Articulation

(anatomy) the point of connection between two bones or elements of a skeleton (especially if the articulation allows motion)

Flexion

C

Medial rotation

C

Two methods to classify joints are:

1. anatomical structure 2. function or range of motion

Syndesmosis (fibrous Joint)

2 bones bond together by ligament only; interosseus membrane -Amphiarthrosis (slightly movable)

Flexion

Decreases the angle between articulating bones. Ex: Bend the knee or elbow.

Planar Joint (synovial joint)

Have a flat or slightly curved part of one bone articulating with another flat or slightly curved portion of another bone. This allows for movement in one plane (side-to-side or back-and-forth) without movement around an axis. Ex: Intervertebral joints between articular facets, patellar-femoral joint, sternocostal joint 2-7

Ball-and-socket Joint (synovial joint)

Have the ball-shaped head of one bone fitting into a socket-like depression on another bone. These joints are multiaxial or are able to rotate as well as move in multiple directions. s a result, these joints allow for the most movement of any synovial joint. EX: Shoulder joint, Hip joint.

Pronation (radius rotates over ulna)

B

fibrous joints

Bones held together by fibrous connective tissue; no synovial cavity. EX: Sagittal suture

Extension

Increases the angle between articulating bones. Ex: Restoring head to normal anatomical position; returning palm to normal.

Saddle Joint (synovial joint)

Modified condyloid joints in which there are 2 "saddle shaped" articular surfaces rotated 90 degrees to one another. This allows for both an up-and-down motion and a side-to-side motion. EX: Caprometacarpal I Joint, Sternoclavicular joint

Hinge Joint (synovial joint)

Monoxial joints (move onlyin one plane) in which the convex surface of one bone slides over the concave surface of another bone. EX: Knee joint, elbow joint, interphalangeal joints, ankle joints

hip joint

ball and socket joint

A saddle joint permits _____ movement but prevents ____ movement a) rotational, gliding b) angular, gliding c) gliding, rotational d) angular, rotational

c) gliding, rotational

flexion

decreases the angle between articulating bones

5 examples of angular movement

flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and circumduction

extension

increases the angle between articulating bones

meniscus

is a pad of fibrocartilage located between opposing bones within a synovial joint.
