Immovable
Synarthrotic
Slightly movable
Amphiarthartic
Fibrous joints - possible movements
Most are immovable, few are slightly movable
Cartilaginous Joints are connected by either
hyaline or fibrocartilage
Synovial Joints are diathrotic which means that they
Allow Free Movement
Articular ends of bones in a synovial joint are covered with
hyaline (articular) cartilage
Synovial membrane secretes
synovial fluid, lubricating the joints
What are the six types of Synovial Joints
Ball and socket (spheroidal)
Condylar (ellipsoidal)
Plane (gliding)
Hinge
Pivot (Trochoid)
Saddle (Sellar)
Fibrous Joints - Description
Articulating bones are fastened together by a thin layer of dense connective tissue.
Ball and socket - Possible Movement
Movements in all planes, including rotation
Condylar - Possible Movement
Variety of movements in two planes, but no rotation
Plane - - Possible Movement
Sliding or twisting
Hinge - Possible Movement
Flexion and extension
Pivot - Possible Movement
Rotation around a central axis
Saddle - Possible Movement
Variety of movements, mainly in two planes
Flexion - Description
Bending parts at a joint so that the angle between them decreases
Extension - Description
Straightening parts at a joint, so that the angle between them increases
Lateral Flexion - Description
Bending the head, neck or trunk to the side
Hyperextension - Description
Straightening Beyond normal anatomical position
Abduction - Description
Moving a body part from the midline
Adduction - Description
Moving a body part toward the midline
Fibrous Joint - Example
Suture between bones of the skull, joint between the distal ends of the tibia and fibula
Cartilaginous Joint - Example
Joints between bodies of vertebrae, pubic symphysis
Ball and Socket Joint - Example
Shoulder, Hip
