Joints of the Human Body

ASA Bio 2014Williams

Joints • Where 2 (or more) bones

come together• Allows movement• Represent the weakest

part of the skeleton

Types of Joints• 3 types of joints

o Immovable (Synarthrosis)o Slightly movable (amphiarthrosis)o Fully movable (diarthrosis)

Immovable (Synarthrosis)

• No movement between bones• “Fibrous” joints

o Sutures

Immovable (Synarthrosis)

• No movement between bones• “Fibrous” joints

o Sutures o Syndesmosis

Immovable (Synarthrosis)

• No movement between bones• “Fibrous” Joints

o Sutures o SyndesmosisoGomphosis

Slightly Movable (Amphiarthrosis)

• Very slight movement• “Cartilaginous” joints

o Synchondrosis

Slightly Movable (Amphiarthrosis)

• Very slight movement• “Cartilaginous” joints

o Synchondrosis o Symphysis

Fully Movable (Diarthrosis)

• Greatest degree of flexibility• “Synovial” joints

o Plane joint (arthroidal)

Fully Movable (Diarthrosis)

• Greatest degree of flexibility• “Synovial” joints

o Plane joint (arthroidal)o Hinge joint (ginglymus)

Fully Movable (Diarthrosis)

• Greatest degree of flexibility• “Synovial” joints

o Plane joint (arthroidal)o Hinge joint (ginglymus)o Pivot joint (trochoid)

Fully Movable (Diarthrosis)

• Greatest degree of flexibility• “Synovial” joints

o Plane joint (arthroidal)o Hinge joint (ginglymus)o Pivot joint (trochoid) oCondyloid (ellipsoid)

Fully Movable (Diarthrosis)

• Greatest degree of flexibility• “Synovial” joints

o Plane joint (arthroidal)o Hinge joint (ginglymus)o Pivot joint (trochoid) oCondyloid (ellipsoid)o Saddle joint (sellar)

Fully Movable (Diarthrosis)

• Greatest degree of flexibility• “Synovial” joints

o Plane joint (arthroidal)o Hinge joint (ginglymus)o Pivot joint (trochoid) oCondyloid (ellipsoid)o Saddle joint (sellar)oBall & socket (spheroidal)

“Synovial” Joints

• Articular capsuleoCartilage (hyaline) o Fibrous joint

capsuleo Synovial

membraneo Synovial fluid

Joints• Ligaments: fibrous band

that connects two boneso Limits the range of

motion at the joint

Joints• Ligaments: fibrous band

that connects two boneso Limits the range of

motion at the joint• Cartilage: connective

tissue that surrounds the ends of bones o Protects bones from

wearing down

Joints of the Body• Plane joint

o Wrist (inter-carpal), Ankle (inter-tarsal), Patella

Joints of the Body• Hinge joint

o Elbow (humerus/ulna), Knee (femur/tibia), Fingers & Toes (inter-phalangeal), Jaw (temporomandibular)

Joints of the Body• Pivot joint

o Forearm (elbow/radius/ulna), Neck (atlanto-axial)

Joints of the Body• Condyloid joint

o Knuckles (metacarpal-phalangeal), Neck (atlanto-occipital)

Joints of the Body• Saddle joint

o Thumb

Joints of the Body• Ball & socket joint

o Shoulder (gleno-humeral), Hip (ilio-femoral)
