Experiment 9: Articulations
Articulations, or joints, are formed when two bones come
together. The joints of the body are crucial in keeping the body
intact and in providing movement. Joints can be classified two
ways: structure or mobility. As mentioned earlier, the three
types of structural classifications are fibrous, cartilaginous and
synovial joints. The three types of mobility based
classifications are synarthroses (immobile), amphiarthroses
(slightly mobile) and diarthroses (mobile). Though both
classifications are useful, we will focus on the structural
classifications. In this exercise we will examine the different
types of articulations.
Materials
Skeleton Model
Procedure
Fibrous Joints
1. Fibrous joints are held together with fibrous tissue and do not
posses a joint cavity. Though there are a few fibrous joints that
are amphiarthrotic, most are synarthrotic. There are two main
types of fibrous joints: sutures and syndesmoses.
2. Sutures are composed of tight fitting bones with little or no
connective tissue and are only found within the skull.
3. In syndesmoses, the bones are joined together by a small
amount of dense fibrous connective tissue. Though there can be
slight movement within the joints, they're typically considered
synarthrotic.
4. Use Table 31 to locate the four prominent sutures between
the cranial bones of the skull on the model skeleton.
5. Locate the articulation between the distal ends of the tibia
and fibula on the model skeleton. Also, look at the articulation
between the radius and ulna. These are both examples of
syndesmoses.
Cartilaginous Joints
6. Bones are connected with either a plate of hyaline cartilage
or a disc of fibrocartilage in cartilaginous joints. These joints,
similar to the fibrous joints, do not have a joint cavity;
although, most of them are amphiarthrotic.
7. There are two types of cartilaginous joints: symphysis and
synchondroses. In symphysis joints, the bones are connected
with disc of fibrocartilage. In synchondroses bones, the bones
are connected with a plate of hyaline cartilage.
Table 31: Skull Suture Locations
Skull Sutures
Location
Coronal Suture
Articulation between the posterior portion of the frontal bone
and anterior portion of the parietal bones.
Lambdoid Suture
Articulation between the anterior portion of the occipital bone
and the posterior portion of the two parietal bones.
Sagittal Suture
Articulation between the two parietal bones.
Squamous Sutures
Articulation between the inferior portion of the parietal bone
and the superior portion of the temporal bone.
8. Locate the pubic symphysis on the model skeleton. As the
name suggests, this joint is a symphysis. Examine the vertebral
column. Each vertebrae is connected via an intervertebral disc
composed of fibrocartilage.
9. Locate the articulation between the first rib and the sternum
on the model skeleton. This is an example of a synchondroses.
Synovial Joints
10. Synovial joints are the most common articulation within the
body. Between the two articulating bones lies a joint cavity
filled with synovial fluid allowing all synovial joints to be
diarthrotic, though the type of mobility (side to side, multiple
directions, etc.) varies.
11. Six subcategories have been created based on the type of
movement because of the many synovial joints within the body.
Use Table 32 to locate examples of the six different
subcategories of synovial joints on the model skeleton. Become
familiar with the movement associated with each example.
12. Using Table 33, perform the listed movements on the model
skeleton. Then perform these same movements on your own
body. Pay attention to the type of synovial joint (gliding, hinge,
etc.) that is involved with each movement.
Table 32: Synovial Joint Information
Subcategory of Synovial Joints
Movement
Examples
Gliding
Flat articulating surfaces allow for sliding movement side-to-
side and back-andforth.
· Intercarpal Joints at the wrist
· Intertarsal Joints in the foot
· Sacroiliac Joints
Hinge
Articulating surfaces between a convex bone and concave bone
allow for uniaxial movement (one plane). Typically this
movement is flexion or extension.
· Elbow Joint
· Knee Joint
· Ankle Joint
Pivot
Uniaxial rotation (one plane) occurs from the conical surface of
one bone articulating with a shallow depression of another
bone.
· Atlantoaxial Joint (atlas and axis)
· Radioulnar Joint
Condyloid (Ellipsoidal)
An oval condyle of one bone fits with an elliptical cavity of
another allowing biaxial movement (two plane).
