CHAPTER 8 JOINTS
CLASSIFICATION OF JOINTS STRUCTURAL VS FUNCTIONAL
The most moveable type of joint is a 1) Synarthrosis 2) Amphiarthrosis 3) Diarthrosis
FIBROUS JOINTS
Figure 8.1 Fibrous joints. (a) Suture Joint held together with very short, interconnecting fibers, and bone edges interlock. Found only in the skull. (b) Syndesmosis Joint held together by a ligament. Fibrous tissue can vary in length, but is longer than in sutures. (c) Gomphosis Peg in socket fibrous joint. Periodontal ligament holds tooth in socket. Suture line Fibula Tibia Socket of alveolar process Root of tooth Dense fibrous connective tissue Ligament Periodontal ligament
CARTILAGINOUSJOINTS
Figure 8.2 Cartilaginous joints. (a) Synchondroses Bones united by hyaline cartilage Epiphyseal plate (temporary hyaline cartilage joint) Sternum (manubrium) Joint between first rib and sternum (immovable) (b) Symphyses Bones united by fibrocartilage Body of vertebra Fibrocartilaginous intervertebral disc Hyaline cartilage Pubic symphysis
A suture joins two cranial bones via 1) Tendons 2) Ligaments 3) Dense fibrous connective tissue 4) Hyaline cartilage 5) Fibrocartilage
SYNOVIAL JOINTS
Figure 8.3 General structure of a synovial joint. Ligament Synovial cavity (contains synovial fluid) Articular (hyaline) cartilage Fibrous capsule Synovial membrane Periosteum Articular capsule
Figure 8.4a Bursae and tendon sheaths. Acromion of scapula Coracoacromial ligament Subacromial bursa Fibrous articular capsule Tendon sheath Tendon of long head of biceps brachii muscle Humerus Joint cavity containing synovial fluid Hyaline cartilage Synovial membrane Fibrous capsule (a) Frontal section through the right shoulder joint
True or false: All synovial joints have bursae. 1) True 2) False
True or false: All synovial joints have articular capsules. 1) True 2) False
MOVEMENTS ALLOWED BY SYNOVIAL JOINTS

Figure 8.5c Movements allowed by synovial joints. Extension Hyperextension Flexion (c) Angular movements: flexion, extension, and hyperextension of the vertebral column
Figure 8.5d Movements allowed by synovial joints. Flexion Extension Flexion Extension (d) Angular movements: flexion and extension at the shoulder and knee
Figure 8.5e Movements allowed by synovial joints. Abduction Adduction Circumduction (e) Angular movements: abduction, adduction, and circumduction of the upper limb at the shoulder
Figure 8.5f Movements allowed by synovial joints. Rotation Lateral rotation Medial rotation (f) Rotation of the head, neck, and lower limb

Figure 8.6b Special body movements. Dorsiflexion Plantar flexion (b) Dorsiflexion and plantar flexion
Figure 8.6c Special body movements. Inversion Eversion (c) Inversion and eversion
Figure 8.6d Special body movements. Protraction of mandible Retraction of mandible (d) Protraction and retraction
Figure 8.6e Special body movements. Elevation of mandible Depression of mandible (e) Elevation and depression
Figure 8.6f Special body movements. Opposition (f) Opposition
Turning your palms face down is. 1) Rotation 2) Circumduction 3) Pronation 4) Supination
Bending your knee is an example of. 1) Flexion 2) Extension 3) Dorsiflexion 4) Plantar flexion
