and movement
www.opep.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Joints-Movement-Powerpoint.ppt
Lets put the bones into the four categories
Long Bones Short Bones Flat Bones Irregular
Bones
Femur Tarsals Patella Atlas
Humerus Carpals Cranium Axis
Tibia Pelvis (Llium) Cervical
Radius Scapula Thoracic
Ulna Sternum Lumbar
Fibula Ribs Sacrum
Phalanges Coccyx
Meta Tarsals
Meta Carpals
Clavicle
Aims of the Lesson
• Within this lesson you will develop your
knowledge and understanding of:
– The three classifications of joints
– The six types of synovial joints
– The types of body movements
Types of Joints
• Immovable or fixed joints (Fibrous)
• These joints are held together by tough
tissue which develops during childhood.
• Examples include: the Cranium, pelvis and
vertebrae
• Slightly moveable joints
(Cartilaginous)
• Here, movement is needed but only to a
certain point e.g the vertebral column
• Individual vertebrae are separated by
cartilage
• Freely moveable joints (Synovial)
• These joints are also called synovial and
allow movement to take place.
• There are 6 types of freely moveable or
synovial joints
Types of Synovial Joints
• Freely Moveable (Synovial) joints can
be divided into six groups depending
upon the way they move.
Key:
•Ball and Socket
Joint
•Hinge Joint
•Pivot Joint
•Gliding Joint
•Saddle Joint
•Condyloid Joint
Ball and Socket
Joints
• Of all the joints in the body,
the BALL AND SOCKET
JOINT allows the greatest
range of movement
• In this type of joint, one end
of the bone is shaped like a
ball, and it fits into a hollow
socket at the end of
another joint.
• Held together by ligaments
and tendons
Two main Ball and Socket Joints:
Shoulder and hip joints
Ball and socket
Ball and Socket joint
Hinge Joints
• HINGE JOINTS allow extensive
flexion and extension (Bending
and straightening) with only a
small amount of rotation.
• The joint is made by the joining of
two bone ends which have smooth
surfaces. They are shaped to
move against each other with
minimum friction.
• Strong ligaments stop the bones
from sliding off from one side to
the other.
Examples of Hinge Joints:
Elbow and Knee Joints
Pivot Joint
• PIVOT JOINTS allow only
rotation.
• The joint works by the end of one
bone having a “peg” which fits
into a “ring” formed by the other
bone.
• There is pivot joint at the top of
the spinal column, between the
axis and atlas bones of the neck.
This allows us to turn, raise and
lower our heads – this is crucial
in controlling balance and
maintaining awareness.
Gliding Joints
• GLIDING JOINTS allow
flexion and extension
through a slight gliding
motion between the ends of
small bones such as hands
and feet.
• These small bones can
move over one another to
increase the flexibility of the
hands and feet.
• Strong ligaments link them
together and stop them
moving to far.
Saddle Joints
• SADDLE JOINTS occur
where concave and
convex surfaces meet.
• The saddle joints allow
the movement of the
joint forward and
backwards, and right to
left.
• Examples of saddle
joints include the fingers
and thumbs.
Condyloid Joints
• Within the CONDYLOID
JOINT the full convex
shape of one bone end,
fits into the full concave
shape of an adjoining
bone.
• This allows for movement
in all directions, however
full rotations.
• The main example of the
Condyloid joint is the wrist.
Why are they called Synovial
Joints?
They all have some thing called
Synovial Fluid in them.
• This lubricates the joint, like oil in a
working engine. It enables all parts of
the joint to move against each other
smoothly.
• This is inside the synovial (joint)
capsule which holds the fluid in
place.
• The synovial membrane lies inside
the capsule where the fluid is
produced.
Connective Tissues
• There are three types of connective tissues used
within the joints.
• Cartilage
– Cartilage forms a cushion between bones in order to
stop them rubbing
• Ligaments
– Ligaments are like very strong string that holds bones
together
• Tendons
– Tendons attach muscles to bones (or to other
muscles)
Cartilage Tendons Ligaments
Tough Attaches bone to
muscle
Attaches bone to
bone
Flexible Sturdy Elastic
At end of
bone
Non elastic Stabilise
Cushions Size changes
depending on
muscle
Made of many
fibres
Anchor Strong
Types of Joint Movement
• There are six different kinds of movement the
joints can allow
• These are:
– Extension
– Flexion
– Abduction
– Adduction
– Circumduction
– Rotation
Extension:
straightening or
extending a limb.
(Opening a Joint)
Flexion: Bending
or flexing a limb.
(Closing a joint)
Abduction: Moving
a limb away from
the centre line of
the body.
Rotation: This is a
turning or rotational
movement of a
limb or body part.
Circumduction:
The ability of a
limb to be moved
in circles.
Adduction:
moving a limb
towards the centre
line of the body
Plantarflexion (or plantar flexion)
Is the movement which increases
the approximate 90 degree angle
between the front part of the foot
and the shin, as when pressing
down on a car pedal
Dorsiflexion is the movement which
decreases the angle between the dorsum
(superior surface) of the foot and the leg, so
that the toes are brought closer to the shin.
The movement moving in opposite directions
is called plantarflexion. Put more simply: it
applies to the upward movement of the foot
at the ankle joint
Pronation – A rotation of the forearm
that moves the palm from an
anterior-facing position to a
posterior-facing position, or palm
facing down. This is not medial
rotation as this must be performed
when the arm is half flexed
Supination – The opposite of pronation,
the rotation of the forearm so that the palm
faces anteriorly, or palm facing up. The
hand is supine (facing anteriorly) in the
anatomical position
Hyperextension - Movement at a joint to a
position beyond the joint's normal
maximum extension
The knee (HINGE JOINT) is used when flexing (bending)
and extending (straightening) the leg to kick a football
