Structural Joint Classifications
-Type of Cartilaginous joint
-Made of fibrous cartilage
-It is in between the pubic bones
Symphysis
What type of Joint is the elbow
Hinge
moving towards the midline
adduction
Immovable joint
synarthrosis
-multidirectional joint
-can perform most movement and rotation
ball-and-socket
-Type of Cartilaginous Joint
-Made of Hyaline Cartilage
-An example is the epiphyseal plate
-It is one of the syn words
Synchondrosis
What type of joint is the shoulder?
Ball-and-socket joint
Flexion of foot on tip-toes
Plantar flexion
Name the three functional classifications
Synarthrosis, Amphiarthrosis, Diarthrosis
formed between two or more bones where bones can only flex/extend
hinge joint
-Have synovial cavity
-Joined by an articular capsule
-Ex: Hip Joint
Synovial Joints
What structures make up the hip joint?
femur head and acetabulum
Turning upward
Supination
diarthrosis
-can perform all movements except rotation
-ex: thumb
saddle joint
-No Synovial Cavity
-Held together by cartilage
-Ex: Sterno Chondril joint
Cartilaginous Joints
What structures make up the TMJ?
Condylar process of mandible and temporal mandibular fossa
increase of an angle
extension
slightly movable joint
amphiarthrosis
-articulating surfaces that are flat/slightly curved
-can perform all movements except rotation
Planar Joints
-No Synovial Cavity
-Joined by Connective Tissue
-Rich in Collagen Fibers
-Ex: Sutures
Fibrous Joints
What type of joint is the Knee
Modified Hinge
Inversion
ossified suture
synostosis
an ovoid articular surface, or condyle that is received into an elliptical cavity. This permits movement in two planes, allowing flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, and circumduction
