Study Notes

Support & Movement

  • Body movement occurs at joints where two bones connect
  • Joint structure determines the direction and range of movement
  • Joint strength decreases as mobility increases

Articulations

  • Classifications of joints are based on function and structure
  • Functional classification categorizes joints based on their degree of movement (no movement, little movement, or more movement)
  • Structural classification categorizes joints based on the material connecting the bones (bony, fibrous, cartilaginous, or synovial)

Synarthrosis

  • Immovable joints
  • Edges of bones may touch or interlock
  • Four types

Suture

  • Fibrous connection
  • Bones interlocked
  • Found only in the skull

Gomphosis

  • Fibrous connection, specifically periodontal ligaments
  • Binds teeth to their sockets

Synchondrosis

  • Rigid cartilaginous bridge between bones
  • Includes epiphyseal cartilage of growing long bones
  • Also found between ribs and sternum

Synostosis

  • Bones fused together
  • Includes the metopic suture of the frontal bone in the adult skull
  • Also includes epiphyseal lines in non-growing long bones

Amphiarthrosis

  • Slightly movable joints
  • Two types

Syndesmosis

  • e.g., superior and inferior tibiofibular joints

Symphysis

  • e.g., intervertebral discs, symphysis pubis

Diarthroses (Synovial)

  • Freely movable joints
  • Located at the ends of long bones
  • Components include: Joint capsule, Synovial membrane, Articular cartilage, Joint cavity containing synovial fluid

Articular Cartilages

  • Cushion articulating surfaces, preventing bone-on-bone contact
  • Smooth surfaces lubricated by synovial fluid
  • Contains hyaluronan and slippery proteoglycans
  • Functions include lubrication, nutrient distribution, and shock absorption

Synovial Joints: Accessory Structures

  • Cartilages (menisci) cushion the joint
  • Fat pads are located superficially to the joint capsule
  • Ligaments support and strengthen joints
  • Tendons attach muscles to joints
  • Bursae are synovial fluid-filled pockets cushioning areas where tendons and ligaments rub

Dynamic Movements of the Skeleton

  • Types include linear motion, angular motion, circumduction, and rotation
  • Terms of movements describe the plane or direction of movement and the relationship between structures

Flexion & Extension

  • Flexion refers to bending a joint, while extension straightens it
  • Hyperextension is extending a joint beyond its normal range
  • Lateral flexion involves bending the vertebral column to the side

Dorsiflexion & Plantar Flexion

  • Dorsiflexion brings the foot upwards towards the shin
  • Plantar flexion brings the foot downwards

Adduction & Abduction

  • Adduction moves a limb toward the midline of the body
  • Abduction moves a limb away from the midline of the body

Circumduction

  • Circular movement of a limb

Rotation

  • Movement around an axis Types include medial (internal) and lateral (external) rotation

Inversion & Eversion

  • Inversion turns the sole of the foot inward
  • Eversion turns the sole of the foot outward

Mandibular Movements

  • Depression lowers the mandible
  • Elevation raises the mandible
  • Retraction moves the mandible backward
  • Protraction moves the mandible forward

Opposition

  • Thumb movement toward other fingers or palm

Classification of Synovial Joints

  • Plane (Non-axial)
  • Mononaxial
  • Biaxial
  • Multiaxial

Classification of Synovial Joints (Shape)

  • Plane joints (Gliding)
  • Hinge joints
  • Pivot joints
  • Ellipsoidal joints
  • Saddle joints
  • Ball-and-socket joints

Non-axial: Gliding Joints

  • Flattened or slightly curved faces

Biaxial: Ellipsoidal (Condylar) Joints

  • Oval articular face within a depression
  • Motion in 2 planes

Biaxial: Saddle Joints

  • 2 concave faces, straddled

Multiaxial: Ball-and-Socket Joints

  • Round articular face in a depression

Strength & Mobility

  • A joint cannot be both mobile and strong
  • The greater the mobility, the weaker the joint
  • Mobile joints are supported by muscles and ligaments

  • Diarthrosis monoaxial hinge synovial
  • Complicated joint transferring weight from femur to tibia
  • Multiple articulations

Menisci of the Knee Joint

  • Medial and lateral menisci
  • Fibrocartilage pads
  • Cushion and stabilize joint

Ligaments of the Knee Joint

  • Multiple ligaments stabilizing the knee joint

Common Clinical Problems

  • Joint injuries: Dislocations, subluxations
  • Rheumatism
  • Arthritis (types: rheumatoid, gouty, osteoarthritis)

Factors Affecting Bone Strength

  • Age
  • Physical stress
  • Hormone levels
  • Calcium and phosphorus intake/excretion
  • Genetic and environmental factors

Effect of Aging on Skeletal System

  • Decreased bone mass
  • Weakened bones
  • Increased risk of fractures/dislocations (e.g., hip)
  • Degeneration of articular surfaces

Integration with Other Systems

  • Skeletal system's role in structural support and protection
  • Storage of minerals (calcium, phosphate)
  • Lipid energy reserve in yellow bone marrow
  • Blood cell production in red bone marrow

Effects of Disorders on Skeletal System

  • Disorders in other body systems
  • Can cause bone tumors, osteoporosis, arthritis, demineralization
