2. Structural Classification of Joints Slide 5.45 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Fibrous joints  Generally immovable  Cartilaginous joints  Immovable or slightly moveable  Synovial joints  Freely moveable

3. Fibrous Joints Slide 5.46 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Bones united by fibrous tissue  Examples  Sutures  Syndesmoses  Allows more movement than sutures  Example: distal end of tibia and fibula Figure 5.27d, e

4. Cartilaginous Joints Slide 5.47 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Bones connected by cartilage  Examples  Pubic symphysis  Intervertebral joints Figure 5.27b, c

5. Synovial Joints Slide 5.48 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Articulating bones are separated by a joint cavity  Synovial fluid is found in the joint cavity Figure 5.27f–h

6. Features of Synovial Joints Slide 5.49 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Articular cartilage (hyaline cartilage) covers the ends of bones  Joint surfaces are enclosed by a fibrous articular capsule  Have a joint cavity filled with synovial fluid  Ligaments reinforce the joint

7. Structures Associated with the Synovial Joint Slide 5.50 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Bursae – flattened fibrous sacs  Lined with synovial membranes  Filled with synovial fluid  Not actually part of the joint  Tendon sheath  Elongated bursa that wraps around a tendon

8. The Synovial Joint Slide 5.51 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 5.28

9. Types of Synovial Joints Based on Shape Slide 5.52a Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 5.29a–c

10. Types of Synovial Joints Based on Shape Slide 5.52b Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 5.29d–f

11. Inflammatory Conditions Associated with Joints Slide 5.53 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Bursitis – inflammation of a bursa usually caused by a blow or friction  Tendonitis – inflammation of tendon sheaths  Arthritis – inflammatory or degenerative diseases of joints  Over 100 different types  The most widespread crippling disease in the United States

12. Clinical Forms of Arthritis Slide 5.54a Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Osteoarthritis  Most common chronic arthritis  Probably related to normal aging processes  Rheumatoid arthritis  An autoimmune disease – the immune system attacks the joints  Symptoms begin with bilateral inflammation of certain joints  Often leads to deformities

13. Clinical Forms of Arthritis Slide 5.54b Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Gouty Arthritis  Inflammation of joints is caused by a deposition of urate crystals from the blood  Can usually be controlled with diet

14. Developmental Aspects of the Skeletal System Slide 5.55 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  At birth, the skull bones are incomplete  Bones are joined by fibrous membranes – fontanelles  Fontanelles are completely replaced with bone within two years after birth
