JOINTS  Joints and their classification  bony joints  fibrous joints  cartilaginous joints  Synovial joints 7-1 JOINTS AND THEIR CLASSIFICATION Arthrology = study of the joints  Kinesiology = study of musculoskeletal movement  Classified by freedom of movement   diarthrosis (freely movable)  amphiarthrosis (slightly movable)  synarthrosis (little or no movement)  Classified how adjacent bones are joined  fibrous, cartilaginous, bony or synovial 7-2 BONY JOINT (SYNOSTOSIS)  Gap between two bones ossifies  frontal and mandibular bones in infants  cranial sutures in elderly  attachment of first rib and sternum  Can occur in either fibrous or cartilaginous joint 7-3 FIBROUS JOINTS (SYNARTHROSIS)  Collagen fibers span the space between bones  sutures, gomphoses and syndesmoses 7-4 FIBROUS JOINT -- SUTURES     Immovable fibrous joints  bind skull bones together Serrate - interlocking lines  coronal, sagittal and lambdoid sutures Lap - overlapping beveled edges  temporal and parietal bones Plane - straight, nonoverlapping edges  palatine processes of the maxillae 7-5 FIBROUS JOINT -- GOMPHOSES Attachment of a tooth to its socket  Held in place by fibrous periodontal ligament   collagen  fibers attach tooth to jawbone Some movement while chewing 7-6 FIBROUS JOINT -- SYNDESMOSIS  Two bones bound by ligament only  interosseus membrane Most movable of fibrous joints  Interosseus membranes unite radius to ulna and tibia to fibula  7-7 CARTILAGINOUS JOINT -- SYNCHONDROSIS  Bones are joined by hyaline cartilage  rib attachment to sternum  epiphyseal plate in children binds epiphysis and diaphysis 7-8 CARTILAGINOUS JOINT -- SYMPHYSIS  2 bones joined by fibrocartilage  pubic  symphysis and intervertebral discs Only slight amount of movement is possible 7-9 SYNOVIAL JOINT   Joint in which two bones are separated by a space called a joint cavity Most are freely movable 7-10 GENERAL ANATOMY  Articular capsule encloses joint cavity      Synovial fluid = slippery fluid; feeds cartilages Articular cartilage = hyaline cartilage covering the joint surfaces Articular discs and menisci     continuous with periosteum lined by synovial membrane jaw, wrist, sternoclavicular and knee joints absorbs shock, guides bone movements and distributes forces Tendon attaches muscle to bone Ligament attaches bone to bone 7-11 TENDON SHEATHS AND BURSAE  Bursa = saclike extension of joint capsule   between nearby structures so slide more easily past each other Tendon sheaths = cylinders of connective tissue lined with synovial membrane and wrapped around a tendon 7-12 RANGE OF MOTION Degrees through which a joint can move  Determined by   structure of the articular surfaces  strength and tautness of ligaments, tendons and capsule  stretching of ligaments increases range of motion  double-jointed people have long or slack ligaments  action of the muscles and tendons  nervous system monitors joint position and muscle tone 7-13 TYPES OF SYNOVIAL JOINTS 7-14
