Physiology-Articulations

TermDefinition
ARTICULATION (joint) a point of contact between bones
STRUCTURAL CLASSIFICATION joints are named according to the type of connective tissue that joins the bones together. or by the presence of a fluid-filled joint capsule
FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION joints are divided into three classes according to the degree of movement they permit
FIBROUS JOINTS (SYNARTHROSES) The articulating surfaces of bones that form fibrous joints fit closely together. syndesmoses, sutures, and gomphoses
CARTILAGINOUS JOINTS (AMPHIARTHROSES) The bones that articulate to form cartilaginous joints are joined together by either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage. synchondroses and symphyses
SYNDESMOSES Fibrous bands (ligaments) connect articulating bones
SUTURES Teethlike projections of articulating bones interlock with a thin layer of fibrous tissue connecting them
GOMPHOSES Fibrous tissue connects the roots of the teeth to the alveolar processes
SYNCHONDROSES Hyaline cartilage connects articulating bones
SYMPHYSES Fibrocartilage between articulating bones
SYNOVIAL JOINTS (DIARTHROSES) freely movable joints. They are not only the body’s most mobile but also its most numerous and anatomically most complex joints.
UNIAXIAL JOINTS Synovial joints that permit movement around only one axis and in only one plane. hinge and pivot joints
BIAXIAL JOINTS Diarthroses that permit movement around two perpendicular axes in two perpendicular planes. saddle and condyloid joints
MULTIAXIAL JOINTS Joints that permit movement around three or more axes and in three or more planes. Ball and socket, and gliding joints
