The document discusses different types of joints in the skeletal system. It describes three main classifications of joints: fibrous joints that connect bones using connective tissues, cartilaginous joints that connect bones using cartilage, and synovial joints that are the most complex and allow for the most movement. Within these classifications are various sub-types of joints, including ball-and-socket, hinge, pivot, and others. Examples are provided of specific joints like the shoulder, elbow, and hip. The document also covers joint movements, life-span changes to joints, and common joint disorders.

2. Chapter 8 Joints of the Skeletal System 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

3. Classification of Joints Fibrous Joints dense connective tissues connect bones between bones in close contact Cartilaginous Joints hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage connect bones Synovial Joints most complex allow free movement synarthrotic immovable amphiarthrotic slightly movable diarthrotic freely movable

4. Fibrous Joints 3 Types Syndesmosis Suture Gomphosis Syndesmosis a sheet or bundle of fibrous tissue connects bones amphiarthrotic lies between tibia and fibula

5. Fibrous Joints Suture between flat bones synarthrotic thin layer of connective tissue connects bones Gomphosis cone-shaped bony process in a socket tooth in jawbone synarthrotic

6. Cartilaginous Joints 2 Types Synchondrosis Symphysis Synchondrosis bands of hyaline cartilage unite bones epiphyseal plate (temporary) between manubrium and first rib synarthrotic

7. Cartilaginous Joints Symphysis pad of fibrocartilage between bones pubis symphysis joint between bodies of adjacent vertebrae amphiarthrotic

8. Synovial Joints diarthrotic joint cavity synovial fluid joint capsule synovial membrane bursae

9. Types of Synovial Joints Ball-and-Socket Joint hip shoulder Condyloid Joint between metacarpals and phalanges

10. Types of Synovial Joints Gliding Joint between carpals between tarsals Hinge Joint elbow between phalanges

11. Types of Synovial Joints Pivot Joint between proximal ends of radius and ulna Saddle Joint between carpal and metacarpal of thumb

12. Types of Joint Movements abduction/adduction dorsiflexion/plantarflexion flexion/extension/hyperextension

13. Types of Joint Movements rotation/circumduction supination/pronation

14. Types of Joint Movements eversion/inversion protraction/retraction elevation/depression

15. Shoulder Joint ball-and-socket head of humerus glenoid cavity of scapula loose joint capsule bursae ligaments prevent displacement very wide range of movement

16. Shoulder Joint

17. Elbow Joint hinge joint trochlea of humerus trochlear notch of ulna gliding joint capitulum of humerus head of radius flexion and extension many reinforcing ligaments stable joint

18. Elbow Joint

19. Hip Joint ball-and-socket joint head of femur acetabulum of coxa heavy joint capsule many reinforcing ligaments less freedom of movement than shoulder joint

20. Hip Joint

21. Knee Joint largest joint most complex medial and lateral condyles of distal end of femur medial and lateral condyles of proximal end of tibia femur articulates anteriorly with patella modified hinge joint flexion/extension/little rotation strengthened by many ligaments and tendons menisci separate femur and tibia bursae

22. Knee Joint

23. Life-Span Changes Joint stiffness is an early sign of aging Fibrous joints first to change; can strengthen over a lifetime Changes in symphysis joints of vertebral column diminish flexibility and decrease height Synovial joints lose elasticity Disuse hampers the blood supply Activity and exercise can keep joints functional longer

24. Clinical Application Joint Disorders Sprains damage to cartilage, ligaments, or tendons associated with joints forceful twisting of joint Bursitis inflammation of a bursa overuse of a joint Arthritis inflamed, swollen, painful joints Rheumatoid Arthritis Osteoarthritis Gout
