2.  Joints are articulations : ◦ where two or more bones meet  Functions: ◦ Hold bones together ◦ Allow for mobility © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

3.  Fibrous joints: = Generally immovable; joint by fibrous tissue ◦ Ex: sutures  Cartilaginous joints: = Immovable or slightly movable; joint by fibrocartilage ◦ Ex: intervertebral joints, pubic symphysis  Synovial joints: = Freely movable; joint by hyaline cartilage and presence of cavity w/ synovial fluid © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

4.  Four distinguishing features of synovial joints 1.Articular cartilage 2.Articular capsule 3.Joint cavity 4.Reinforcing ligaments © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

8. Bursae—flattened fibrous sacs – Lined with synovial membranes – Filled with synovial fluid Tendon sheath – Elongated bursa that wraps around a tendon The cells of these structures secrete synovial fluid that lubricates the joint © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

9.  Types of synovial joints based on shape: ◦ Plane joint- gliding movements (wrist) ◦ Hinge joint- elbow, ankle, knee ◦ Pivot joint- C1/C2, proximal radius and ulna ◦ Condylar joint- metacarpals to phalanges ◦ Saddle joint- metacarpals to carpal at pollex ◦ Ball-and-socket joint- shoulder, hip © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

10.  Bursitis—inflammation of a bursa  Tendonitis—inflammation of tendon sheaths  Arthritis—inflammatory or degenerative diseases of joints ◦ The most widespread crippling disease in the United States © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

11.  Osteoarthritis (OA) ◦ Most common; related to normal aging processes ◦ Due to wear/tear, bone spurs  Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) ◦ autoimmune disease—the immune system attacks the joints  Unknown cause; pathogenic cause probable © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

12.  Fetal skeleton ◦ hyaline cartilage and fibrous membranes  Cranium size vs. body ◦ 2 years old—skull is larger in proportion to body ◦ 8 or 9 years old—skull near adult size ◦ cranium growth after birth relates to brain growth  Adolescence ◦ Epiphyseal plates ossify; long bone growth ends © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
