    Study Notes

    Body Movements

    • Flexion: Bending two surfaces toward each other
    • Extension: Bending two surfaces away from each other
    • Abduction: Movement away from the midline
    • Adduction: Movement towards the midline
    • Internal Rotation: Turning a part of the body to face inward, towards the midline
    • External Rotation: Turning a part of the body to face outward, away from the midline
    • Circumduction: Circular movement
    • Rotation: Turning on a single axis
    • Supination: Lateral rotation of the forearm, leaving the palm forward and thumb away from the midline
    • Pronation: Medial rotation of the forearm, leaving the palm backward and thumb pointing toward the midline
    • Opposition: Thumb touching the tip of another finger in the same hand
    • Reposition: Returning the thumb to its normal position
    • Inversion: Turning the sole of the foot inward
    • Eversion: Turning the sole of the foot outward
    • Dorsiflexion: Ankle movement bringing the foot toward the shin
    • Plantarflexion: Ankle movement pointing the foot downward
    • Depression: Mandible movement downward
    • Elevation: Mandible movement upward
    • Retraction: Mandible movement backward
    • Protraction: Mandible movement forward

    Joints (Articulations)

    • Two or more bones meet together
    • Functions:
      • Give skeleton mobility
      • Hold skeleton together

    Classification of Joints

    • Structural Classification:
      • Fibrous: Bones joined by fibrous connective tissue
      • Cartilaginous: Bones joined by cartilage
      • Synovial: Bones separated by a fluid-filled cavity
    • Functional Classification:
      • Immovable (Synarthroses): Fibrous joints
      • Slightly movable (Amphiarthroses): Cartilaginous joints
      • Freely movable (Diarthroses): Synovial joints

    Fibrous Joints

    • Bones joined by dense fibrous connective tissue
    • No joint cavity
    • Most are synarthrotic (immovable)
    • Types:
      • Sutures
      • Syndesmoses
      • Gomphoses

    Sutures

    • Between bones of the skull
    • Joined with short connective tissue fibers

    Gomphosis

    • Peg in socket joint
    • Only example: Tooth in bony alveolar socket

    Syndesmosis

    • Bones connected by ligament
    • Immovable or slightly movable
    • Examples:
      • Inferior tibiofibular joint
      • Interosseus membrane: Between tibia/fibula & ulna/radius

    Cartilaginous Joints

    • Bones united by cartilage
    • Bones connected by fibrocartilage or hyaline cartilage
    • No joint cavity
    • Types:
      • Primary: (Synchondroses)
      • Secondary: (Symphyses)

    Primary Cartilaginous (Synchondroses)

    • Bar or plate of hyaline cartilage unites the bones
    • Joints are Synarthroses
    • Examples:
      • Epiphyseal plates in long bones of children
      • Costal cartilage of the first rib and manubrium of the sternum (1ry → 1st sternocostal joint)

    Secondary Cartilaginous (Symphyses)

    • Articular surfaces of bone covered with hyaline cartilage fused to a plate of fibrocartilage
    • Joints are amphiarthrotic
    • Examples
      • Intervertebral joints (discs)
      • Pubic symphysis

    Synovial Joints

    • Special features:
      • Articular hyaline cartilage
      • Joint (synovial cavity)
      • Fibrous capsule
      • Synovial membrane
      • Synovial fluid

    Movements at Synovial Joints

    • Range of Movement:
      • Nonaxial—slipping movements only: Plane Joint
      • Uniaxial—movement in one plane: Hinge Joint and Pivot Joint
      • Biaxial—movement in two planes: Condyloid Joint and Saddle Joint
      • Multiaxial—movement around all three: Ball & Socket Joint

    Classification of Synovial Joints

    • Plane Joint:
      • Nonaxial joints
      • Example: Midcarpal joints
    • Hinge Joint:
      • Uniaxial joints
      • Example: Elbow joint
    • Pivot Joint:
      • Uniaxial joints
      • Example: Radioulnar joint (Superior)**
