Study Notes
- Three categories of joints exist based on their structure and connective tissue.
- Fibrous joints are one category where bones are connected by collagen fibers.
- Fibrous joints lack a joint capsule.
1. Sutures
- Sutures are a type of fibrous joint found in the skull.
2. Gomphoses
- Gomphoses are specialized fibrous joints.
- Gomphoses are exemplified by the connection of teeth in their sockets within the gums.
3. Syndesmoses
- Syndesmoses are another type of fibrous joint.
- Syndesmoses feature bones connected by ligaments.
- The ligaments connecting bones via syndesmosis act like straps holding them together.
- Cartilaginous joints are a category where bones are connected by cartilage.
- Cartilaginous joints lack a joint capsule.
1. Synchondroses
- Synchondroses are a type of cartilaginous joint.
- Synchondroses are made of hyaline cartilage.
2. Symphyses
- Symphyses are a type of cartilaginous joint.
- Symphyses are made of fibrocartilage.
- Synovial joints have a joint capsule.
- An articular capsule, articular cartilage, joint cavity, and synovial fluid are components of Synovial joints.
- The articular capsule has a fibrous layer and a synovial membrane.
- Synovial joint types include:
- Plane
- Hinge
- Pivot
- Condylar
- Saddle
- Ball & Socket
- Plane joints allow gliding movements such as those in intercarpal joints.
- Hinge joints allow flexion & extension movements such as those in the elbow and interphalangeal joints.
- Pivot joints allow rotation movements such as those in the atlantoaxial and proximal radioulnar joints.
- Condylar joints allow Flexion, Extension, Adduction, and Abduction such as those in MCPs and the wrist.
- Saddle joints allow thumb movement like a rider in a saddle, such as the thumb carpometacarpal joint.
- Ball & Socket joints allow free movement in the body, such as the hip and shoulder.
