Study Notes
Joints
- Joints consist of a minimum of two bones.
- They allow movement.
- Joints are divided into two main groups: Synarthrosis and Diarthrosis.
Synarthrosis
-
Fibrous:
- Sutura: between skull bones.
- Schindylesis: between the sphenoid and vomer bones.
- Syndesmosis: distal tibiofibular joint.
- Gomphosis: between tooth roots and jawbone.
-
Cartilaginous:
- Synchondrosis.
- Symphysis (e.g., pubic symphysis).
Diarthrosis (Synovial)
- Movements in the transverse axis involve flexion and extension.
- Movements in the vertical axis involve medial and lateral rotation.
- Movements in the sagittal axis involve abduction and adduction.
- Ginglymus (hinge type): Allows only flexion and extension (e.g., interphalangeal joints).
- Bichondylaris: Only allows flexion and extension (e.g., knee joint).
- Spheroidea: Ball and socket joint, allowing all axes of movement (e.g., shoulder and hip joints).
- Plana: Flat articular faces, allowing only gliding movement (e.g., joints between certain wrist bones).
Sternoclavicular Joint
- Located between the sternal end of the clavicle, manubrium, and the first costal cartilage.
- Features a sternal articular surface and a clavicular notch on the sternum.
- A plane or saddle-type joint.
- The articular surfaces fit together with a cartilaginous disc.
- Allows movement in multiple planes: up and down, forward and backward, and some rotation.
Acromioclavicular Joint
- Located between the acromion process of the scapula and the lateral end of the clavicle.
- A plane-type joint.
- Allows gliding movements.
- Clavicle glides on the acromion.
- Scapula rotates on this joint.
Shoulder Joint (Glenohumeral)
- A spheroid (ball and socket) type joint.
- Formed by the head of the humerus and the glenoid fossa of the scapula.
Elbow Joint
- Composed of three joints: humeroulnar, humeroradial, and proximal radioulnar.
- Hinge type joint.
- Allows flexion and extension.
Proximal Radioulnar
- Between the radius and radial notch of the ulna.
- Allows supination and pronation.
Distal Radioulnar
- Between the distal ends of the radius and ulna.
- Can be a trochoide type joint with a disc.
Wrist and Hand Joints
- Numerous joints in the hand, including radiocarpal, carpal, intercarpal, and others.
- Radiocarpal: between distal radius and proximal row of carpal bones. Allows movement in multiple planes.
- Ellipsoid-type joints.
- Carpal Joints: between individual carpal bones. Allow limited gliding movement.
Movements of Radiocarpal Joint
- Flexion
- Extension
- Abduction
- Adduction
Muscles
- Muscles are categorized by structure (smooth, striated, heart).
- Muscles are also categorized by function (abductor, adductor, flexor, extensor).
- Mastication muscles: temporalis, masseter, medial and lateral pterygoids.
- Upper limb muscles: trapezius, latissimus dorsi, pectoralis major, deltoid, biceps brachii, triceps brachii.
Additional Information
- The diaphragm is a parachute-shaped muscle.
