    Study Notes

    Introduction to Joints

    • Joints, also known as articulations, are locations where two bones meet.
    • Body movement occurs at these locations.
    • There is a tradeoff between strength and mobility in joints.

    Classification of Joints

    • Joints can be classified based on structure or function.
    • Structural classification refers to the anatomical components of the joint.
    • Functional classification refers to the range of motion at the joint.
    • Joint structure dictates its function.

    Structural Classification

    • Fibrous: Bones are connected by dense connective tissue.
    • Cartilaginous: Bones are connected by cartilage.
    • Bony: Bones join together, becoming a single bone.
    • Synovial: Bones are separated by a joint cavity filled with synovial fluid.

    Functional Classification

    • Synarthrosis: Immovable joint.
    • Amphiarthrosis: Slightly movable joint.
    • Diarthrosis: Freely movable joint.

    Synarthrosis (Immovable Joint)

    • Strongest type of joint.
    • Bones may touch or interlock.
    • Can be fibrous or cartilaginous.
    • Four types of synarthrotic joints:
      • Suture: Found only between skull bones.
        • Bone edges interlock.
        • Bound by dense fibrous connective tissue.
      • Gomphosis: Binds teeth to bony sockets.
        • Fibrous connection called the periodontal ligament.
      • Synchondrosis: Rigid cartilaginous bridge between two bones.
        • Found between vertebrosternal ribs and sternum.
        • Also found in the epiphyseal cartilage of growing long bones.
      • Synostosis: Created when two bones fuse.
        • Example: the metopic suture of the frontal bone and the epiphyseal lines of mature long bones.

    Joints

    • Joints are places where two bones meet and allow body movement.
    • There's a balance between joint strength and mobility.

    Joint Classifications

    • Joints can be classified by structure (anatomy) and function (range of motion).
    • Structure dictates function.

    Structural Classifications

    • Joints are categorized as fibrous, cartilaginous, bony, or synovial.

    Functional Classifications

    • Synarthrosis: Immovable joint.
    • Amphiarthrosis: Slightly movable joint.
    • Diarthrosis: Freely movable joint.

    Synarthrosis (Immovable Joint)

    • Strong and may have edges of bones touching or interlocking.
    • Can be fibrous or cartilaginous.
    • Four types: suture, gomphosis, synchondrosis, and synostosis.

    Suture

    • Found only in the skull.
    • Edges of bones interlock and are bound by dense fibrous connective tissue.

    Gomphosis

    • Connects teeth to bony sockets.
    • Uses a fibrous connection called the periodontal ligament.

    Synchondrosis

    • Contains a rigid cartilaginous bridge between two bones.
    • Found between vertebrosternal ribs and sternum, and in the epiphyseal cartilage of growing long bones.

    Synostosis

    • Occurs when two bones fuse.
    • Example: metopic suture of the frontal bone, and epiphyseal lines of mature long bones.

    Introduction to Joints

    • Joints are the meeting points of two bones, where body movement occurs.
    • There's a compromise between strength and mobility in joints.

    Joint Classifications

    • Joints are classified based on structure (anatomy) and function (range of motion).
    • Joint structure determines how it functions.

    Structural Classifications

    • Joints are structurally classified into four categories: fibrous, cartilaginous, bony, and synovial.

    Functional Classifications

    • Joints are functionally classified into three categories: synarthrosis (immovable joint), amphiarthrosis (slightly movable joint), and diarthrosis (freely movable joint).

    Synarthrosis (Immovable Joint)

    • Synarthroses are very strong joints.
    • The edges of bones may touch or interlock.
    • They can be fibrous or cartilaginous.
    • There are four types of synarthrotic joints: suture, gomphosis, synchondrosis, and synostosis.

    Synarthrosis: Specific Types

    • Suture: found only between skull bones, edges interlock, bound by dense fibrous tissue.
    • Gomphosis: connects teeth to bony sockets, fibrous connection is called periodontal ligament.
    • Synchondrosis: rigid cartilage bridge between bones, found between vertebrosternal ribs and sternum, also in growing long bones' epiphyseal cartilage.
    • Synostosis: formed when two bones fuse together, example: metopic suture of frontal bone and mature long bones' epiphyseal lines.