· Radiocarpal Joint (wrist)
· Metacarpophalangeal Joints
Saddle
Both bones involved in the articulation possess both a concave
and convex suface, called a saddle, that allows for biaxial
movement (two plane).
· Metacarpal of the thumb and the Trapezium of the wrist
Ball and Socket
Ball-like head articulates with a cup-like depression allowing
for multiaxial movement (all directions).
· Shoulder Joint
· Hip Joint
Table 33: Types of Joint Movement
Type of Movement
Definition
Example
Flexion
Bending motion that decreases the angle between the two bones.
In anatomical position, bring the palm of the hand towards the
shoulder, bending the elbow.
Extension
Straightening motion that increases the angle between the two
bones (opposite of flexion).
With the elbow bent and the palm of the hand touching the
shoulder, straighten the arm, bringing the palm down to the
original starting position.
Abduction
Moving a body part away from the midline of the body.
Move the left thigh laterally away from the midline of the body.
Adduction
Moving a body part towards the midline of the body (opposite
of abduction).
With the thigh positioned laterally away from the body, bring it
back towards the midline until it reaches the original starting
position.
Circumduction
Movement combining flexion, extension, abduction and
adduction.
In anatomical position, bend the wrist anatomically to produce
flexion, then move the wrist laterally to produce abduction, then
move the wrist posteriorly to produce extension and then move
your wrist medially to produce adduction. Continue these
motions, increasing the speed to produce a single motion.
Rotation
Movement around the longitudinal axis of the bone.
With the head beginning in anatomical position, look left and
then look right as if shaking your head “no”.
Pronation
Rotating movement of the palm and forearm from an anterior
position to a posterior position.
In anatomical position with the palm facing up, rotate the palm
medially until it is facing down.
Supination
Rotating movement of the palm and forearm from a posterior
position to an anterior position.
With the palm facing down (posterior), rotate the palm laterally
until it is facing up.
Inversion
Moving sole of foot medially.
In anatomical position, move the sole of the foot medially.
Eversion
Moving sole of foot laterally (opposite of inversion).
In anatomical position, move the sole of the laterally.
Dorsiflexion
Bending movement of the ankle where the foot is flexed
upward.
In anatomical position, lift the toes upward as if standing on the
heels.
Plantar flexion
Bending movement of the ankle where the foot is flexed
downward.
In anatomical position, point the toes towards the ground, as if
standing on the toes.

Experiment 11: Skeletal System of the Fetal Pig
In this exercise you will become familiar with the skeletal
system of the fetal pig. Because the fetal pig had not reached its
full gestation, many of the bones have not fully developed, but
are instead still cartilaginous. Still, we can look at this
structures to gain a better understanding of the axial and
appendicular skeletons, along with the joints.
Materials
Fetal Pig
Dissection Tray
Dissection Tools Kit
String (should still be tied onto pig's hooves)
Procedure
1. To begin, lay your underpad down and place your dissecting
tray on top of it. Lay out your dissecting tools. Be sure you
have all of your safety equipment on before beginning the
experiment.
2. Once prepared, gently open the bag your pig is in.
Note: DO NOT destroy this bag or empty out the preserving
solution within the bag, you will need it for the whole semester.
3. Lay your pig into the dissecting tray, dorsal side facing up.
Slide the strings over the dissection tray to hold the pig in
place.
4. Look at Figure 21 displaying the skeletal system of a grown
pig. Notice the similarities and differences between that of your
human skeleton and that of the pig.
Figure 21:The pig skeleton
5. Due to the rigidity of your pig, it typically will not stay in
this position on its own so you will need to hold it while you
examine the skeletal system.
6. Begin by examining, through the skin, the axial skeleton as
shown in Figure 21. Feel the bones of the skull, then continue
down the vertebral column feeling the vertebrae along the way.
Notice that the tail of the pig is composed of caudal vertebrae.
Note your observations in Table 34.
7. Slide the strings off of the dissection tray and gently turn
your pig ventral side up. Slide the strings back under the
dissection tray after the pig is correctly positioned.
8. Feel the thoracic cage of the pig. Though you will not cut
into the pig today, feel the similarities that occur between the
fetal pig and the human skeleton model. Note your observations
in Table 34.
