Study Notes
Classification of Joints
- Three main categories: Synarthroses, Amphiarthroses, Diarthroses (Synovial).
- Joints facilitate movement and stability in the skeletal system.
Amphiarthrosis Joints
- Slightly movable joints, allowing minimal to moderate motion.
- Examples:
- Pubic symphysis
- Intervertebral discs
- Xiphisternal joint
Synarthrosis Joints
- Essentially immovable joints; characterized by dense connective tissue.
- Examples include:
- Skull bones
- Teeth in the mandible
- Distal tibiofibular joint
Diarthrosis Joints
- Freely movable joints, providing a large range of motion; also known as synovial joints.
- Key characteristics:
- Supplied with blood.
- May contain discs or peripheral labrum.
- Enclosed in an articular capsule lined with a synovial membrane.
- Contains synovial fluid for lubrication.
- Examples:
- Knee
- Hip
- Shoulder
Joint Movement Classifications
- Synovial joints classified by movement types:
- Hinge
- Pivot
- Ball and socket
- Ellipsoid/Condyloid
- Planar
- Triaxial
- Saddle
Additional Observations
- Diarthroses are often reinforced by ligaments.
- Intervertebral joints are classified as amphiarthrosis (symphyses).
- The elbow joint is a specific type of diarthrosis (hinge joint).
- The axis and atlas in the cervical vertebrae form a diarthrosis joint (pivot joint).
- The pubic symphysis serves as an example of an amphiarthrosis joint.
