    Study Notes

    Anatomical Position

    • The body is standing erect, face forward, feet parallel, arms hanging at the sides, palms facing forward, thumbs pointing away from the body.

    Axes and Planes of the Body

    • Planes:
      • Coronal plane (vertical): divides the body into anterior and posterior parts.
      • Sagittal plane (vertical/medial): divides the body into left and right parts.
      • Transverse plane: divides the body into superior and inferior parts.
    • Axes:
      • Horizontal axis (X-axis): from left to right.
      • Vertical axis (Y-axis): from inferior to superior.
      • Sagittal axis (Z-axis): from anterior to posterior.
      • Uniaxial - movement in one axis,
      • Biaxial - movement in two axes,
      • Multiaxial - movement in multiple axes.

    Classification of Bones by Shape

    • Long bones: tubular (e.g., humerus, ulna, radius, femur, tibia, fibula).
    • Short bones: cuboidal (e.g., carpals, tarsals).
    • Flat bones: two compact bone plates separated by spongy bone (e.g., sternum, ribs, skull).
    • Irregular bones: various shapes (e.g., vertebrae, sacrum).
    • Sesamoid bones: rounded (e.g., patella).

    Classification of Joints

    • Fibrous: no joint cavity, connected by ligaments (e.g., bones in the skull).
    • Cartilaginous: connected by cartilage, no joint cavity (e.g., pubic symphysis).
    • Synovial: fluid-filled joint cavity, allowing free movement (e.g., glenohumeral joint, acetabulofemoral joint).
    • Solid joints: fibrous and cartilaginous joints, limited movement.

    Basic Bone Structure

    • Compact bone: dense, forms the outer shell.
    • Spongy (Cancellous) bone: consists of spicules enclosing marrow cavities.

    Basic Joint Structure

    • Articulating cartilage: reduces friction
    • Joint cavity: space between articulating bones, containing synovial fluid.
    • Synovial membrane: inner layer, secretes synovial fluid for lubrication.
    • Joint/articular capsule: double-layered structure.
    • Ligaments: support and stabilize the joint.
    • Bursae: fluid-filled sacs to reduce friction.
    • Tendons: connect muscles to bones.
    • Fat pads: cushioning and protection.
    • Menisci: fibrocartilage discs for shock absorption.
    • Labrum: fibrocartilaginous ring to deepen articular surfaces.

    Additional Joint Types

    • Plane (gliding) joint: articulating surfaces are slightly curved or flat, allowing them to slide over each other (e.g., intercarpal joints).
    • Pivot joint: rounded surface of one bone articulates with a ring formed by another bone (e.g., atlantoaxial joint).
    • Hinge joint: convex surface of one bone fits into the concave surface of another; allows movement around one axis (e.g., elbow joint).
    • Saddle joint: concave and convex articular surfaces (e.g., carpometacarpal joint of the thumb).
    • Ellipsoid joint: oval-shaped condyles fit into an elliptical cavity; biaxial (flexion, extension, adduction, abduction) (e.g., wrist joint).
    • Ball-and-socket joint: spherical head of one bone fits into the cup-like socket of another; multiaxial (flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, circumduction, rotation) (e.g., shoulder joint).
