Study Notes
Axial Skeleton Joints
-
Skull Joints:
- Sutures (sutural joints)
- Temporohyoid joint (articulatio temporohyoidea)
- Intermandibular joint (articulatio intermandibularis)
- Temporomandibular joint (articulatio temporomandibularis)
Temporomandibular Joint
- Composition: A composite joint, involving more than two surfaces.
- Shape: Condylar joint.
- Movement: Up and down (opening and closing the mouth), limited side-to-side (lateral grinding), and forward/backward mandible movement.
- Ligaments: One ligament in smaller animals, two in larger animals. Ligamentum caudale and Ligamentum laterale are mentioned.
Vertebral Column, Thorax, and Skull Joints
- Atlantooccipital Joint: (articulatio atlantooccipitalis) Between the skull and the first cervical vertebra.
- Atlantoaxial Joint: (articulatio atlantoaxialis) Between the first and second cervical vertebrae.
- Intervertebral Articulations: (symphysis intervertebralis), articulations between adjacent vertebrae.
- Thoracic Vertebrae and Ribs: (articulationes costovertebrales), articulations between thoracic vertebrae and ribs.
- Sternum and Costal Cartilages: (articulationes sternocostales), articulations between the sternum and costal cartilages.
- Ribs and Costal Cartilages: (articulationes costochondrales), articulations between ribs and costal cartilages.
- Interchondral Articulations: (articulationes intrachondrales), articulations between costal cartilages.
- Sternal Articulations: (synchondroses sternales), articulations between individual sternebrae in the sternum.
Nuchal Ligament
- Components: Funiculus nuchae (connecting occipital protuberance and spinous processes along the vertebral column). Lamina nuchae (connecting spinous processes along the vertebral column to the funiculus nuchae).
- Function: Supports the head's weight, reducing the load on the neck muscles.
Atlanto-occipital and Atlanto-axial Joints (details)
-
Atlanto-occipital Joint (1):
- Form: Ellipsoidal
- Number: Simple (one joint)
- Mobility: Biaxial (movement in two planes)
-
Atlanto-axial Joint (2):
- Form: Pivot
- Number: Simple (one joint)
- Mobility: Uniaxial (movement in one plane)
Cervical and other Intervertebral Joints (more detail)
-
Intervertebral Articulations:
- Cartilaginous joints between vertebral bodies
- Synovial joints between articular processes
Costovertebral Joint
- Explanation: The joint between the ribs and the thoracic vertebrae is implicated in pressure on nerves and spinal cord if damaged.
- Causes of Damage: Aging, obesity, mechanical stress, other health issues.
- Effects of Damage: Rupture or degeneration of discs causes the pulpy nucleus to bulge.
- Typical Location of Problem: Thoracolumbar junction or neck region
Thoracic Limb Joints
-
Shoulder Joint: (articulatio humeri)
- Form: Spheroidal.
- Number: Simple.
- Mobility: Multiaxial (movement in three planes).
-
Elbow Joint: (articulatio cubiti)
- Form: Hinge.
- Number: Composite (two joints).
- Mobility: Uniaxial (movement in one plane).
Radioulnar Articulation:
- Description: A pivot joint.
- Structure: Proximal and distal radioulnar articulations.
- Type: Pivot (dogs).
- Number: Simple.
- Mobility: Uniaxial (in one plane).
Carpal Joint
- Description: Multiple joints combining to make the carpal joint.
- Type: Hinge.
- Number: Composite
- Mobility: Uniaxial.
Phalangeal Joints
- Description: Three articulations within each digit.
- Type: Hinge (metacarpophalangeal), saddle (proximal and distal interphalangeal).
- Number: Composite (metacarpophalangeal and distal interphalangeal), simple (proximal interphalangeal).
- Mobility: Uniaxial.
Hind Limb Joints
-
Sacroiliac Joint:
- Form: Plane.
- Number: Simple.
- Mobility: Tight (limited movement).
-
Hip Joint: (articulatio coxae)
- Form: Spheroidal.
- Number: Simple (two joints – coxocapital and coxotrochanteric).
- Mobility: Multiaxial.
-
Stifle Joint: (articulatio genus)
- Form: Hinge (overall), sledge (femoropatellar), condylar (femorotibial).
- Number: Composite.
- Mobility: Uniaxial.
-
Tarsal Joint: (articulatio tarsi)
- Form: Hinge.
- Number: Composite.
- Mobility: Uniaxial.
Bird Joints
- Shoulder Joint: (articulatio omalis) Different from mammals, the humerus articulates with the scapula and coracoid.
- Hip Joint: (articulatio coxae) Composed of coxocapital and coxotrochanteric articulations.
