STUDY OF JOINTS Function of a joint is most important factor in determination of its character and structure. SIMPLE JOINT --------------->> COMPOSITE JOINT
JOINT TYPES These joints classified developmentally as Fibrous joints Cartilaginous joints Synovial joints They are also known as: Synarthroses [fibrous & primary cartilaginous joints] Amphiarthroses [secondary cartilaginous joints] Diarthroses [synovial joints]
SYNARTHROSES [FIBROUS JOINTS] Immovable joints 1.Sutures- these joints mostly found in skull Sutura serrata- eg : frontal suture Sutura squamosa- eg : parietal and temporal bone Sutura harmonica - eg : nasal bone 2.syndesmoses: the uniting medium is mixture of fibrous and elastic tissue - eg : intermetacarpal articulation-horse 3.schindylesis-when a bone is fitted into a groove of another bone eg : junction between vomer and sphenoid bone 4.gomphosis -eg: roots of teeth in alveolar sockets
CARTILAGINOUS JOINTS Limited movement present in these joints 1.synchondroses: the opposing bones are connected by hyaline cartilage - eg : occipito -sphenoid.and intervertebral articulations of vertebrae 2.symphyses: fibrocartilaginous articulations between the symmetrical bones eg : symphysis mandibulae and symphysis pelvis
SYNOVIAL JOINTS[DIARTHROSES] Characterized by presence of - joint cavity - a synovial membrane - joint capsule Show wide range of movement.
MOVEMENTS OF SYNOVIAL JOINTS Translation or gliding Angular Angular movements as follows: Flexion. Extension. Adduction. Abduction. Circumduction. Rotation. Pronation and supination: refer to the position and movement of forearm and manus.
CLASSIFICATION OF DIARTHRIDIAL JOINTS Uniaxial: eg - ginglymus,pivot , and condyloid joints. Biaxial: eg -saddle and ellipsoidal joints. Multiaxial: eg - ball and socket joints.
