Musculo-Skeletal
System
Articular System
1. Discuss the classification, types, location, structure and functions,
the blood and nervous supply of bones, joints, cartilages and
muscles;
2. Locate the major cartilages of the adult skeleton.
3. Discuss the functional properties of the types of cartilages.
4. Describe the location, structure and function of skeletal, smooth
and cardiac muscles;
Objectives
Joint
• Are known as articulations
• Functional junctions between bones
• Bind parts of skeletal system together
• Make bone growth possible
• Permit parts of the skeleton to change shape
during childbirth
• Enable body to move in response to skeletal
muscle contraction
• Three (3) classifications of joints will be considered
Classification of Joints
Structural
(1) Fibrous joints
• Dense connective tissues
connect bones
• Between bones in close
contact
(2) Cartilaginous joints
• Hyaline cartilage or
fibrocartilage connect bones
(3) Synovial joints
• Most complex
• Allow free movement
Functional
• Synarthrotic joints
• Considered immovable
• Amphiarthrotic joints
• Slightly movable
• Diarthrotic joints
• Freely movable
Fibrous Joints
• There are three (3) types of fibrous joints (synarthroses):
• Syndesmosis
• Suture
• Gomphosis
• Syndesmosis:
• A sheet or bundle of fibrous
tissue connecting bones
• Lies between tibia and

General Structure of a Synovial
Joint
• Synovial joints are freely
moveable (diarthroses)
• There are three (3) types
of diarthroses
• There are specific parts of
a diarthroses:
• Articular cartilage
• Joint cavity
• Joint capsule
• Synovial membrane
• Synovial fluid
Types of Joint Movements
• Movement at a joint occurs when a muscle
contracts and its fibers pull its moveable end
(insertion) towards its fixed end (origin).
Types of Joint Movements
• Angular movements at synovial joints
Types of Joint Movements
Special Movements
Type Description Example
Structure
1. Fibrous No space between
bones; bones joined by
fibrous tissue

bones
2. Cartilaginous No space between
bones; bones joined by

Examples of Synovial Joints
• The shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee are large, freely
moveable joints.
 Augment the mechanical stability of joints
 Guide joint motion
 Prevent excessive motion
Ligaments
 Attach muscle to bone
 Transmit tensile loads from muscle to bone
 Position of muscle relative to joint
Tendons
 Dense connective tissue (parallel-fibers of
collagen)
- Sparsely vascularized
 Cellular (fibroblasts) – 20 %
 Extracellular (80%)
- 70% H2O
- 30% solids –collagen, ground substance,
elastin
Composition
 Collagen
- ligaments - 75% of solids
- tendons – 75%+ of solids
Composition
Ligament/Tendon Schematic
 sustain high tensile forces
 flexible to allow changes in direction of muscle pull
Tendon - Structure and Function
 pliant and flexible
 strong and inextensible/inelastic
Ligament - Structure and Function
 Rate of impact
 Amount of load

Lifespan Changes
• Joint stiffness is an early sign of aging
• Fibrous joints first to change; can strengthen however over a
lifetime
• Changes in symphysis joints of vertebral column diminish
flexibility and decrease height (remember water loss from the
IVDs)
• Synovial joints lose elasticity
• Disuse hampers the blood supply
• Activity and exercise can keep joints functional longer

Inflammatory Conditions
Associated with Joints
· Bursitis – inflammation of a bursa usually
caused by a blow or friction
· Tendonitis – inflammation of tendon sheaths
· Arthritis – inflammatory or degenerative
diseases of joints
· Over 100 different types
· The most widespread crippling disease in the
United States
Clinical Forms of Arthritis
· Osteoarthritis
· Most common chronic arthritis
· Probably related to normal aging processes
· Rheumatoid arthritis
· An autoimmune disease – the immune system
attacks the joints
· Symptoms begin with bilateral inflammation of
certain joints
· Often leads to deformities
Clinical Forms of Arthritis
· Gouty Arthritis
·Inflammation of joints is caused by a
deposition of urate crystals from the blood
·Can usually be controlled with diet

Editor's Notes

  • #6 Also in Radius and ulnar
  • #7 Gomphosis – only found where the peridental ligament joins to the mandible or maxilla
  • #10 synovial membrane lines the interior of the joint capsule and secretes synovial fluid into the joint cavity. This fluid lubricates, cushions shocks, prevents abrasion, and supports the chondrocytes of the articular cartilages through nutrient distribution. Even in a large joint such as the knee, the total quantity of synovial fluid in a joint is normally less than 3 mL.
  • #33 The forearm consists of the radius and ulna. A. The radius and ulna are uncrossed in anatomical position, but cross over when the arm is pronated. B. Right radius and ulna, anterior view in the anatomical position. C. Right ulna, medial view. Question: Which bone has the coronoid process? Answer: Ulna
  • #35 Question: Which structure is continuous with the synovial membrane – the tendon sheath or the ligaments? Answer: Tendon sheath
  • #38 The right elbow is illustrated in the flexed position. Question: Name the ligament that wraps around the radius. Answer: Annular ligament
  • #39 Question: How many phalanges are found in the thumb? Answer: Two
  • #40 A. Sectional view B. Anterior view Question: What is the name of the socket into which the ball of the femoral head fits? Answer: Acetabulum
  • #44 A. Sagittal section. B. Flexed knee, anterior view. The patella and other anterior structures have been removed. Question: Which 2 ligaments are found within the synovial cavity? Answer: Anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments
  • #48 Click to add notes
  • #50 The infant skull at birth, showing the fontanels. The fontanels close at the age shown in the brackets. Question: Which fontanel closes last? Answer: Anterior fontanel
