    Study Notes

    Joints and Articulations

    • Joints, also known as articulations, are points of contact between bones, cartilage and bone, or teeth and bone.
    • The study of joints is called arthrology.
    • Joints are classified functionally based on the amount of movement permitted:
      • Diarthrosis: Freely movable.
      • Amphiarthrosis: Slightly movable.
      • Synarthrosis: Little or no movement.
    • Joints are also classified structurally based on the connective tissue that binds them together and/or the presence of a joint cavity:
      • Bony joints (synostosis): Two bones once separate fuse by osseous tissue.
        • Examples: Frontal and mandibular bones in infants, cranial sutures in elderly, and the attachment of the first rib and sternum with old age.
      • Fibrous joints: No joint cavity; bones held together by dense fibrous connective tissue.
        • Sutures: Thin dense fibrous connective tissue unites skull bones.
          • Serrate sutures: Wavy, interlocking edges.
          • Lap (squamous) sutures: Overlapping beveled edges.
          • Plane (butt) sutures: Straight nonoverlapping edges.
        • Syndesmosis: More fibrous connective tissue than a suture, forming an interosseus membrane or ligament.
          • Examples: Distal articulation between tibia and fibula, interosseus membrane between radius and ulna, and interosseus membrane between tibia and fibula.
        • Gomphosis: Specialized syndesmosis where pegs (teeth) fit into sockets (alveoli).
          • Periodontal ligament holds teeth in sockets.
      • Cartilaginous joints: No joint cavity; bones connected by cartilage.
        • Synchondrosis: Hyaline cartilage connects bones.
          • Examples: Epiphyseal plate and first rib to the sternum.
        • Symphysis: Fibrocartilage connects bones.
          • Examples: Pubic symphysis and intervertebral disc.
      • Synovial joints: Space between articulating bones; freely movable; diarthrotic.
        • Synovial cavity: Space between articulating bones.
        • Articular capsule: Two layers:
          • Outer layer (fibrous capsule): Dense irregular connective tissue continuous with fibrous layer of periosteum.
          • Inner layer (synovial membrane): Loose connective tissue with elastic fibers that secretes synovial fluid.
        • Synovial fluid: Lubricates joint, nourishes articular cartilage, and contains phagocytic cells to remove debris.
        • Articular cartilage: Hyaline cartilage covers ends of bone but doesn't bind them together.
        • Bursa: Sacs lined with synovial membrane that reduce friction between body parts.
        • Tendon sheaths: Synovial membrane wrapped around a tendon.

    Types of Synovial Joints

    • Planar: Intercarpal and intertarsal, sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, sternocostal, and vertebrocostal joints.
    • Hinge: Knee, elbow, ankle, and interphalangeal joints.
    • Pivot: Atlanto-axial and radioulnar joints.
    • Condyloid: Wrist and metacarpophalangeal (2-5) joints
    • Saddle: Carpometacarpal in the thumb.
    • Ball and socket: Shoulder and hip joints.

    Types of Movements at Synovial Joints

    • Gliding: Planar joints.
    • Flexion and extension: Bending and straightening.
    • Lateral flexion: Intervertebral joints.
    • Hyperextension: Extension beyond anatomical position.
    • Abduction and adduction: Movement away from and towards the midline, respectively.
    • Circumduction: Circular movement.
    • Rotation: Lateral and medial.
    • Elevation and depression: Lifting and lowering.
    • Protraction and retraction: Moving forward and backward.
    • Inversion and eversion: Moving sole of foot medially and laterally.
    • Dorsiflexion and plantar flexion: Bending foot upward and downward.
    • Supination and pronation: Turning palm upward and downward.
    • Opposition: Touching thumb to other fingers.

    Knee Joint

    • Largest and most complex synovial joint.
    • Ligaments strengthen the joint:
      • Patellar ligament: Continuation of the quadriceps femoris tendon, inserts into tibial tuberosity.
      • Oblique popliteal ligament: Connects lateral condyle of femur to the medial margin of the head of tibia.
      • Tibial collateral (medial collateral) ligament: Broad, flat ligament connecting the medial condyle of femur to the medial condyle of tibia.
      • Fibular collateral (lateral collateral) ligament: Rounded ligament on the lateral surface of the joint, extending from the lateral condyle of the femur to the lateral side of the fibula.
      • Intra-articular ligaments: Ligaments within the joint that prevent displacement of articulating surfaces, known as cruciate ligaments.
        • Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL): Originates anterior to the intercondylar eminence of the tibia and extends posterior and laterally to the medial side of the lateral condyle of the femur. Prevents hyperextension of the knee.
        • Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL): Originates on the posterior intercondylar area of the tibia and extends anteriorly and medially to the medial surface of the medial condyle of the femur.
      • Medial and lateral menisci (fibrocartilage): Wedge-shaped fibrocartilage that attaches to the condyles of the tibia to deepen the condyles for articulation with the femur.
        • Medial meniscus: C-shaped, anchors to the tibial collateral ligament, less mobile, and more frequently ruptured in knee injuries.
        • Lateral meniscus: More circular.

    Arthritis

    • Inflammation of joints.

    • Rheumatoid arthritis: Autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the synovial membrane and can progress to joint fusion.

    • Osteoarthritis: "Wear and tear" arthritis that affects articular cartilage and is more common than rheumatoid.

    • Gouty arthritis: Accumulation of sodium urate in cartilage at joints due to uric acid buildup.

    • Answer the following questions:

      1. Joint b/w the first costal cartilage and sternum is__________ and rest of the rest of the costal cartilages and sternum connection is ____________.
      2. Joint found only in skull is called___________

      4. Bones united by fibrocartilage______________
      5. Synovial fluid rich in______________
