Study Notes
Types of Joints
- Fibrous joints are held together by fibrous connective tissue.
- Synarthrodial joints allow for no or very limited movement.
Functional Classification of Joints
- Synarthrodial joints have no movement between the bones.
- Amphiarthrodial joints allow for slight to considerable movement.
- Diarthrodial joints allow for tri-axial movement in all three planes and axes.
Structures Associated with Joints
- Intra-articular discs function as shock absorbers.
- Bursa functions as a cushion to reduce friction.
- Tendon sheaths reduce friction around tendons.
Ligaments
- Capsular ligaments are considered part of the joint capsule.
- Extracapsular ligaments are found outside of the joint capsule.
- Intra-articular ligaments are found within the joint cavity.
Study of Joints
- The study of joints is called arthrology.
