Study Notes
Articulations Overview
- All articulations contain some type of cartilage.
- "Diarthrosis" refers to a freely mobile joint.
- Fibrous joints involve dense regular connective tissue connecting articulating surfaces.
Types of Joints
- The sagittal suture is a fibrous joint found between specific skull bones.
- Gomphoses are joints located exclusively in tooth sockets, classified functionally as synarthrosis, meaning they are immobile.
- The interosseous membrane between the radius and ulna is an example of syndesmosis, which is structurally a fibrous joint and functionally an amphiarthrosis, providing some movement.
- Synarthrosis joints have low mobility and high stability.
Cartilaginous Joints
- The pubic symphysis is recognized as a cartilaginous joint and classified as an amphiarthrosis, allowing slight movement.
- A synchondrosis is present between the sphenoid and occipital bones in young individuals.
- Fibrocartilage is the type of cartilage found in a symphysis.
Synovial Joints Characteristics
- An articular capsule is present in synovial joints to encapsulate the joint space.
- Synovial fluid nourishes the articular cartilage but does not circulate blood within the joint cavity.
- Features of a synovial joint do not include muscles, but they do contain bursae, which are fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joints.
Synovial Joint Classifications
- The elbow is classified as a uniaxial joint due to its movement in one plane.
- Ball and socket joints are examples of multiaxial joints, allowing movement in multiple directions.
- Plane joints do not have at least one rounded or convex surface and are categorized as the simplest and least mobile synovial joints.
- Pivot joints, such as the one formed by the axis and atlas, enable "no" shaking of the head.
- Metatarsophalangeal joints are condylar joints allowing movement in two planes.
Movement and Leverage
- Resistance arm refers to the distance between the fulcrum and a heavy load in a lever system.
- Calf muscles contracting to cause plantar flexion resemble a second-class lever mechanism, like a wheelbarrow.
- Adduction is the movement of a body part toward the main axis of the body, while lateral flexion occurs when the trunk moves laterally away from the body.
- Hyperextension of the neck occurs when the head is tilted backward to look at the ceiling.