9. Turn your attention to the appendicular skeleton. The pig's
four appendages correlate to the human arms and legs. Use
Figure 21 as a guide to try and feel the different bones of the
arms and legs (humerus, femur, tibia, etc.). Note your
observations in Table 34.
10. In Figure 21, look at the pelvic girdle of the pig. This
structure appears noticeably different than that of a human.
However, the innominate bones of the pig are created by the
ilium, ischium and pubis.
11. Focus your attention on the joints of the pig. The pig should
be fairly rigid due to the preservation fluids. However, you
should still attempt to produce the movements created by
synovial joints on the pig (e.g., flexion, rotation, etc.). Notice
the joints at which these movements are possible. Do they
correlate to human movement? Note your observations in Table
34.
12. You are now finished with the external observations of the
skeletal system. Remember that as you dissect into your pig,
you will be able to touch and feel the bones of the skeletal
system. As the dissection progresses, always take note of the
bones present within the fetal pig.
13. To finish, locate the bag the pig came in. Gently place the
pig back into the bag and tightly secure the bag with a rubber
band, or place in the zip-seal bag provided in the dissection
box.
14. Place the pig back into the cool environment you had
previously stored it in. Remember, the best place to keep the pig
is in a cool, dark place.
15. After your pig has been put away, clean off your dissecting
tray and dissection tools with soap and water. There should not
be any biological scraps because you did not cut into the pig.
However, biological scraps should not be thrown into the
garbage.
16. Clean the area in which you worked with soap and water as
well. As long as the underpad has not been damaged, keep it for
future experiments.

hands.

Learning the bones of the Skeletal SystemMicroscopic structure.docx

  • 1. Learning the bones of the Skeletal System Microscopic structures 1. Osteon 2. Osteocyte 3. Central canal 4. Canaliculi 5. Chondrocytes Skeletal structures 1. Epiphysis 2. Diaphysis 3. Periosteum 4. Articular cartilage 5. Medullary cavity 6. Yellow marrow 7. Spongy bone 8. Compact bone Bones to learn and know for lab quiz: Axial skeleton Frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, sphenoid, ethmoid, mandible, maxillae, palatine, zygomatic, nasal, vomer, lacrimal, cervical, thoracic & lumbar vertebrae, sacrum, coccyx, ribs & sternum Appendicular skeleton Clavicle, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges, coxal, femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges.
  • 2. Escience - Post lab questions to answer for virtual model study in experiments 6 and 8 Axial Skeleton Appendicular Skeleton Experiment 9: Articulations Articulations, or joints, are formed when two bones come together. The joints of the body are crucial in keeping the body intact and in providing movement. Joints can be classified two ways: structure or mobility. As mentioned earlier, the three types of structural classifications are fibrous, cartilaginous and synovial joints. The three types of mobility based classifications are synarthroses (immobile), amphiarthroses (slightly mobile) and diarthroses (mobile). Though both classifications are useful, we will focus on the structural classifications. In this exercise we will examine the different types of articulations. Materials Skeleton Model Procedure
  • 3. Fibrous Joints 1. Fibrous joints are held together with fibrous tissue and do not posses a joint cavity. Though there are a few fibrous joints that are amphiarthrotic, most are synarthrotic. There are two main types of fibrous joints: sutures and syndesmoses. 2. Sutures are composed of tight fitting bones with little or no connective tissue and are only found within the skull. 3. In syndesmoses, the bones are joined together by a small amount of dense fibrous connective tissue. Though there can be slight movement within the joints, they're typically considered synarthrotic. 4. Use Table 31 to locate the four prominent sutures between the cranial bones of the skull on the model skeleton. 5. Locate the articulation between the distal ends of the tibia and fibula on the model skeleton. Also, look at the articulation between the radius and ulna. These are both examples of syndesmoses. Cartilaginous Joints 6. Bones are connected with either a plate of hyaline cartilage or a disc of fibrocartilage in cartilaginous joints. These joints, similar to the fibrous joints, do not have a joint cavity; although, most of them are amphiarthrotic. 7. There are two types of cartilaginous joints: symphysis and synchondroses. In symphysis joints, the bones are connected with disc of fibrocartilage. In synchondroses bones, the bones are connected with a plate of hyaline cartilage. Table 31: Skull Suture Locations Skull Sutures
