Study Notes

Fibrous Joints

Fibrous joints connect bones with fibrous tissue
They lack a joint cavity
Three types: sutures, syndesmoses, and gomphoses

Sutures

Connect skull bones
Continuous fibrous tissue
Usually ossify and fuse with age
Example: coronal suture

Syndesmoses

Connect long bones (e.g., tibia-fibula)
Movement depends on fiber length
Connected by ligaments
Example: interosseous membrane (radius-ulna)

Gomphoses

Peg-in-socket structure connecting teeth in alveolar sockets
Example: Periodontal ligament

Cartilaginous Joints

Connect bones with cartilage
Lack a joint cavity
Two types: primary and secondary cartilaginous joints

Primary Cartilaginous Joints

Unite bones with hyaline cartilage
Immovable
Ossify with age
Example: epiphyseal plates, manubrium of the sternum

Secondary Cartilaginous Joints

Resilient shock absorbers using fibrocartilage on hyaline cartilage
Provide strength and flexibility
Slightly movable
Example: intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis

Synovial Joints

Most common type of joint in the human body
All are diarthroses (freely movable)
Contain a synovial fluid-filled joint cavity
Articular Cartilage: covers ends of bones, spongy cushions that absorb pressure
Joint Cavity: potential space between bones, contains synovial fluid which lubricates and nourishes cartilage
Articular Capsule: dense fibrous capsule and synovial membrane, produces synovial fluid, protects inner joint from wear
Synovial Fluid: filtrate of blood, contains glycoproteins
Reinforcing Ligaments: stabilize joints
Nerves: detect pain, monitor stretch
Blood Vessels: nourish cartilage, rich blood supply enters synovial fluid

Types of Synovial Joints Based on Shapes

Plane Joints: allow simple gliding movements (e.g., wrist and ankle bones)
Hinge Joints: movement in one direction (e.g., elbow and knee)
Pivot Joints: rotational movement (e.g., proximal radioulnar joint, atlantoaxial joint)
Condyloid Joints: biaxial movement (e.g., metacarpophalangeal joints, wrist joint)
Saddle Joints: biaxial movement (e.g., carpometacarpal joint of the thumb)
Ball-and-Socket Joints: multiaxial (e.g., hip and shoulder joints)

Injuries

Sprains: injury to ligaments
Dislocation: bones forced out of alignment
Torn Cartilage: damage to cartilage
Inflammatory and Degenerative Conditions: bursitis (inflammation of bursa sacs), tendinitis (inflammation of tendons), arthritis (inflammation of joints)

Different Muscle Types

Skeletal Muscle: attached to bones, helps in voluntary movements (e.g., walking, running, lifting)
Cardiac Muscle: found only in the heart, contracts involuntarily to pump blood
Smooth Muscle: found in organs like stomach, intestines, and blood vessels, helps in digestion and regulating blood flow
