Study Notes

Joint Structures and Functions

  • The fibrous capsule is integral to synovial joints, providing protection and stability.
  • Bursae, saclike structures, cushion areas between bones and skin, muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
  • A sprain refers to the stretching or tearing of ligaments, as seen in injuries involving the iliofemoral ligament.

Joint Movements

  • Abduction is represented by panels B and F in anatomical illustrations.
  • Flexion occurs when forming a fist, as fingers curl inward.
  • Circumduction involves complex movements including rotation, adduction, extension, abduction, and flexion at joints such as the hip.

Types of Synovial Joints

  • The radial head and radial notch form a pivot joint, allowing rotational movement.
  • The glenohumeral joint exemplifies a ball-and-socket joint, allowing triaxial motion.
  • Hinge joints allow uniaxial movements, such as flexion and extension, seen in the knee, elbow, and ankle.

Joint Conditions and Diseases

  • Rheumatoid arthritis is the prominent autoimmune condition affecting joints.
  • Gouty arthritis results from sodium urate crystal deposits causing joint pain and inflammation.

Joint Treatments

  • Arthroplasty surgically replaces joints with artificial constructs for enhanced function.

Anatomical Relationships

  • Strength and tension in ligaments affect the range of motion; for instance, in the knee, the posterior cruciate ligament loosens when flexed.
  • The anterior cruciate ligament limits hyperextension of the knee.

Structural Classifications

  • The maxillae bones fuse completely before birth, forming a synostosis.
  • Amphiarthrosis describes the functional classification of intervertebral discs, allowing slight movement.

Non-Synovial Joints

  • Syndesmosis and interosseous membranes are types of non-synovial joints providing stability and support.

Hormonal Influences

  • Relaxin hormone enhances the range of motion primarily in the pubic symphysis during pregnancy.

Anatomy of Motion

  • Opposition is a thumb movement where it comes into contact with fingers, while gliding movements are prevalent in certain joint structures like the tibiofibular ligament.

Movement Characteristics

  • The atlanto-axial joint is classified as a pivot joint, facilitating neck rotation.
