Joints Rigid elements of the skeleton meet at joints or articulations
Greek root “arthro” means joint Articulations can be Bone to bone Bone to cartilage Teeth in bony sockets Structure of joints Enables resistance to crushing, tearing, and other forces Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Classifications of Joints
Joints can be classified by function or structure Functional classification – based on amount of movement Synarthroses – immovable; common in axial skeleton Amphiarthroses – slightly movable; common in axial skeleton Diarthroses – freely movable; common in appendicular skeleton (all synovial joints) Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
4
Classifications of Joints
Structural classification based on Material that binds bones together Presence or absence of a joint cavity Structural classifications include Fibrous Cartilaginous Synovial Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
5
Bones are connected by fibrous connective tissue
Fibrous Joints Bones are connected by fibrous connective tissue Do not have a joint cavity Most are immovable or slightly movable Types Sutures Syndesmoses Gomphoses Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
6
Bones are tightly bound by a minimal amount of fibrous tissue
Sutures Bones are tightly bound by a minimal amount of fibrous tissue Only occur between the bones of the skull Allow bone growth so the skull can expand with brain during childhood Fibrous tissue ossifies in middle age Synostoses – closed sutures Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
7
Bones are connected exclusively by ligaments
Syndesmoses Bones are connected exclusively by ligaments Amount of movement depends on length of fibers Tibiofibular joint –immovable synarthrosis Interosseous membrane between radius and ulna Freely movable diarthrosis Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Most movable type of joint All are diarthroses
Synovial Joints Most movable type of joint All are diarthroses Each contains a fluid-filled joint cavity Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
16
General Structure of Synovial Joints
Articular cartilage Ends of opposing bones are covered with hyaline cartilage Absorbs compression Joint cavity (synovial cavity) Unique to synovial joints Cavity is a potential space that holds a small amount of synovial fluid Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
17
General Structure of Synovial Joints
Articular capsule – joint cavity is enclosed in a two-layered capsule Fibrous capsule – dense irregular connective tissue, which strengthens joint Synovial membrane – loose connective tissue Lines joint capsule and covers internal joint surfaces Functions to make synovial fluid Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
18
General Structure of Synovial Joints
Synovial fluid A viscous fluid similar to raw egg white A filtrate of blood Arises from capillaries in synovial membrane Contains glycoprotein molecules secreted by fibroblasts Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
19
General Structure of Synovial Joints
Reinforcing ligaments Often are thickened parts of the fibrous capsule Sometimes are extracapsular ligaments – located outside the capsule Sometimes are intracapsular ligaments – located internal to the capsule Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

22
General Structure of Synovial Joints

23
Synovial Joints with Articular Discs
Some synovial joints contain an articular disc Occur in the temporomandibular joint and at the knee joint Occur in joints whose articulating bones have somewhat different shapes Figure 9.3c Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

How Synovial Joints Function
Synovial joints – lubricating devices Friction could overheat and destroy joint tissue Are subjected to compressive forces Fluid is squeezed out as opposing cartilages touch Cartilages ride on the slippery film Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
27
Bursae and Tendon Sheaths
Bursae and tendon sheaths are not synovial joints Closed bags of lubricant Reduce friction between body elements Bursa – a flattened fibrous sac lined by a synovial membrane Tendon sheath – an elongated bursa that wraps around a tendon Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Factors Influencing Joint Stabililty
Articular surfaces – seldom play a major role in joint stability The elbow, the knee and the hip do provide stability Ligaments – the more ligaments in a joint, the stronger it is Muscle tone – the most important factor in joint stability Keeps tension on muscle tendons Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
30
Movements Allowed by Synovial Joints
Three basic types of movement Gliding – one bone across the surface of another Angular movement – movements change the angle between bones Rotation – movement around a bone's long axis Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
31
