Fibrous Joints
connected by collagen fibers
Suture, syndesmoses, gomphoses
Suture
between bones of the skull
functionally: synarthroses
syndesmoses
Connected: ligaments
functionally: amphiarthroses
distal articulation of tibia and fibula
gomphosis
peg-in- socket
functionally: synarthroses
tooth in its socket
cartilaginous
have little movement, lack joint cavity
connected: cartilage
Synchondroses, symphyses
synchondroses
Connected: hyaline cartilage to bone
Functionally: synarthroses
epiphyseal plates
symphyses
Connected fibrocartilage disc
Functionally: amphiarthroses
IV disc, pubic symphysis
Synovial
articulates with synovial joint cavity
Functionally: diarthrosis
plane joint
back and forth movement only
ex: carpals, tarsals
hinge joint
convex surface fits into concave
ex: elbow, knee
pivot joint
primarily for rotation
ex: atlas axis, radius
condylar joint
oval shaped bone fits into elliptical depression
ex: between radius and carpals, phalanges and metacarpals
saddle joint
articular surface are both saddle shaped
ex: trapezium and thumb
Ball- and- socket joint
ball fits into cup like
ex: shoulder and hip
Influences on stability
articular surfaces, ligaments, muscle tone
4 functional muscle properties
contractility, excitability, extensibility, elasticity
contractility
myofilaments responsible fot shortening cells
excitability
nerve signals excite cells
extensibility
contraction of a skeletal muscle stretches opposing
elasticity
recoil after being stretched
skeletal muscle
striated, multi-nucleated, voluntary
smooth muscle
not striated, 1 nucleus, involuntary
cardiac
striated, 1 nucleus, involuntary
epimysium
dense regular CT surrounding entire muscle
