Study Notes
Types of Joints
- Synchondroses: Characterized by limited movement, joined by hyaline cartilage.
- Symphyses: Feature a fibrocartilage disc, allowing small, controlled movement.
- Synovial Joints: Have a synovial cavity, providing a large range of motion.
- Hinge Joints: Convex surface fits into a concave surface, allowing movement in one plane.
- Pivot Joints: Bony pivot within an osteoligamentous ring, allowing uniaxial movement.
- Ellipsoidal Joints: Oval-shaped projection fits into an oval depression, facilitating flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and circumduction.
- Ball-and-Socket Joints: Hemispherical head fits into a cup-like depression, permitting the most flexible movements, including rotation.
- Fibrous Joints: Two bones connected by fibrous tissue, providing stability.
- Planar Joints: Characterized by only two articulating surfaces.
- Complex Joints: Comprise three or more articulating surfaces.
- Sutures: Found between skull bones, characterized by little or no movement, joined by hyaline cartilage.
- Synovial Capsule: Encloses the synovial cavity, uniting the articulating bones.
Joint Movement
- Uniaxial Movements: Limited to one plane (e.g., flexion and extension).
- Multiaxial Movements: Include flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and circumduction in joints like ellipsoidal and ball-and-socket joints.
- Glenoid Labrum: In some synovial joints, acts as a pad of fibrocartilage between bone surfaces.
- Ligaments: Help stabilize joints, with some lying outside the articular capsule.
Specific Joint Examples
-
Ankle Joint:
- Provides lateral stability: Involves ligaments forming part of the lateral ligament complex.
- Dorsiflexion Range: Defined movement achieved at the joint.
-
Foot and Ankle Movements:
- Inversion/Eversion: Achieved through subtalar joint.
- Supination and Pronation: Specific movements of the foot at joints.
Muscles Related to Joint Function
-
Muscles Assisting in Movements:
- Plantarflexion: Multiple muscles responsible for ankle joint movement and knee flexion.
- Dorsiflexion: Muscle responsible for lifting the foot and supporting inversion.
- Toe Flexors: Involved in flexing interphalangeal joints of the toes and assisting in joint movements.
- Steadying Muscles: Essential for stability and control during movement.
Additional Joint Features
- Bursae: Sac-like structures that alleviate friction between joints, located in areas like the shoulder and knee.
- Articular Cartilage: Covers bone ends in synovial joints, reducing friction through lubrication.
