Articulations CH 8
2
Outline Joint Cavity Components Selected articulations Joint capsule
Articular cartilage Synovial membrane Joint accessory components Selected articulations Intervertebral articulations Glenohumeral joints Tibiofemoral joint Talocrural joint
3
Synovial Joint Space Space contents Degree of motion Example Yes!
Joint cavity Space contents Synovial fluid Held together w/ bands of dense regular CT- ligaments Degree of motion Freely moveable Least stable- high motility Example Knee, elbow, fingers, shoulder
4
Synovial Joint “fluid filled joint” No direct bone- bone contact
Joint cavity- persistent space between bones Diarthrosis- high degree of mobility
6
Joint Cavity Components
Joint capsule Articular cartilage Synovial membrane Joint accessory components Accessory Capsular ligaments Extracapsular ligaments Intracapsular ligaments Bursae Menisci Fat pads Stabilizing bones & muscles
7
Joint Capsule Dense irregular CT encloses cavity Function
Adds joint stability Refines joint motility Defines joint cavity border
8
Joint Capsule
9
Joint Capsule
10
Articular Cartilage Structure Function Modification Hyaline cartilage
Reduces friction Shock absorption Modification Synovial fluid storage Porous allows synovial fluid to be released during compression (joint motion)
11
Articular Cartilage
12
Clinical- Chondromalacia
13
Synovial Membrane Structure Function Nourishes articular cartilage
Membrane lining articular capsule Stops at articular cartilage Function Synovial fluid secretion Provides lubrication/ reduces friction Efficient motion w/out wear on bones Nourishes articular cartilage Chondrocytes acquire nutrition thru synovial fluid Why? Shock absorption Absorbs and distributes shock across articular cartilage
14
Synovial Membrane
15
Joint Accessory Components
Accessory capsular ligaments Extracapsular ligaments Intracapsular ligaments Articular discs – menisci Bursae Fat pads Muscles Bones
16
Accessory Capsular Ligaments
Distinct localized thickenings of articular capsule Work to add strength, refine motion & stabilize joints Component of capsule
17
Capsule Pubofemoral Ligament
18
Extracapsular ligaments
“outside” capsule Fibers comprise the layer of CT that is on the outside of the articular capsule Ulnar Collateral Ligament
19
Extracapsular Ligaments
Medial Collateral Ligament (knee)
20
Intracapsular ligaments
Fibers located within the articular capsule
21
Intracapsular Ligaments
Anterior Cruciate Ligament- Knee
22
Articular Discs – Menisci
Structure Fibrocartilage discs Function Change the shape of the articulating surface Refine joint movement- stabilize koint Absorb shock Channel & distribute synovial fluid Location Articulating bones of knee
23
Menisci
24
Menisci Provide better bone-bone fit
25
Menisci Refine movement- stability
26
Menisci Channel & distribute synovial fluid
27
Bursae “Fluid filled pouch” Structure Function Location
CT sacs filled with synovial fluid Lined with synovial membrane Connected or separated from joint cavity Form where ligaments or tendons rub against other tissue Function Reduce friction Absorb shock Location Areas of friction
28
Suprapatellar Bursa
29
Fat Pads Pads of fat Structure Function Location
Adipose loose connective tissue proper Function Reduce friction Fill space Location Areas of friction
30
Infrapatellar Fat Pad
31
Stabilizing Bones & Muscles
Add stability to joint
32
Clinical Applications
Synovial joint dislocation Sprain Strain Bursitis
33
Synovial Joint Dislocation
Luxation- Full dislocation Subluxation- Partial dislocation Articulating surfaces forced out of position Displacement can cause joint structure damage Cartilage, ligaments, menisci
34
Synovial Joint Dislocation
35
Synovial Joint Dislocation
36
“Double Jointed” Weakly stabilized joints
Permit greater range of motion More prone to luxation
37
Strain Overstretching or tearing of muscle or muscle connective tissue
Results from joint over extension Repair ~ 3-4 weeks
38
Sprain Overstretching or tearing of ligament or capsule
Result from joint overextension Repair- ~3-4 weeks
43
Bursitis Inflammation of the bursa Result from A direct fall or blow
Overuse Infection
44
Bursitis
45
