Synovial

25
Atlantooccipital and atlantoaxial
Atlas and occipital bone, atlas and axis | Synovial
26
Intervertebral
Two vertebrae | Two types: cartilaginous (disc) and synovial (facets)
27
Costovertebral
Rib to vertebra | Synovial
28
Costochondral
Rib to rib (rib cartilage of previous rib) | Synchondroses (cartilaginous)
29
Sternocostal
Sternebrae to ribs | Synchondroses (cartilaginous)
30
Sacroiliac
Sacrum and ilium | Synovial
31
Joints associated to axial skeleton
* No joint with forelimb * Hindlimb: * Sacroiliac joint * Hip joint (described here to help you with your CBL cases but it is part of the hindlimb)
32
Atlantooccipital
The atlantooccipital joint is the articulation between the atlas and the occipital bone. It consists of a pair of condyloid joints.
33
atlantoaxial joints
The atlantoaxial joint is a joint in the upper part of the neck between the first and second cervical vertebrae; the atlas and axis. It is a pivot joint.
34
Intervertebral (Cartilaginous) joint
The intervertebral joint consists of two adjacent vertebrae with a cushion in between. These fundamental intervertebral joint elements work together as a unit, and their purpose is to facilitate a movement of the spine
35
Intervertebral (Synovial) joint
These joints are found between the superior and inferior facets of adjoining vertebral arches.
36
Costovertebral (Synovial)
The costovertebral joints are the joints that connect the ribs to the vertebral column. The articulation of the head of the rib connects the head of the rib to the bodies of the thoracic vertebrae.
37
Costochondral joint
The costochondral joints are the joints between the ribs and costal cartilage in the front of the rib cage
38
Sternocostal (Cartilaginous) joints
The sternocostal joints also known as sternochondral joints (or costosternal articulations), are synovial plane joints of the costal cartilages of the true ribs with the sternum
39
Sacroiliac joint
The sacroiliac (SI) joint is located in the pelvis. It links the iliac bone (pelvis) to the sacrum (lowest part of the spine above the tailbone)
40
Sacrotuberous ligament
The sacrotuberous ligament is a slender, fan-shaped ligament of the posterior (back) pelvis located on either side of the body. This ligament arises midway down the posterior side of the sacrum, which is located at the spinal base.
41
Hip joint (coxofemoral joint)
``` Ball-and-socket, synovial • Articular labrum around acetabulum • Ligament of the femoral head • Surprisingly simple!! • Best accessed craniolateraly (for surgery) • Luxation and dysplasia very common ```
42
Acetabulum
Hip socket
43
Ligaments
* Dorsal atlantoaxial ligament * Nuchal ligament -> supraspinous ligament * Interspinous ligament * Ventral longitudinal (vertebral) ligament * Intercapital ligament (heads of ribs) * Sacrotuberous ligament (already covered) • Hip joint ligaments (already covered)
44
Supraspinous ligament
The supraspinous ligament (supraspinal ligament) is a strong fibrous cord, which connects together the apices of the spinous processes from the seventh cervical vertebra to the sacrum
45
Interspinous ligament
The interspinous ligaments (interspinal ligaments) are thin and membranous ligaments, that connect adjoining spinous processes of the vertebra in the spine. They extend from the root to the apex of each spinous process
46
Other fibrous structures
Intervertebral disc | • Costochondral arch (costal arch) – cartilagineous part of the ribs
47
Nucleus pulposus
Nucleus pulposus is the inner core of the vertebral disc. The core is composed of a jelly-like material that consists of mainly water, as well as a loose network of collagen fibers. The elastic inner structure allows the vertebral disc to withstand forces of compression and torsion.
48
annulus fibrosus
the tough circular exterior of the intervertebral disc that surrounds the soft inner core, the nucleus pulposus. This outer portion is composed of a ring of ligament fibers that encases the inner core of the disc and securely connects the spinal vertebrae above and below the disc.