  • 4. Location Coronal Suture Articulation between the posterior portion of the frontal bone and anterior portion of the parietal bones. Lambdoid Suture Articulation between the anterior portion of the occipital bone and the posterior portion of the two parietal bones. Sagittal Suture Articulation between the two parietal bones. Squamous Sutures Articulation between the inferior portion of the parietal bone and the superior portion of the temporal bone. 8. Locate the pubic symphysis on the model skeleton. As the name suggests, this joint is a symphysis. Examine the vertebral column. Each vertebrae is connected via an intervertebral disc composed of fibrocartilage. 9. Locate the articulation between the first rib and the sternum on the model skeleton. This is an example of a synchondroses. Synovial Joints 10. Synovial joints are the most common articulation within the body. Between the two articulating bones lies a joint cavity filled with synovial fluid allowing all synovial joints to be diarthrotic, though the type of mobility (side to side, multiple
  • 5. directions, etc.) varies. 11. Six subcategories have been created based on the type of movement because of the many synovial joints within the body. Use Table 32 to locate examples of the six different subcategories of synovial joints on the model skeleton. Become familiar with the movement associated with each example. 12. Using Table 33, perform the listed movements on the model skeleton. Then perform these same movements on your own body. Pay attention to the type of synovial joint (gliding, hinge, etc.) that is involved with each movement. Table 32: Synovial Joint Information Subcategory of Synovial Joints Movement Examples Gliding Flat articulating surfaces allow for sliding movement side-to- side and back-andforth. · Intercarpal Joints at the wrist · Intertarsal Joints in the foot · Sacroiliac Joints Hinge Articulating surfaces between a convex bone and concave bone allow for uniaxial movement (one plane). Typically this movement is flexion or extension.
  • 6. · Elbow Joint · Knee Joint · Ankle Joint Pivot Uniaxial rotation (one plane) occurs from the conical surface of one bone articulating with a shallow depression of another bone. · Atlantoaxial Joint (atlas and axis) · Radioulnar Joint Condyloid (Ellipsoidal) An oval condyle of one bone fits with an elliptical cavity of another allowing biaxial movement (two plane). · Radiocarpal Joint (wrist) · Metacarpophalangeal Joints Saddle Both bones involved in the articulation possess both a concave and convex suface, called a saddle, that allows for biaxial movement (two plane). · Metacarpal of the thumb and the Trapezium of the wrist Ball and Socket Ball-like head articulates with a cup-like depression allowing
  • 7. for multiaxial movement (all directions). · Shoulder Joint · Hip Joint Table 33: Types of Joint Movement Type of Movement Definition Example Flexion Bending motion that decreases the angle between the two bones. In anatomical position, bring the palm of the hand towards the shoulder, bending the elbow. Extension Straightening motion that increases the angle between the two bones (opposite of flexion). With the elbow bent and the palm of the hand touching the shoulder, straighten the arm, bringing the palm down to the original starting position. Abduction Moving a body part away from the midline of the body. Move the left thigh laterally away from the midline of the body.
  • 8. Adduction Moving a body part towards the midline of the body (opposite of abduction). With the thigh positioned laterally away from the body, bring it back towards the midline until it reaches the original starting position. Circumduction Movement combining flexion, extension, abduction and adduction. In anatomical position, bend the wrist anatomically to produce flexion, then move the wrist laterally to produce abduction, then move the wrist posteriorly to produce extension and then move your wrist medially to produce adduction. Continue these motions, increasing the speed to produce a single motion. Rotation Movement around the longitudinal axis of the bone. With the head beginning in anatomical position, look left and then look right as if shaking your head “no”. Pronation Rotating movement of the palm and forearm from an anterior position to a posterior position. In anatomical position with the palm facing up, rotate the palm medially until it is facing down.
