Study Notes

Synovial Joints and Joint Functions

Synovial fluid lubricates articular cartilage, reducing friction in synovial joints.
The patella moves along the femur in the patellofemoral joint, essential for knee movement.
The temporomandibular joint connects the mandible to the temporal bone, allowing jaw movement.
Synovial joints have a fluid-filled cavity and are characterized by the presence of articular cartilage.

Types of Joint Movements

Supination is the lateral rotation of the forearm, turning the palm upward, while pronation is the medial rotation, turning the palm downward.
Abduction refers to moving a limb away from the midline, whereas adduction brings it closer to the midline.
Flexion decreases the angle between bones, and extension increases it.
Circumduction is a circular movement combining flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction.

Joint Classifications and Examples

Hinge joints include the knee, elbow, and interphalangeal joints, allowing flexion and extension.
Ball-and-socket joints, like the glenohumeral and hip joints, allow for a full range of movements.
Plane joints, such as intertarsal and intercarpal joints, allow small gliding movements.
Syndesmosis joints connect bones with dense regular connective tissue, while sutures are immobile fibrous joints found in the skull.

Joint Features and Ligaments

Ligaments connect bones and reinforce joint stability; the tibial collateral ligament supports the knee medially.
Bursae are fluid-filled sacs that reduce friction in joints, while fat pads provide cushioning.
The articular disc partitions the sternoclavicular joint, increasing its mobility.

Clinical Considerations

The "unhappy triad" of knee injuries commonly involves the medial meniscus, tibial collateral ligament, and anterior cruciate ligament.
Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent type of arthritis, often affecting synovial joints.
Common sprains, especially in the ankle, arise from over-inversion or over-eversion.

Specialized Movements

Dorsiflexion raises the foot toward the leg, while plantar flexion lowers it as seen in tiptoeing.
Inversion turns the sole of the foot medially, while lateral flexion refers to the trunk bending sideways.
Opposition occurs when the thumb moves towards the fingers' tips, facilitating grasping motions.

Developmental Aspects

Synchondroses, such as the epiphyseal plate, are cartilaginous joints critical for growth.
Mobility and stability often trade off in joint design; more mobile joints tend to be less stable.

Miscellaneous Facts

The ACL is weaker compared to other knee ligaments, emphasizing the need for injury prevention strategies.
Fat pads are present around synovial joints for protection and cushioning during movement.
