Joints and movements
This document discusses the classification and types of joints in the human body. It describes three main types of joints: non-movable joints which allow no movement; slightly movable joints which allow some movement; and freely movable or synovial joints which allow a large range of movement. Synovial joints are further classified based on their shape and movement capabilities. The document also outlines the three basic types of movement that can occur at synovial joints: gliding, angular movement, and rotation.

Joints and movements
- 1. Joints & Movements DrRishi Pokhrel Maj Assistant Professor NAIHS
- 2. Joint • Link between2 or more bones or cartilages • Supported and made stable by ligaments • Movement along joint is produced by muscles
- 3. Classification of joints •Non-movable joints - Synarthroses • Slightly movable joints - Amphiarthroses • Freely movable joints – (synovial joints) Diarthroses
- 4. Classification of joints Non-movablejoints • No movement is allowed between bones • Designed to allow growth of body e.g. sutures allow growth of brain • Types are – Sutures – Gomphosis – Syndesmosis
- 6. • Sutures: presentbetween skull bones e.g. sagittal suture b/w 2 parietal bones, coronal sutures b/w frontal & parietal bones etc. • Gomphosis: joints b/w jaw bones (Mandible & maxilla) and teeth. Periodontal ligaments hold these joints together. • Syndesmosis: joints formed by fibrous band that hold 2 or more bones together. Interosseous membrane between radius and ulna or between tibia and fibula are syndesmosis.
- 7. Slightly movable joints •Some degree of movements between bones. • Example: – Primary cartilaginous jt – secondary cartilaginous joints • symphysis pubis between 2 pubis bones, • intervertebral discs between adjacent vertebrae • manubriosternal joints.
- 8. Freely movable joints/ Synovial joints • Allow large range of movements • Articular surfaces covered by hyaline cartilage. • Presence of joint cavity, synovial fluid, synovial membrane and joint capsule are features of these joints.
- 10. Classification of synovialjoints Ball & socket joints • most mobile among all joints • Sphere in one bone fits into cavity of another bone. • E.g. hip joint, shoulder joint • Movements
- 11. • Hinge joint:movement across these joints is in one axis, like hinge movement of door or window. E. g. elbow joint, knee joint etc.
- 12. Condylar joint • ovalshaped condyle fits into socket of another bone allowing movement in 1 axis with some rotational movement in another axis. • E.g. temporomandibular
- 13. • Plane joints:articular surfaces are flat and only minimal gliding movement is possible. E.g. inter-carpel and inter-tarsal joints.
- 14. • Pivot joints:one bone is fixed and the other rotates around the fixed bone e.g. proximal & distal radioulnar joints.
- 15. Ellipsoid joints • ovalconvex male surface fits into reciprocal concave female surface of adjoining bone • Allows movements in 2 axes e.g. flexion- extension & adduction-abduction. • E.g. wrist joint, metacarpo-phalangeal joints, atlanto-occipital joint etc.
- 16. Saddle joints • Botharticular surfaces are reciprocally concavo-convex • e.g. 1st metacarpo-phalangeal joint, sterno- clavicular joint etc.
- 17. MOVEMENTS ALLOWED BYSYNOVIAL JOINTS • Three basic types of movement – Gliding – One bone across the surface of another – Angular movement – Movements change the angle between bones – Rotation – Movement around a bone's long axis 17
- 18. GLIDING • Flat surfacesof two bones glide across each other • Gliding occurs between – Carpals – Articular processes of vertebrae – Tarsals SK DEPT OF ANATOMY AFMC 18
- 19. ANGULAR MOVEMENT • Flexion •Extension • Dorsiflexion & Plantar-flexion • Abduction • Adduction • Circumduction SK DEPT OF ANATOMY AFMC 19
- 20.
- 21. ROTATION • Turning ofa bone around its own long axis • Examples: – Between C-1 & C-2 vertebrae – Hip & shoulder joints 21
