a. synovial membrane-produces synovial fluid (nourishes hyaline cartilage)
b. articular cartilage- acts as shock absorber and reduces friction (hyaline with no perichondrium)
3) synovial fluid

Types of movement
Gliding: -sliding at articulation -linear motion forward and backward -one plane ex. clavicle/manubrium tarsal/carpal bones Angular: -types of angular movement (change angle between shaft/joint)
26
Abduction (angular)
moving a part away from a midline
27
Adduction (angular)
moving a part towards the midline
28
Flexion (angular)
bending parts of a joint so angle between them decreases
29
Extension (angular)
movement that increases the angle between parts of joint
30
Hyperextension (angular)
extending joint beyond anatomical position
31
Circumduction (angular)
pivoting around the origin of a limb (draw circle) | ex. hips/shoulders
32
Rotation (angular)
turning around its own axis (no change in angle) pronation-turning hand so palm is downward supination-turning hand so palm is upward
33
Eversion (special movement)
turning sole of foot upward (pronation of foot)
34
Inversion (special movement)
turning sole of foot inward medially (supination of foot)
35
Dorsiflexion (special movement)
flexing foot at ankle | *part of walking motion
36
Plantar flexion (special movement)
tipping toes downward | *part of walking motion
37
lateral flexion (special movement)
when vertebral column bends to the side (head side to side)
38
protraction (special movement)
movement anteriorly in the horizontal plane | *stick chin out
39
retraction (special movement)
moving a part backward | *tuck chin in
40
opposition (special movement)
pad to pad contact of thumb with palm or other finger
41
elevation (special movement)
movement superiorly | *jaw movement-shoulders up/down
42
depression
lowering a part | *jaw movement-shoulders up/down
43
Synovial Joints (principles)
there is always a trade-off between flexibility and stability determined by: - shape of articulating surface that prevents movement in certain directions (how joints fit together) - tightness of ligaments (stable but not flexible) - presence of accessory ligaments and collagen fibers - other bones/muscles/fat pads present
44
Types of synovial joints
plane, hinge, pivot, condylar, saddle, ball-and-socket
45
Plane joint (synovial)
articulating surfaces are flat or slightly curved - allows sliding in 1 plane (side to side movement only) ex. sternoclavicular joint, vertebrocostal joint
46
Hinge joint (synovial)
convex surface of one bone fits in concave surface of another - movement in 1 plane ex. elbow
47
Pivot Joint (synovial)
rounded surface of one bone articulates with shallow depression or foramen in another - movement around a central axis ex. joint where dens is on axial/atlas vertebrae
48
Condylar Joint (synovial)
- condyl of one bone fits into ellipsoidal depression of another - biaxial movement (flex, extend, abduct, adduct) ex. wrist
49
Saddle Joint (synovial)
articular surfaces are saddle shaped (one convex, other concave) - biaxial movement except for rotational (circumduction possible) ex. finger bones sit on each other
50
Ball-and-Socket Joint (synovial)
ball shaped head of bone fits into cup-shaped depression of another - movement in all directions ex. shoulder/hip
51
Temporomandibular Joint
Type of Articulation: combined Plane/Hinge joint Movement: elevation/depression, lateral gliding, limited protraction/retraction Articular capsule landmarks: hinge joint between condylar process of mandible and mandibular fossa of temporal bone Lateral ligament: on lateral side of articular capsule and is relatively thick Stylomandibular ligament: extends from styloid process of temporal bone to posterior margin of the mandibular ramus Sphenomandibular ligament: extends from sphenoidal spine to the medial surface of the mandibular ramus.
52
Atlanto-occipital Joint
Type of Articulation: Condylar Joint | Movement: flexion/extension
53
Atlanto-axial Joint
Type of Articulation: Pivot Joint | Movement: rotation
54
Sacro-iliac Joint
Type of Articulation: Planar Joint | Movement: slight gliding movement
55
Glenohumeral Joint
Type of Articulation: Ball-and-Socket Joint Movement: flexion/extension, adduction/abduction, circumduction, rotation Coracohumeral ligament: originates at the coracoid process of the scapula and inserts in the head of the humerus. (strengthens the superior portion of the articular capsule and supports the weight of the upper limb) Glenohumeral ligaments: attaches the glenoid cavity of scapula to the head of the humerus. (Because the joint capsule fibers are so loose, the anterior glenohumeral ligaments stabilize the joint only as the humerus approaches/exceeds normal motion.
56
Talocrural Joint
Type of Articulation: Hinge Joint Movement: Dorsiflexion/plantar flexion -articular surfaces of tibia and fibula attach to trochlea of talus Lateral ligaments: attach lateral malleolus on fibula to tarsal bones Deltoid ligament: attaches tibia to talus, calcaneus, and the navicular bones.
57
Acromioclavicular Joint
Type of Articulation: Planar Joint Movement: slight gliding movement Acromioclavicular ligament: binds the acromion to the clavicle, restricting clavicular movement at the acromial end. (dislocation is common) Coracoacromial ligament: spans the gap between the coracoid process and the acromion. (provides additional support to the superior surface of the joint capsule.
58
Proximal radio-ulnar Joint
Types of Articulations: Pivot Joint Movement: rotation the head of the radius articulates with the radial notch of the ulna. the head of the radius stays in firmly attached to the ulna because of the annular ligament
59
Distal radio-ulnar Joint
``` Type of Articulation: Pivot Joint Movement: pronation/supination Include the: -ulnar notch of radius -radioulnar ligaments on anterior and posterior portions of the joint ```
60
Radiocarpal Joint
Type of Articulation: Condylar Movement: flexion/extension, adduction/abduction, circumduction. Palmar Radiocarpal ligament: connects the distal radius to the anterior surfaces of the scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum Dorsal Radiocarpal ligament: connects the distal radius to the posterior surfaces of the scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum Ulnar Collateral ligament: extends from the styloid process of the ulna to the medial surface of the triquetrum Radial Collateral ligament: extends from the styloid process of the radius to the lateral surface of the scaphoid
