Study Notes
Faculty of Dentistry Vision
- The Faculty of Dentistry aspires to be recognized regionally and internationally as a leading educational institution.
- The Faculty aims to achieve this through the offering of advanced educational programs, innovative applied research, and sustainable community development.
General Anatomy GDN131
- Types of synovial joints:
- Plane joint
- Hinge joint
- Pivot joint
- Condylar joint
- Saddle joint
- Ball and socket joint
Shape of Articulating Bones
- Hinge joint: The articulating surfaces resemble the hinge of a door. An example is the wrist joint.
- Saddle joint: The articulating surfaces are reciprocally concavo-convex. Example: Carpometacarpal joint of the thumb.
- Shape and movement of the joint depend on:
- Shape of the articulating bones.
- Muscles surrounding the joint.
- Strength of the ligaments.
Nerve Supply of the Joints
- Joints are innervated by the nerves that supply the surrounding muscles.
- Nerve supply provides proprioception, which is the sense of joint position and movement.
