Question
Answer
Fiberous Joints   Held together by Dense Connective Tissue containing collagenous fibers.  
🗑
Types of Fiberous Joints   1) Syndesmosis 2) Suture 3) Gomphosis  
🗑
Syndesmosis Joint   Bones bound togther by interosseous ligaments Flexible and may be twisted ex) distal ends of tibis and fibula (tibofibular articulation)  
🗑
Suture   Only between flat bones of the skull no movement  
🗑
Gomphosis Joint   Formed by the union of cone-shaped bony proces in a bony socket. ex) tooth fastended to jaw bone no movement  
🗑
Cartilaginous Joints   Bones connected by Hyaline Cartilage or Fibrocartilage  
🗑
Tyoes of Cartilagenous Joints   1) Synchondrosis 2) Symphysis  
🗑
Synchondrosis   Bones united by bands of Hyaline Cartilage. Temperary structures that dissapear during growth. No movement aftergrowth. Connects: epiphysis and diaphysis sternum and first rib  
🗑
Symphysis   Articular surfaces seperated by thin layers of hyaline cartilage attached to band of fibrocartilage. Limited movement when back is bent or twisted. ex) joints btwn bodies of vertebrae.  
🗑
Synovial Joints   Articulating bones surrounded by a joint capsule of ligaments and synovial membranes; ends of articulating bones covered by hyaline cartilage and seperated by synovial fluid.  
🗑
Ball and Socket   Ball-shaped head of one bone articulates with cup-shaped socket of another. Movements in all planes. ex) shoulder, hip.  
🗑
Condyloid   oval-shaped condyle of one bone articulates with elliptical cavity of another. Variety of movements, but no rotation.  
🗑
Gliding   Articulating surfaces are neraly flat of slightly curved. Back and forth (sliding) and twisting. ex) wrist and ankle  
🗑
Hinge   Convex surface of one bone articulates with concave surface of another. Flexion and extension. ex) elbow, joints of phalanges, back.  
🗑
Pivot   Cylindrical surface of one bone articulates with ring of bone and fiberous tissue. Rotation. Joint btwn proximal ends of radius and ulna, neck.  
🗑
Saddle   Articulating surfaces have both concave and convex regions; surface of one bone fits the complementary suface of another. variety of movements mainly in 2 planes. joint btwn carpal and metacarpal of thumb.  
🗑
