3. Classification of Joints
Fibrous Joints
____________________ tissues connect bones
between bones in close contact
synarthrotic
___________
amphiarthrotic
______________
diarthrotic
freely movable
Cartilaginous Joints
_______________ or fibrocartilage connect bones

__________
allow free movement
8-3

4. Fibrous Joints 3 Types ____________ _________ ___________
______________
long fibers connect bones
________________ distal ends of tibia and fibula
8-4

5. Fibrous Joints Suture between flat bones ______________
thin layer of connective tissue connects bones

12. Types of Joint Movements
__________________
dorsiflexion/plantarflexion
flexion/extension/_________________
8-12

13. Types of Joint Movements
________________
supination/pronation
8-13

14. Types of Joint Movements
______________
protraction/retraction
elevation/depression
8-14

15. Shoulder Joint _____________ head of humerus glenoid cavity of scapula
_________________
bursae
___________ prevent displacement
very wide range of movement
8-15

16. Shoulder Joint
8-16

17. Elbow Joint ____________ __________ ____________________
trochlea of humerus
trochlear notch of ulna
__________
capitulum of humerus
____________________
many reinforcing ligaments
stable joint
8-17

18. Elbow Joint
8-18

19. Hip Joint ________________ head of femur ______________
heavy joint capsule
many reinforcing ligaments
_____________ of movement than shoulder joint
8-19

20. Hip Joint
8-20

21. Knee Joint largest joint ______________
medial and lateral condyles of distal end of femur
medial and lateral condyles of proximal end of tibia
femur articulates anteriorly with patella
___________________
__________________________ strengthened by many ligaments and tendons
menisci separate femur and tibia
bursae
8-21

22. Knee Joint
8-22

23. Life-Span Changes Joint stiffness is an early sign of aging
________________ can prevent stiffness
Fibrous joints first to strengthen over a lifetime
Changes in symphysis joints of vertebral column diminish flexibility and decrease height
____________________________
8-23

24. Clinical Application Joint Disorders Sprains
damage to cartilage, ligaments, or tendons associated with joints
forceful twisting of joint
Bursitis
inflammation of a bursa
overuse of a joint
Arthritis
inflamed, swollen, painful joints
