Study Notes
- Fibrous joints connect two bones via dense connective tissue.
Types of Fibrous Joints
-
Suture: Connects skull bones (fibrous connective tissue).
-
Gomphosis: Holds teeth in alveoli/sockets (periodontal ligaments).
-
Syndesmosis: Anchors radius and ulna (interosseous membrane in the antebrachium) OR tibia and fibula (distal leg).
-
Two fibrous joints are synarthroses, and one is an amphiarthrosis.
-
Cartilaginous joints unite two bones using cartilage.
-
They do not have a joint capsule.
-
They allow for limited or no movement, with compression being a common type of movement.
Types of Cartilaginous Joints
-
Symphyses: Pads of fibrocartilage between bones (e.g., pubic symphysis, intervertebral disc).
-
Synchondroses: Hyaline cartilage unites bones (e.g., growth plate/epiphyseal disk, costochondral joints between ribs and costal cartilage).
-
Symphysis joints are a type of cartilaginous joint.
-
Synovial joints have articular cartilage covering bone ends and a joint capsule creating/isolating the joint cavity.
-
The joint capsule has a synovial membrane internally and is reinforced externally by fibrous connective tissue.
-
These joints are freely moveable and classified as diarthroses.
-
Synovial joints consist of bone, periosteum, articular capsule, articular cartilage, and synovial membrane.