  • 9. Supination Rotating movement of the palm and forearm from a posterior position to an anterior position. With the palm facing down (posterior), rotate the palm laterally until it is facing up. Inversion Moving sole of foot medially. In anatomical position, move the sole of the foot medially. Eversion Moving sole of foot laterally (opposite of inversion). In anatomical position, move the sole of the laterally. Dorsiflexion Bending movement of the ankle where the foot is flexed upward. In anatomical position, lift the toes upward as if standing on the heels. Plantar flexion Bending movement of the ankle where the foot is flexed downward. In anatomical position, point the toes towards the ground, as if standing on the toes.

  • 11. Elbow Knee Hip Ankle Wrist Experiment 11: Skeletal System of the Fetal Pig In this exercise you will become familiar with the skeletal system of the fetal pig. Because the fetal pig had not reached its full gestation, many of the bones have not fully developed, but are instead still cartilaginous. Still, we can look at this structures to gain a better understanding of the axial and appendicular skeletons, along with the joints. Materials Fetal Pig Dissection Tray Dissection Tools Kit String (should still be tied onto pig's hooves) Procedure
  • 12. 1. To begin, lay your underpad down and place your dissecting tray on top of it. Lay out your dissecting tools. Be sure you have all of your safety equipment on before beginning the experiment. 2. Once prepared, gently open the bag your pig is in. Note: DO NOT destroy this bag or empty out the preserving solution within the bag, you will need it for the whole semester. 3. Lay your pig into the dissecting tray, dorsal side facing up. Slide the strings over the dissection tray to hold the pig in place. 4. Look at Figure 21 displaying the skeletal system of a grown pig. Notice the similarities and differences between that of your human skeleton and that of the pig. Figure 21:The pig skeleton 5. Due to the rigidity of your pig, it typically will not stay in this position on its own so you will need to hold it while you examine the skeletal system. 6. Begin by examining, through the skin, the axial skeleton as shown in Figure 21. Feel the bones of the skull, then continue down the vertebral column feeling the vertebrae along the way. Notice that the tail of the pig is composed of caudal vertebrae. Note your observations in Table 34. 7. Slide the strings off of the dissection tray and gently turn your pig ventral side up. Slide the strings back under the dissection tray after the pig is correctly positioned. 8. Feel the thoracic cage of the pig. Though you will not cut into the pig today, feel the similarities that occur between the
  • 13. fetal pig and the human skeleton model. Note your observations in Table 34. 9. Turn your attention to the appendicular skeleton. The pig's four appendages correlate to the human arms and legs. Use Figure 21 as a guide to try and feel the different bones of the arms and legs (humerus, femur, tibia, etc.). Note your observations in Table 34. 10. In Figure 21, look at the pelvic girdle of the pig. This structure appears noticeably different than that of a human. However, the innominate bones of the pig are created by the ilium, ischium and pubis. 11. Focus your attention on the joints of the pig. The pig should be fairly rigid due to the preservation fluids. However, you should still attempt to produce the movements created by synovial joints on the pig (e.g., flexion, rotation, etc.). Notice the joints at which these movements are possible. Do they correlate to human movement? Note your observations in Table 34. 12. You are now finished with the external observations of the skeletal system. Remember that as you dissect into your pig, you will be able to touch and feel the bones of the skeletal system. As the dissection progresses, always take note of the bones present within the fetal pig. 13. To finish, locate the bag the pig came in. Gently place the pig back into the bag and tightly secure the bag with a rubber band, or place in the zip-seal bag provided in the dissection box. 14. Place the pig back into the cool environment you had previously stored it in. Remember, the best place to keep the pig is in a cool, dark place.
  • 14. 15. After your pig has been put away, clean off your dissecting tray and dissection tools with soap and water. There should not be any biological scraps because you did not cut into the pig. However, biological scraps should not be thrown into the garbage. 16. Clean the area in which you worked with soap and water as well. As long as the underpad has not been damaged, keep it for future experiments. Figure 22:Palpate the skeleton of the fetal pig using gloved hands. Table 34: Skeletal Region Observations Skeletal Region Observations Axial Skeleton Appendicular Skeleton Joints Post-Lab Questions 1. What are some of the similarities and differences you noticed between the human skeletal system and the palpation of the fetal pig skeletal system?
