What is a joint?

Page 3: 08 Articulations   General Features

Articulations (joints) frequently allow movement between bones. However, not all joints are flexible or moveable.

Page 4: 08 Articulations   General Features

Arthrology is the study of joints

Page 5: 08 Articulations   General Features

Kinesiology is the study of the functional relationship of the skeleton, joints, muscles, and nerves.

Page 6: 08 Articulations   General Features

The structure of a joint greatly determines the range of movement

Page 7: 08 Articulations   General Features

Mobility versus Stability. You cannot have both!

Page 8: 08 Articulations   General Features

There are 3 types of structural joints and there are 3 types of functional articulations. You must know the terms for all of them!

Page 9: 08 Articulations   General Features

Shown is the fractured humerus of a Native American that was not immobilized to allow healing and fusion. It eventually progressed to form a false joint (pseudoarthrosis) in the brachium.

Page 11: 08 Articulations   General Features

Gomphoses are fibrous synarthrotic joints only found in the maxillae and mandible where the root of the tooth is attached to the alveolus

Page 12: 08 Articulations   General Features
Page 13: 08 Articulations   General Features

Read about gomphoses and orthodontic braces in the clinical view in the text.

Page 14: 08 Articulations   General Features
Page 15: 08 Articulations   General Features

Sutures are initially fibrous synarthrotic joints that are only found in the skull. They replace the membranous fontanels at about 18 months of age. In early adulthood the fibrous connective tissue is replaced by bone so the skull bones are bone fused to bone (a synostosis).

Page 16: 08 Articulations   General Features

A syndesmosis also exists between the distal ends of the radius and ulna. It also allows slight movement (amphiarthrotic).

Page 17: 08 Articulations   General Features

A syndesmosis exists between the distal ends of the tibia and fibula and is permits slight movement (amphiarthrotic)

Page 18: 08 Articulations   General Features

Syndesmoses are possible because of the interosseous membrane that holds the bones together, while still allowing slight movement.

Page 19: 08 Articulations   General Features

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS CORRECT ABOUT ORTHODONTIC BRACES?

A APPLIED IN THE BUCCAL CAVITY

B CAUSE TENSION ON PERIODONTAL LIGAMENTS

C ALTER FIBROUS JOINTS

D AFFECT SYNARTHROSES

E ALL OF THE ABOVE

Page 20: 08 Articulations   General Features

Synchondroses are joined together by hyaline cartilage and, since they are immovable, they are also synarthroses.

Page 21: 08 Articulations   General Features

Synchondroses have hyaline cartilage between the articulating bone segments. One example is epiphyseal growth plates. These growth plates eventually become synostoses.

Page 22: 08 Articulations   General Features

Costal cartilage persists into adulthood and forms sychondroses. In old age these cartilages do occasionally ossify and form synostoses.

Page 23: 08 Articulations   General Features

Symphyses are joined together by fibrocartilage and, since they are slightly moveable, they are also amphiarthroses.

Page 24: 08 Articulations   General Features

The pubic symphysis is an amphiarthrotic cartilaginous joint that can be loosened by hormones produced in pregnancy.

Page 25: 08 Articulations   General Features

Recall that the hormone relaxin loosens the symphysis pubis and the sacroiliac joint during pregnancy to increase the diameter of the true pelvis and the pelvic outlet to facilitate parturition.

Page 26: 08 Articulations   General Features

symphysis

Intervertebral joints between the bodies of the vertebrae and their separating intervertebral discs form amphiarthrotic symphyses

Page 28: 08 Articulations   General Features

Synovial joints are diarthrotic (freely moveable) joints encased by joint capsules that contain joint (synovial) fluid.

Page 29: 08 Articulations   General Features

Diarthrotic synovial joints are the most obvious type of articulation in the body.

Page 30: 08 Articulations   General Features

A synovial joint’s range of motion is limited by the shape of the articulating bones, ligaments, tendons, the joint capsule, and by muscles that span the joint.

Page 31: 08 Articulations   General Features

There is tremendous individual variability in joint motility, most of which is related to body conditioning.

Page 32: 08 Articulations   General Features

Hypermobility of a single joint (“double-jointed”) makes an individual more prone to joint dislocation and damage to the joint and joint capsule.

Page 36: 08 Articulations   General Features

Read the clinical view in the text about Marfan Syndrome

Page 37: 08 Articulations   General Features

Synovial joints are enclosed by a fibroelastic joint capsule, which has an outer layer called the fibrous capsule and in inner layer called the synovial membrane..

Page 38: 08 Articulations   General Features

The synovial membrane secretes a viscous oily synovial fluid which lubricates the articular cartilage and which brings nutrients and removes wastes from the chondrocytes

Page 39: 08 Articulations   General Features

The popping sound that occurs when a joint is pulled or stretched is typically caused by gas bubbles that form in the synovial fluid and burst (causing the popping sound) when the pressure in the synovial fluid is decreased.

Page 40: 08 Articulations   General Features

Popping sounds of the back when stretched or pressed can also be caused by rupturing gas bubbles in the synovial fluid or by sudden repositioning of articular surfaces

Page 41: 08 Articulations   General Features

Since articular cartilage is avascular, it heals poorly. In this endoscopic view of the knee, the doctor is drilling holes through the damaged articular cartilage into the bony epiphysis so blood can reach the cartilage to affect repair.

Page 42: 08 Articulations   General Features

Articular cartilage of the knee after holes are drilled into the bony epiphysis so blood can reach the cartilage to promote healing.

Page 43: 08 Articulations   General Features

The repititious compression/relaxation that occurs during exercise is vital to the articular cartilage’s well-being because the accompanying pumping action enhances its nutrition and waste removal from the surrounding synovial fluid.

Page 44: 08 Articulations   General Features

Ligaments, which connect bones to bones across a joint, are composed of dense fibrous connective tissue. The elbow is shown.

Page 48: 08 Articulations   General Features
Page 49: 08 Articulations   General Features

Numerous tendon sheaths are found spanning the wrist and ankle joints

Page 50: 08 Articulations   General Features

Tendons, which are not part of the joint itself, are composed of dense fibrous connective tissue. Tendons connect muscles to bones and help stabilize joints. They sometimes limit the range of motion of the joint.

Page 51: 08 Articulations   General Features

Planar (gliding) joints are uniaxial. Examples are intercarpal joints and intertarsal joints

Page 52: 08 Articulations   General Features

The articulating processes (superior articular processes of one vertebrae articulate with inferior articular processes of another vertebrae) of adjacent vertebrae are diarthrotic synovial gliding (planar) joints.

Page 53: 08 Articulations   General Features

Note that that the spine is a synovial gliding (planar) joint between the vertebral articular processes and an amphiarthrotic symphysis between the vertebral bodies.

Page 54: 08 Articulations   General Features

Hinge joints are uniaxial joints

Page 55: 08 Articulations   General Features

The acetabulofemoral (hip) joint is a diarthrotic synovial ball-and-socket joint. It is multiaxial.

Page 67: 08 Articulations   General Features

The glenohumeral (shoulder) joint is a diarthrotic synovial ball-and-socket joint. It is multiaxial.

Page 68: 08 Articulations   General Features

The ball-and-socket joints of the shoulder and hip provide great range of motion! They are multiaxial.

Page 70: 08 Articulations   General Features

Bones act as levers to help move the resistance (R), the muscles provide the force or effort (E), and the joints act as pivots or fulcra (F).

Page 71: 08 Articulations   General Features

Ankle

Gliding motion is a simple movement in which two opposing surfaces slide slightly back-and-forth or side-to-side to one another. The angle between the bones does not change.
