2 or more bones joint together
JOINTS
Found where fibrous connective tissue tightly binds the articulating bones
FIBROUS JOINTS
Connects each tooth to its socket in a jaw’s alveolar process
Gomphosis
joint between 2 flat bones Syndesmosis-bands of fibrous tissue bind bones
Suture
Piece of cartilage joins bones
CARTILAGINOUS JOINTS
hyaline cartilage connects bones
Synchondrosis
fibrocartilage forms the joints
Symphysis
Freely movable joints, A flexible joint capsule composed of ligaments and other connective structures and lined with a lubricating synovial membrane Allows a wide range of movement
SYNOVIAL JOINTS
Inner layer of the articular capsule composed of areolar (a type of loose connective) tissue and covers all internal joint surfaces that are not hyaline cartilage. The cells secrete synovial fluid
SYNOVIAL MEMBRANE
A viscous fluid that fills the synovial cavity or joint cavity. It thins during joint activity and provides lubrication between cartilages. It also nourishes the cells of the cartilage and contains phagocytic cells (cleaners of cellular debris and microbes)
SYNOVIAL FLUID
A thickened area of the fibrous capsule
INTRINSIC (CAPSULAR LIGAMENTS)
Lie outside the articular capsule, example is the FIBULAR COLLATERAL LIGAMENT OF THE KNEE JOINT
EXTRACAPSULAR LIGAMENTS
Occur within the articular capsule but are excluded from the synovial joint cavity as they are covered by synovial membrane: examples are the CRUCIATE LIGAMENTS OF THE KNEE JOINT
INTRACAPSULAR LIGAMENTS
Fibrocartilage pads separating the articular surfaces of the articulating bone
ARTICULAR DISCS OR MENISCI
Surfaces slide past each other, between carpals and between tarsals. Side to side motion only, non-axial. Joints that joins clavicle to the scapula
Gliding joint
Two bones joined so that they can move in one plane only. Convex surface of one fits concave surface of other, motion in one plane-monoaxial Example: elbow
Hinge joint
An oval condyle fits into an oval fossa allowing movement in two planes. Example: Wrist joint
Ellipsoid joint
One bone pivots on the axis of another, allowing rotation. Between proximal ends of radius and ulna. Example: Axis/Atlas
Pivot joint
Two saddle shaped processes fit together Two saddle shaped processes fit together. Between carpal and metacarpal of thumb. Example: Carpometacarpal joints/ Joint of the thumb
Saddle joint
A ball shaped process fits into a rounded fossa allowing almost unrestricted movement. Example: Shoulder joints
Ball and socket joint
Between metacarpals and phalanges, oval shaped condyle of one bone fits into an elliptical cavity of another bone. Side to side and back n forth motions. biaxial/ ex: radiocarpal (wrist joints)
CONDYLOID JOINT
Hip and shoulder allows for complete range of motion/ triaxial/head of femur
BALL-AND-SOCKET JOINT
decreasing the angle of a joint
Flexion
increasing the angle of a joint
Extension
