1 Joints of the Human Body
Naming Joints: Pectoral Girdle Upper Limb Pelvic Girdle Lower Limb Joint Classification Synovial Joints Characteristics of synovial joint Types of synovial joints Sport Books Publisher

2 Joint is a point of connection between two bones
Strands of connective tissue, ligaments, hold the bones together and ensure the stability of joints Sport Books Publisher

3 Joint Classification Joints are classified according to their motion capabilities: Synarthroses Immovable Amphiarthroses Slightly movable Diarthroses Allow the greatest amount of motion Sport Books Publisher

4 Joint Classification Cont’d
Joints are further classified by the material that joints them: Fibrous joint Allow no movement E.g. sutures of the scull Cartilaginous joints Allow limited movement E.g. intervertebral discs Synovial joints Allow large range of movements E.g. hip joint Sport Books Publisher

5 Characteristics of Synovial Joints
Hyaline cartilage A protective layer of dense white connective tissue that covers the ends of the articulating bones Joint cavity Synovial membrane Covers joint cavity, except over the surfaces of the articular cartilages Secretes the lubrication fluid Synovial fluid Lubricates the joint Capsule May or may not have thickenings called intrinsic ligaments Extrinsic ligaments Support the joint and connect the articulating bones of the joint Sport Books Publisher

6 Types of Synovial Joints
There are three basic types of synovial joints: unilateral (rotation only about one axis) biaxial joints (movement about two perpendicular axes) multiaxial joints (movement about all three perpendicular axes) Sport Books Publisher

7 Types of Synovial Joints Cont’d
Synovial are further classified into: 1. Hinge Joint 2. Pivot Joint 3. Condyloid Joint 4. Saddle-shaped joint 5. Ball and Socket Joint 6. Plane Joint Sport Books Publisher

8 1. Hinge (Ginglymus) Joint
Uniaxial Has one articulating surface that is convex, and another that is concave E.g. humero-ulnar elbow joint, interphalangeal joint Sport Books Publisher

9 Pivot Joint Uniaxial E.g. head of radius rotating against ulna
Sport Books Publisher

10 Condyloid (Knuckle) Joint
Biaxial (flexion-extension, abduction-adduction) The joint surfaces are usually oval One joint surface is an ovular convex shape, and the other is a reciprocally shaped concave surface E.g. metacarpophalangeal joint Sport Books Publisher

11 Saddle Joint Biaxial (flexion-extension, abduction-adduction)
The bones set together as in sitting on a horse E.g. carpometacarpal joint of the thumb Sport Books Publisher

12 Ball and Socket Joint Multiaxial (rotation in all planes)
A rounded bone is fitted into a cup=like receptacle E.g. shoulder and hip joints Sport Books Publisher

13 Plane (Gliding) Joint Uniaxial (permits gliding movements)
The bone surfaces involved are nearly flat E.g. intercarpal joints and acromioclavicular joint of the vertebrae Sport Books Publisher

14 Joints of the Pectoral Girdle
Sport Books Publisher

15 Sternoclavicular Joint
Connects the sternum to the clavicle the only joint connecting the pectoral girdle to the axial skeleton true synovial joint strengthened by an intracapsular disc and extrinsic ligaments Sport Books Publisher

16 Acromioclavicular Joint
unites the lateral end of the clavicle with the acromion process of the scapula where shoulder separations often occur in sports such as hockey, baseball, and football Sport Books Publisher

17 Glenohumeral Joint Connects the upper limb and the scapula
A typical multiaxial joint has a wide range of movement at this joint compromise = relative lack of stability Sport Books Publisher

18 Upper Limb Joints Sport Books Publisher

19 Elbow Joint There are three joints at the elbow: humero-ulnar joint
medial (with respect to anatomical position) between the trochlea of the humerus and the olecranon process of the ulna humero-radial joint lateral between the capitulum of the humerus and the head of the radius radio-ulnar joint between the radius and the ulna Sport Books Publisher

20 Elbow Joint Cont’d Humerus Humero-Ulnar Joint Humero-Radial Joint
Radio-Ulnar Joint Radius Ulna Sport Books Publisher

21 Joints of The Wrist radio-carpal joint
between distal end of the radius and the carpals movements - Flexion-extension and abduction-adduction Sport Books Publisher

22 Joints of the Hand intercarpal joints carpometacarpal joint
between the bones of the carpus gliding joints carpometacarpal joint between carpals and metacarpals the characteristics of carpometacarpal joint of the thumb allows the range of movement necessary for opposition Sport Books Publisher

23 Joints of the Hand Cont’d
metacarpophalangeal joints joint between metacarpals and carpals the knuckles movements Flexion-extension, and abduction-adduction interphalangeal joints joints between the phalanges permit flexion-extension. Sport Books Publisher

24 Joints of the Pelvic Girdle
Sport Books Publisher

25 Hip Joint - Between the head of the femur and the cup (acetabulum) of the hip bone (os coxae) Like shoulder joint, hip joint is: ball and socket joint multiaxial joint that allows flexion-extension, abduction-adduction and circumduction Sport Books Publisher

26 Hip Joint Cont’d unlike shoulder joint, hip joint is very stable
in fact it is the body’s most stable synovial joint due to: deepened socked (via lip or fibrocartilaginous labrum ) an intrinsic and very strong extrinsic ligaments dislocation in sports is not common, but can occur in car collisions dislocate the head posteriorly or drive it through the posterior lip of the actetabulum Sport Books Publisher

27 Lower Limb Joints Sport Books Publisher

28 Knee Joint Tibiofemoral or knee joint
incredible range of movement (flexion –extension) Sport Books Publisher

29 Knee Joint Cont’d however, the knee joint is relatively stable due to additional structural supports from: menisci shock-absorbing fibrocartilaginous discs anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments in the centre of the joint lateral and medial collateral ligaments extending from the sides of the femur to the tibia and fibula the musculature that surrounds it Sport Books Publisher

30 Knee Joint Cont’d movements:
primary action is flexion-extension (e.g. squat or jump) when flexed, medial and lateral rotation can also occur Sport Books Publisher

31 Ankle Joint talocrural or ankle joint involves several bones:
Medial malleolus Lateral malleolus Talus Calcaneus talocrural or ankle joint involves several bones: medial and lateral malleoli of the tibia and fibula head of the talus calcaneus (heel bone) Sport Books Publisher

32 Foot and Toe Joints Intertarsal joints Between tarsals
transverse tarsal joint between the proximal and distal row of tarsal bones movement - inversion-eversion of the sole of the foot This action enables you to adjust to uneven ground when walking or running Tarsals Sport Books Publisher

33 Foot and Toes Joints Cont’d
Tarsometatarsal Metatarsophalangeal Interphalangeal As in the hand, there are joints between the tarsal bones, metatarsals and phalanges: Tarsometatarsal Metatarsophalangeal Interphalangeal They are strengthened by plantar ligaments which aid in maintaining the arch of the foot Sport Books Publisher
