synovial fluid accumulates
- Wbc produce abnormal tissue
- Cartilage destroyed
- Scar tissue connects bone ends
- Ossifies
- Aspirin, cyclosporin
Gouty Arthritis
- Uric acid accumulates in blood
- Deposited as crystals in joints
- Usually affects one joint
- Big toe
- Common males after 30
- Bone ends fuse
- Joint immobilized
- Lose weight
- Avoid foods high in nucleic acids
- Liver, kidneys, sardines
- Avoid alcohol
- Prevents kidney from excreting uric acid
Development of Skeletal System
- Long bones formed of hyaline cartilage
- Fetus
- Flat bones skull fibrous membranes
- Fontanels
- Ossified by 2 yrs
- After adolescence epiphyseal plates ossified
Development of Skeletal System
- Baby cranium larger than face
- Growth brain
- 2 yrs skull ¾ adult size
- 8-9 almost adult size
- 6 to 11 head enlarges
- Face grows out from skull
- Jaws increase size
- Cheekbones and nose prominent
- Permanent teeth develop
Development of Skeletal System
- Primary curvatures birth convex posteriorly
- Infant spine arched
- Secondary curvatures convex anteriorly
- Reshaping invertebral discs
- S shaped spine adult
Osteoporosis
- Bone thinning disease
- ½ women over 65
- 20% men over 70
- Bones fragil
- Spine, neck, femur
- Kyphosis (hunch back)
- Pathological fractures
