Study Notes

Joint Characteristics

  • All joints are connections between neighboring bones.

Types of Joints

  • Diarthrotic joints: Freely movable joints, allowing a wide range of motion.
  • Synarthrotic joints: Immovable joints, offering no movement.
  • Amphiarthrotic joints: Slightly movable joints, providing limited movement.

Joint Classifications Based on Structure

  • Fibrous joints: Consist of bone ends held together by collagen fibers; can be classified as:
    • Synarthrotic joints: Tightly connected with no movement.
    • Amphiarthrotic joints: More loosely connected, allowing slight movement.
  • Cartilaginous joints: Bone ends held together by hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage; classified as amphiarthrotic or slightly movable joints.
  • Synovial joints: Bone ends held together by a joint capsule; these joints are freely movable (diarthrotic).

Fibrous Joint Types

  • Suture: A fibrous joint between bones of the skull.
  • Syndesmosis: Joint occurring between the distal end of the tibia and fibula, connected by a band of collagen.
  • Gomphosis: Joint that anchors a tooth in its socket via the fibrous periodontal ligament.

Cartilaginous Joints

  • Characterized by bone ends bound together by hyaline or fibrocartilage.

Synovial Joint Structure

  • Surrounded by a two-layer joint capsule enclosing a synovial cavity filled with synovial fluid.
  • Outer layer: Made of dense connective tissue, continuous with the periosteum, may include ligaments for reinforcement.
  • Accessory structures: Include ligaments located outside the capsule.
  • Inner layer: Synovial membrane, consisting of loose connective tissue, secretes synovial fluid that lubricates the joint.

Special Features of Synovial Joints

  • Menisci: Fibrocartilage discs within the joint, aiding in shock absorption and stability.
  • Bursae: Fluid-filled sacs that cushion and reduce friction in the joint.
  • Articular cartilage: Protective layer covering the ends of bones within the joint.

Joint Capsule Presence

  • Joint capsules are associated exclusively with synovial joints.

Synovial Joint Classifications

  • Plane joints: Consist of two flat bone ends allowing gliding movements.
  • Pivot joints: Feature one cylindrical bone end that rotates within a ring formed by another bone and a ligament.
  • Ball-and-socket joints: Characterized by the head of one bone fitting into a cup-shaped depression of another bone, allowing for a wide range of motion.
