1 Joints and Joint Movement
Human A&P

2 Joints With the exception of the hyoid bone, every bone in the body forms a joint with at least one other bone Joints serve two functions Hold the bones securely together Give the rigid skeleton flexibility

3 Joint Classification Functional: depends on the amount of movement allowed by the joint Structural: depends on whether fibrous tissue, cartilage, or a joint cavity separates the bony regions at the joint

4 Three Types of Joints Synarthrosis Joints – held together by collagenous fibers. The bones closely contact each other. Ex. Skull sutures, distal end of fibula and tibia Amphiarthosis Joints – hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage connect the bones. Ex. Vertebrae, pubis bone Diarthrosis (Synovial Joint) – Most common joint and most complex

5 Synovial Joint

6 Types of Synovial Joints

7 Ball and Socket Joint Hip and shoulder are examples
Egg shaped head with a cup shaped cavity

8 Condyloid Joint Metacarpals and phalanges

9 Gliding Joint Joints of the wrist and ankle Back and forth movement

10 Hinge Joint Elbow Concave and convex surfaces fit together

11 Pivot Joint Rotation around a central axis
Radius and ulna, neck turning

12 Saddle Joint Carpal and metacarpal of the thumb

13 Inflammatory Disorders of the Joints
Bursitis: inflammation of bursa (synovial membrane); water on the knee

14 Inflammatory Disorders of the Joints
Sprain Ligaments or tendons reinforcing joint are damaged by excessive stretching or are torn away from bone Slow to heal because of poor blood supply Dislocation When a bone is forced out of normal position in the joint cavity

15 Inflammatory Disorders of the Joints
Arthritis Most widespread, crippling disease in the U.S. 1 in 7 Americans suffer with it Initial symptoms: Pain, stiffness, and swelling of the joint Acute and Chronic Forms of Arthritis

16 Inflammatory Disorders of the Joints
Acute Arthritis Result from bacterial invasion Treated with antibiotic Synovial membrane thickens and fluid production decreases, leading to increased friction and pain

17 Inflammatory Disorders of the Joints
Chronic Arthritis Osteoarthritis Most common form Degenerative condition usu. affects the aged Wear and tear affects Can cause bone spurs which restrict joint movement Rheumatoid arthritis Occurs between years old, but can occur at any age Affects more women than men Many joints affected at the same time and usu. in symmetrical manner (left elbow than right elbow) Marked by remission (goes away) and flare ups (comes back) Autoimmune disease – body attacks its own tissues Gouty arthritis

Joints Joints (articulations), the sites where two or more bones meet, have two fundamental functions: – Give skeleton mobility – Hold skeleton together.

Classification and mobility.  Fibrous - no joint cavity, joined by fibrous tissue, mobility depends on the length of the tissue, most are immovable 
