1 The articular system

2 Body Joint Charades - movement, bones, joint
Swing a baseball bat Throw a football Dribble a basketball Do jumping jacks Kick a soccer ball Do push-ups Do “The Robot” Wave goodbye Hop on one leg Jump with a jump rope

3 Learning goals I will be able to identify the role joints play in the human body. I will be able to identify the different types of joints. I will be able to identify common joint injuries.

5 joints an area or junction where two or more bones meet or articulate.
provide bones with a means of movement have strands of connective tissue (ligaments) that hold the bones together and ensure the stability of joints, keeping bone in place

6 Three structural joint classifications …
Fibrous Cartilaginous Synovial

7 fibrous joint Some joints are fused together to form immovable joints.
These joints articulate and form sutures.

8 Cartilaginous joint Joints are attached by cartilage and allow limited movement. The spine and ribs are two examples.

9 Synovial joint Most bones articulate at a variety of moveable joints.
Lubricating fluid and cartilage allow for a lot of movement The human body contains more than 230 moveable or semi-moveable joints.

10 Make up of Synovial joint
ARTICULATING CARTILAGE - protects the ends of the 2 bones involved & allows for smooth movement JOINT CAPSULE - fibrous structure that keeps synovial fluid from leaking SYNOVIAL FLUID - lubricates the joint BURSAE - small, fluid-filled sacs located at friction points btw. bones or btw. bones and ligaments LIGAMENTS - tough bands of elastic tissue that reinforce the joint

12 Types of synovial joints
There are 6 we will look at in order from least to most permitted movement: Plane Hinge Pivot Ellipsoid Saddle Ball and socket

13 1. Plane (gliding) connect bones that glide over one-another in straight line e.g. carpals, tarsals allows limited movement in sagittal (f/e) & frontal (ab/ad)

14 2. hinge one bone fits into a groove in the other most common
e.g. elbow, knee allows movement in sagittal (f/e)

15 3. pivot one bone rotates around another
e.g. ulnar-radial joint, atlas-axis allows movement in transverse (sup/pro, med/lat rotation)

16 4. ellipsoid one bone is convex, the other is concave (but not too deep) e.g. knuckle allows movement in sagittal (f/e) & frontal (ab/ad)

17 5. saddle one bone “rides” the other e.g. carpo-metacarpal in thumb
allows movement in sagittal (f/e) & frontal (ab/ad), BUT not circumduction

18 6. Ball & socket ‘ball’ of one bone fits into ‘socket’ of other
e.g. hip, shoulder allows movement in all 3 planes (i.e., circumduction)

19 Learning goals I will be able to identify the role joints play in the human body. I will be able to identify the different types of joints. I will be able to identify common joint injuries.
