Types of Joints and Bursae Ana Soldo 2013/2014 Zagreb Medical School Mentor: A. Žmegač Horvat
Joint (articulation) A coming together of two or more bones
Joints Diarthroses movable Synarthroses immovable/ partially movable
Joints Diarthrosis movable Synarthrosis immovable/ partially movable
Diarthrosis (synovial joint) Freely movable joint Articular cartilage Joint capsule fibrous membrane synovial membrane Joint cavity
Diarthrosis (synovial joint) Additional components: Ligaments Fat pads Disci/Menisci Bursae
Diarthrosis (synovial joint) Additional components: Ligaments – add strength to the joint capsule or limit movements
Diarthrosis (synovial joint) Additional components: Fat pads - help to protect joints from mechanical damage
Diarthrosis (synovial joint) Additional components: Discus/Meniscus – fibrous cartilage within a joint, increases compatibility
Diarthrosis (synovial joint) Additional components: Bursa – closed sac of synovial fluid, usually found beetween bones and tendons or muscles around a joint, helps to reduce friction
Diarthrosis (synovial joint)
Plane joint – permits sliding Sacroiliac, intercarpal, intertarsal joints
Diarthrosis (synovial joint) Hinge joint (ginglymus) – allows movement in only one direction Interphalangeal joint, joint between humerus and ulna
Diarthrosis (synovial joint) Pivot joint – allows rotation Proximal and distal radioulnar joint
Diarthrosis (synovial joint) Saddle joint – allows movement in all directions except rotation First carpometacarpal joint
Diarthrosis (synovial joint) Ellipsoid joint – allows flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, circumduction Radiocarpal joint, metacarpophalangeal joints
Diarthrosis (synovial joint) Ball and socket joint – largest range of movement Hip joint, shoulder joint
Joints Diarthroses movable Synarthroses immovable/ partially movable

Synarthrosis SynostosisSyndesmosisSynchondrosis
Synostosis The joining of two bones - ossification of connecting tissue Hip bone
Synarthrosis SynostosisSyndesmosisSynchondrosis
Syndesmosis Slightly movable joint Bony surfaces united by connective tissue Suture Interosseous membraneGomphosis
Synarthrosis SynostosisSyndesmosisSynchondrosis
Cartilaginous union Mostly at younger age, during life cartilage replaced by bone, small number remain for life Joint between first rib and sternum
