1
Joints of the Human Body ASA Bio 2014 Williams
2
Joints Where 2 (or more) bones come together Allows movement Represent the weakest part of the skeleton
3
Types of Joints 3 types of joints o Immovable (Synarthrosis) o Slightly movable (amphiarthrosis) o Fully movable (diarthrosis)
4
Immovable (Synarthrosis) No movement between bones “Fibrous” joints o Sutures
5
Immovable (Synarthrosis) No movement between bones “Fibrous” joints o Sutures o Syndesmosis
6
Immovable (Synarthrosis) No movement between bones “Fibrous” Joints o Sutures o Syndesmosis o Gomphosis
7
Slightly Movable (Amphiarthrosis) Very slight movement “Cartilaginous” joints o Synchondrosis
8
Slightly Movable (Amphiarthrosis) Very slight movement “Cartilaginous” joints o Synchondrosis o Symphysis
9
Fully Movable (Diarthrosis) Greatest degree of flexibility “Synovial” joints o Plane joint (arthroidal)
10
Fully Movable (Diarthrosis) Greatest degree of flexibility “Synovial” joints o Plane joint (arthroidal) o Hinge joint (ginglymus)
11
Fully Movable (Diarthrosis) Greatest degree of flexibility “Synovial” joints o Plane joint (arthroidal) o Hinge joint (ginglymus) o Pivot joint (trochoid)
12
Fully Movable (Diarthrosis) Greatest degree of flexibility “Synovial” joints o Plane joint (arthroidal) o Hinge joint (ginglymus) o Pivot joint (trochoid) o Condyloid (ellipsoid)
13
Fully Movable (Diarthrosis) Greatest degree of flexibility “Synovial” joints o Plane joint (arthroidal) o Hinge joint (ginglymus) o Pivot joint (trochoid) o Condyloid (ellipsoid) o Saddle joint (sellar)
14
Fully Movable (Diarthrosis) Greatest degree of flexibility “Synovial” joints o Plane joint (arthroidal) o Hinge joint (ginglymus) o Pivot joint (trochoid) o Condyloid (ellipsoid) o Saddle joint (sellar) o Ball & socket (spheroidal)
15
“Synovial” Joints Articular capsule o Cartilage (hyaline) o Fibrous joint capsule o Synovial membrane o Synovial fluid
16
Joints Ligaments: fibrous band that connects two bones o Limits the range of motion at the joint
17
Joints Ligaments: fibrous band that connects two bones o Limits the range of motion at the joint Cartilage: connective tissue that surrounds the ends of bones o Protects bones from wearing down
18
Joints of the Body Plane joint o Wrist (inter-carpal), Ankle (inter-tarsal), Patella
19
Joints of the Body Hinge joint o Elbow (humerus/ulna), Knee (femur/tibia), Fingers & Toes (inter-phalangeal), Jaw (temporomandibular)
20
Joints of the Body Pivot joint o Forearm (elbow/radius/ulna), Neck (atlanto-axial)
21
Joints of the Body Condyloid joint o Knuckles (metacarpal-phalangeal), Neck (atlanto- occipital)
22
Joints of the Body Saddle joint o Thumb
23
Joints of the Body Ball & socket joint o Shoulder (gleno-humeral), Hip (ilio-femoral)
24
Joints of the Body Plane joint o Wrist (inter-carpal), Ankle (inter-tarsal), Patella Hinge joint o Elbow (humerus/ulna), Knee (femur/tibia), Fingers & Toes (inter-phalangeal), Jaw (temporomandibular) Pivot joint o Forearm (elbow/radius/ulna), Neck (atlanto-axial) Condyloid joint o Knuckles (metacarpal-phalangeal), Neck (atlanto- occipital) Saddle joint o Thumb Ball & socket joint o Shoulder (gleno-humeral), Hip (ilio-femoral)
