articular capsule

1. Structure that encloses the synovial Joint & synovial cavity; 2. two layers: fibrous capsule and synovial membrane

tendon sheath

1. ____is essentially an elongated bursa that wraps around a tendon like a bun around a hot dog. 2. occur only on tendons that are subjected to friction.

Synchondrosis

1. a joint where hyaline cartilage unites the bones 2. eg. epiphyseal plates (immovable) 3. eg. immovable joint between the first rib's costal cartilage and the manubrium of the sternum

Symphyses

1. a joint where the fibrocartilage unites the bones 2. slightlly movable joints that provide strength and flexibility 2. eg. intervertebral discs; pubic symphysis of the pelvis 4. hyaline cartilage is also present in the form of articular cartilage on the bony surfaces

articular disc

1. also known as meniscus it is a dense fibrous connective tissue that is thicker at the ends and attached to the condyle 2. composed of fibrocartilage, located within the joint cavity occur in the temporomandibular (jaw) joint, sternoclavicular joint, knee joint

Syndesmoses

1. bones are connected exclusively by ligaments 2. bands of fibrous tissue longer than those that occur in sutures 3. amount of movement allowed depends on the length of the connecting fibers. 4. eg. SHORT: distal tibiofibular articulation 5. eg. LONG: interosseous membrane between radius and ulna

saddle joint

1. each articular surface has both convex & concave areas (like a saddle) 2. classified as "BIAXIAL" 3. allow movement (1) flexion-extension (2) abduction-adduction 4. eg. bet. meta and carpal 1st carpometacarpal joint (thumb) - allows for oppostion of the thumb

synovial membrane

1. inner layer of articular capsule 2. composed of loose connective tissue 3. covers all the internal joint surfaces not covered by cartilage 4. function: to make synovial fluid

bursa

1. is a flattened fibrous sac lined by a synovial membrane 2. occur where ligaments, muscles, skin, tendons, or bones overlie each other and rub together

Flexion angular movement

1. is movement that decreases the angle between the bones, bringing the bones together 2. usually occurs in the sagittal plane of the body 3. eg. neck, trunk, shoulder, knee

Hyperextension movement of synovial joints

1. is the bending of a joint back beyond its normal range of motion 2. result: break or damage

Fibrous joints

1. the bones are connected by fibrous tissue (dense regular connective tissue) 2. no joint cavity present 3. immovable or slightly movable

sutures

1. the bones are tightly bound by a minimal amount of fibrous tissue 2. occur only between bones of the skull and their fibrous tissue is continuous with the periosteum around these flat bones 3. the edges of the joining bones are wavy and interlocking 4. not only knit the bones together but also allow growth so that the skull can expand with the brain during childhood

cartilaginous joints

1. the bones are united by cartilage 2. no joint cavity exists 3. not highly immovable

Hinge joint

1. the cylindrical end of one bone fits into a trough-shaped surface on another bone 2. angular movement is allowed in just one plane (door hinge): flexion-extension 3. eg. elbow joint, ankle joint, joints bet. the phalanges of the fingers; humerus & ulna 4. classified as "UNIAXIAL"

condyloid joints

1. the egg-shaped articular surface of one bone fits into an oval concavity in another 2. allow movement (1) flexion-extension (2) abduction-adduction 3. CAN'T rotate around its axis 4. classified as "BIAXIAL" - occurs around 2 axes 5. eg. metacarpal and phalanges

Gliding movement (wrist)

1. the movement of nearly flat surfaces of 2 bones slip across each other 2. occurs at the joints between the (1) carpals and tarsal (2) between the flat articular processes of the vertebrae

pivot joint

1. the rounded end of one bone fits into a ring that is formed by another bone + an encircling ligament 2. classified as "UNIAXIAL" - can only rotate around its long axis 3. eg. humerus-radius; atlas - dens of the axis

synovial fluid

1. viscous liquid (raw egg white) inside the joint cavity 2. primarily a filtrate of blood arising from capillaries in the synovial membrane 3. occupies the joint cavity and occurs within the articular cartilages

1. Plane Joint 2. Hinge Joint 3. Pivot Joint 4. Condyloid Joint 5. Saddle Joint 6. Ball-and-socket joint

6 Types of Synovial Joints
