Classification of Joints by Movement
• Synarthroses (synarthrotic joints) – non movable
most fibrous joints
e.g. sutures
• Amphiarthroses (amphiarthrotic joints) – semimovable
mostly cartilaginous
e.g. intervertebral disks
• Diarthroses (diarthrotic joints) – movable joints
synovial joints

Classification of Joints by Structure
Fibrous joints – composed of fibrous (inelastic)
connective tissue.
sutures – between cranial bones
syndesmoses – e.g. tibia-fibular joint,
Non-movable
3
Fibrous joints are mostly non-movable joints, but some are slightly
movable.

In sutures there is a layer of dense fibrous (inelastic connective) tissue
between the bones.

In syndesmoses there is a fibrous ligament connecting the bones
together.

Cartilaginous Joints - formed by cartilage, are
semimovable
synchondroses – costal cartilage and
epiphyseal plate – hyaline cartilage.
symphyses – intervertebral disks and
symphysis pubis – fibrocartilage

Synchondroses
Costal cartilage
First rib and
sternum
Hyaline cartilages
Epiphyseal plate
7
Although all the cartilage connecting ribs with sternum is similar in
structure, only that connecting the first rib is considered a
synchondrosis. Epiphyseal plates are also considered as
synchondroses, although they are no longer joints once ossification is
complete.
7
Symphyses
Intervertebral disk
Symphysis
pubis
8
Both the intervertebral disks and the symphysis pubis are composed of
the same fibrocartilage structure.

Synovial Joints
• movable joints
• contain a joint capsule of synovial membrane

Joint cavity
10
The joint cavity inside the articular capsule is filled with synovial fluid
which lubricates the movement of the joint. Extracapsular ligaments
are found on virtually all synovial joints, as well as some other joints.
They hold the bones in position. Certain synovial joints, for example the
knee, also have intracapsular ligaments. These control degree and
direction of movement.

Bursae and tendon sheaths are synovial sacks located outside the joint.
They lubricate the movement of ligaments and tendons allowing them to
slide against other structures without tearing.
11
Types of Synovial
Joints:
Non-axial Joints
Figure 8.7 (a)
Gliding or planar joints – bones slide
against one another.
e.g. between carpals or tarsals
12
A Plane joint is a non-axial joint. Its sliding movement allows flexibility of
the wrist and ankle.
12
Uniaxial Joints –
movement in one axis
e.g. hinge joints:
Elbow, knee.
Pivot joints:
e.g. radius with
ulna and humerus,
atlas-axis
Figure 8.7 (b)
13
Hinge joints are uniaxial joints, they move in one plane or on one axis
only. Flexion and extension are the reciprocal movements at these
joints.
13
Movements at Uniaxial Joints:
180o
Flexion – decreasing the
angle between two bones or
parts.
•Begin at anatomical position
•Reduce angle from 180o
14
Consider each movement beginning with the body in anatomical
position. A straight line drawn through the body indicates angles of 180
degrees at anatomical position. Reducing those angles ofr knee or
brachium produces flexion.
14
Extension – increasing the angle between two
bones or parts.

Atlas and head rotate around

18
Pivot joints are also uniaxial, the one axis being in the center of the
movement.

Thigh
19
The brachium also rotates in the shoulder joint. To best demonstrate
and distinguish between pronation and supination, first bend the elbow.
19
Rotation of the Radius
Supination – to move palm up
Pronation – to move palm down
20
Despite popular usage, supination and pronation refer only to the hand.
20
Biaxial Joints – movement in two axes
e.g. condyloid joints,
saddle joint
Other condyloid joints include
the occipito-atlas and the
tibia-talus joints.
Figure 8.7 (d)
21
Condyloid and saddle joints are very similar with slightly different
shapes. Both are biaxial joints. The movements performed are flexion,
extension, adduction, and abudction, along with circumduction, a
combination of the other four.
21
Abduction –
to move
away from
the midline
or apart.
Adduction –
to move
toward the
midline or
together.
Additional
Movements at
Biaxial Joints
Circumduction – a sequence
of movements in which one
end inscribes a circle.
22
The reference for abduction and adduction is the midline of the body,
or another adjacent part.
22
Multiaxial Joints
e.g. ball-and-socket joints:
shoulder, hip

• Perform all movements discussed

Other Movements
Elevation – to raise a part
Depression – to lower a part
Protraction – to move a part forward
Retraction – to move a part backward
26
You can elevate and depress many parts such as the scapula, pelvis,
jaw, etc. These parts also can protract and retract.

Unlike the shoulder, the hip joint has a deep fossa which supports the
tremendous force placed on it. Even walking normally places a force on
this joint of many times the body’s weight.

Arthritis: Inflammation of the joints
osteoarthritis –
•most common type of arthritis (90%)
•deterioration of the articular cartilage which then
leads to the formation of calcifications or bone
spurs.
• little, if any, actual inflammation occurs.
• articular cartilage deteriorates because of age,
stress, and injury.

Above: Osteoarthritis of the
shoulder joint (humeral head).
Right: osteoarthritis of the
vertebral column.
46
On the left is seen osteoarthritis of the shoulder joint. The normal
articular cartilage is shown by A, the result of the arthritis is seen as the
calcifications in B. Note the calcified masses between the vertebrae in
the photo on the right.
46
Rheumatoid arthritis • the most severely debilitating form of arthritis
• affects less than 10% of arthritis sufferers.
• autoimmune disease:
ƒimmune system cells release chemicals which
attack the joint tissues.
ƒ Severe inflammation results in great pain.
ƒ fibrous tissue causes stiffness
ƒ fibrous tissue may ossify to immobilize joint
47
Pain relieving drugs and surgery, even joint replacement, are the
treatments.

Gouty arthritis • genetic disorder in the ability to metabolize uric
acid.
•uric acid crystals build up in the soft joint tissues
and causes their inflammation and destruction.

Joint Injuries
A sprain involves twisting of the joint, often with
accompanying stretching and tearing of
ligaments.
A strain - a pulling of a muscle tendon and other
connective tissues in muscles, but not the joint
tissues.
luxation is a dislocation in which a bone such as
the humerus or femur pulls away from its
position in the socket of the joint.
A separation occurs when the fibrous tissue in a
syndesmosis stretches or tears.
49
These ligaments are slow to heal because of their lack of
vascularization; support or immobilization is the treatment. With very
severe sprains involving intracapsular ligaments surgery may be
performed to reattach the ligaments or replace them with a portion of a
ligament from some other location.
Small strains are normal and the inflammation produced causes the
soreness you may experience after strenuous exercise. Major pulls
result from more severe stretching and take longer to heal.
A complete luxation may stretch or tear accompanying ligaments to the
point they will not return to normal. Partial dislocation or subluxation is
more common and the bone can usually be returned manually to its
normal position.
The most common separation is a shoulder separation in which the
clavicle pulls away from its attachment to the acromion process of the
scapula.