    Joints

    • Joints, also known as articulations, are where two bones meet.
    • Joints are critical for movement within the body.
    • There's a balance between a joint's strength and range of motion.

    Classifications of Joints

    • Joints are classified using two schemes: structural (anatomy) and functional (range of motion).
    • Joint structure directly influences its function.

    Structural Classifications

    • Structural classifications include fibrous, cartilaginous, bony, and synovial joints.

    Functional Classifications

    • Functional classifications include Synarthrosis (immovable), Amphiarthrosis (slightly movable), and Diarthrosis (freely movable) joints.

    Synarthrosis (Immovable Joint)

    • Strong joints where bone edges may touch or interlock.
    • Can be fibrous or cartilaginous.
    • Types of Synarthrosis:
      • Suture: Found in the skull, bones interlock, bound by connective tissue.
      • Gomphosis: Binds teeth to sockets, fibrous connection (periodontal ligament).
      • Synchondrosis: Rigid cartilage bridge between bones, found in vertebrosternal ribs and sternum, also in epiphyseal cartilage of growing long bones.
      • Synostosis: Fused bones, example: metopic suture of frontal bone, epiphyseal lines of mature long bones.

    Joints

    • Joints are where two bones meet.
    • Movement in the body occurs at joints.
    • There is a balance between joint strength and mobility.

    Classifications

    • Joints are classified by their structure (anatomy) and function (range of motion).
    • Structure determines function.

    Structural Classifications

    • Four structural classifications: fibrous, cartilaginous, bony, synovial.

    Functional Classifications

    • Three functional classifications: Synarthrosis (immovable joint), Amphiarthrosis (slightly movable joint), Diarthrosis (freely movable joint).

    Synarthrosis (Immovable Joints)

    • Synarthroses are very strong.
    • Bone edges may touch or interlock.
    • They are either fibrous or cartilaginous.
    • There are four types of synarthrotic joints: suture, gomphosis, synchondrosis, and synostosis.

    Suture

    • Sutures are found only in the skull.
    • Bone edges interlock.
    • They are bound by dense fibrous connective tissue.

    Gomphosis

    • Gomphosis binds teeth to bony sockets.
    • The fibrous connection is called the periodontal ligament.

    Synchondrosis

    • Synchondroses are rigid cartilaginous bridges between two bones.
    • They are found between the vertebrosternal ribs and sternum, and the epiphyseal cartilage of growing long bones.

    Synostosis

    • Synostosis is created when two bones fuse.
    • Examples include the metopic suture of the frontal bone and the epiphyseal lines of mature long bones.

    Joints

    • Joints are also referred to as articulations.
    • Joints are where two bones meet and body movement occurs.
    • There is a tradeoff between joint strength and mobility.

    Joint Classification

    • There are two classification schemes for joints: structural and functional.
    • The structure of a joint determines its function.

    Structural Classification

    • Fibrous, cartilaginous, bony, and synovial are all types of structural classification of joints.

    Functional Classification

    • Synarthrosis, amphiarthrosis, and diarthrosis are all types of functional classification of joints.

    Synarthrosis

    • Synarthrosis are immovable joints.
    • Synarthrosis joints are very strong.
    • The edges of the bones in a synarthrosis may touch or interlock.
    • Can be fibrous or cartilaginous.
    • Four types of synarthrosis joints are: sutures, gomphoses, synchondroses, and synostoses.

    Sutures

    • Only found between bones of the skull.
    • Edges of the bones interlock.
    • Bound by dense fibrous connective tissue.

    Gomphoses

    • Binds teeth to bony sockets.
    • The fibrous connection is called the periodontal ligament.

    Synchondroses

    • A rigid cartilaginous bridge between two bones.
    • Found between vertebrosternal ribs and sternum.
    • Also found in the epiphyseal cartilage of growing long bones.

    Synostoses

    • Created when two bones fuse.
    • Example: metopic suture of the frontal bone and epiphyseal lines of mature long bones.
