Joints of the human body. Joints of the human body. Joints are the point of contact (articulations) between two connecting bones. The stability and the integrity of joints are maintained by strands of connective tissue called ligaments, which hold bones together. Classification of Joints. - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Joints of the human bodyJoints are the point of contact

(articulations) between two connecting bones.

The stability and the integrity of joints are maintained by strands of connective tissue called ligaments, which hold bones together.

Classification of JointsStructural classification of joints

recognize three types of joints.

Fibrous Joints

Cartilaginous Joints

Synovial Joints

Classification of Joints (Structure)Joint types

Description Examples

Fibrous Joints

Bound tightly together by connective tissue and allow no movement.

The sutures between the bones of the skull (vault)

Cartilaginous Joints:

The body of one bone connects with the body of another by means of cartilage. These joints can absorb shock, and allow slight movement.

The intervertebral disks of the vertebral column & Symphysis pubis

Synovial Joints:

Joints that allow the greatest range of motion. Bony surfaces are separated by a lubricating fluid and by cartilage. They are also joined by ligaments that enclose the end of articulating bones and form the capsule containing the synovial membrane

Knee joint

Shoulder joint

Hip joint

Etc.

Page 5: Joints of the human body

Characteristics of a Synovial Joint1. Articulating cartilage:

The hyaline cartilage located at the ends of the bones allow for smooth contact surfaces for bones to move.

They also act as shock absorbers

Page 6: Joints of the human body

Characteristics of a Synovial Joint2. Joint capsule:

Consists of a synovial membrane and a fibrous capsule.

Synovial membrane: Allows certain nutrients to pass through

Fibrous capsule: Keeps synovial fluid is

Page 8: Joints of the human body

Characteristics of a Synovial Joint3. Joint Cavity

Located between to bony surfaces, this cavity is filled with synovial fluid which lubricates the joint.

This lubricant reduces friction between the bones, and also provides nutrients for the articulating cartilage

Characteristics of a Synovial Joint4. Bursae

These small fluid-filled sacs are found at friction points between ligaments, tendons, and bones.

They provide cusion, reduce friction and allow free movement in the joint.

Characteristics of a Synovial Joint5. Intrinsic Ligaments

Thick bands of connective tissue that reinforce the joint capsule

6. Extrinsic Ligaments Seperate from the joint capsule, they

help reinforce the joint by attaching the bones together

Types of Synovial JointsSynovial joints are often

distinguished by the kind of movement the joint permits.

There are 6 types of synovial joints: Hinge Joints Pivot Joints Ellipsoid (Condyloid) Joints Saddle Joints Ball and socket Joints Plane (Glidding) Joints

Page 14: Joints of the human body

Hinge JointsUnilateral JointOne articulating surface

is convex and the other is concave

Examples: Humero-ulnar joint Interphalangeal joints (fingers)

Page 15: Joints of the human body

Pivot JointsUnilateral JointOne bone rotates around one axis

Example: atlantoaxial joint Radioulnar joint

Page 16: Joints of the human body

Ellipsoid (Condyloid) JointsBilateral

(flexion-extension, abduction-adduction)One surface is a ovular convex

shape, and the other is a reciprocally concave surface.

Page 17: Joints of the human body

Saddle JointBilateral

(flexion-extension, abduction-adduction)Bone are set together as in

sitting on a horse

Example Carpometacarpal joint

Page 19: Joints of the human body

Ball and Socket JointTrilateralA rounded bone is fitted into a

cup-like receptacle

Examples: Iliofemoral joint Glenohumeral joint

Page 20: Joints of the human body

Gliding JointUnilateralJoint permits gliding movementsThe bone surfaces are nearly flat,

so the only movement allowed is a gliding action
