Joints/Articulations

A&P II chapter 9

TermDefinition
Arthros joint, as in arthritis
Articulation -where two bones meet -most permit movement -normal vs pathological movement
pathological movement abnormal movement
kinesiology study of motion
Two Classes of Joints Function & Structural
Functional Joints -based on movement possible between two bones - 3 classes of joint, Synarthrotic, Amphiarthtotic, Diarthrotic
Range of Motion (ROM) Based on amount of movement possible between two bones
Structural Joints Based on anatomy only, especially the matrix
3 matrix ingredients Fibers, Cartilage, Bone *Synovial joints contain all 3 matrices
Synarthrosis syn-no No ROM prevents movement found in skull sutures
Amphiarthrosis amphi-some Some ROM made for stability ankles and wrists
Diarthrosis Dia-across Full ROM free movement, but unstable shoulders and knees
Structural Anatomy Matrix + Joint Cavity
Synovial Joints = all 3 matrices and joint cavity
Types of Synarthrosis joints 1. Suture 2. Gomphosis 3.Synchondrosis 4.Synostosis
Suture fiber bones sewn together (interlocked) only in skull
Gomphosis fiber fibrous connection (periodental ligamnet) binds teeth to sockets
Synchondrosis cartilage rigid cartilage bridge between 2 bones epiphyseal cartilage (growth plate) of long bone still while growing Ribs 1&2 attached to manubrium
Synostosis bony 2 bones fuse, no boundary mature bones fuse the growth plates (cartilage -> bones)
Type of Ampiharthrosis Joints 1. Syndesmosis 2. Symphysis
Syndesmosis fiber ligament bones connected by ligaments ex. Tibia/fibula, radius/ulna
Symphysis fibrocartilage 2 bones connected by a wedge of fibrocartilage ex. pubic cartilage and intervertebral discs
Synovial Joint (Diarthrosis) all 3 fibers aka movable joint ends of articulating bones
Special features of synovial joint Joint Capsule (articular capsule) Synovial fluid Joint Cavity Articular Cartilage Accessory structures
Joint Capsule (Articular capsule) fibrous cartilage outside synovial membrane inside
fibrous cartilage tough like jeans, outside of the joint capsule)
synovial membrane makes serous fluid aka synovial fluid, inside the joint capsule
joint cavity space between bones, filled with synovial fluid
articular cartilage covers end of long bones reduces friction in joints, aided by synovial fluid similar to hyaline cartilage but more water
Accessory structures cushions and stabilizes joints menisci, fat pads, bursae, ligaments
Menisci (Meniscus) fibrocartilage pad/disc between bones found in knee and TMJ joint
Bursae (Bursa) fluid filled sac that contains synovial fluid may be connected or separated from joint cavity protects where tendons/ligaments rub against tissue reduce friction, act as shock absorbers
Fat pad adipose covered synovial membrane, usually outside the joint cavity fills space when joints move
Accessory Ligaments capsular ligaments- outside (extracapsular), inside (intracapsular) the synovial joint sprain = stretched or torn cartilage, but overall ligament is okay
synovial tendon sheaths tubular bursae surrounding long tendons passing over wrist and ankle joints
Adventitious bursae abnormal occurrence due to distorted movement
Damage to cartilage bone breaks down, rough surfaces result, which results in pain because of friction Osteoarthritis (Most Common), rheumatoid arthritis, septic arthritis, infection
synovial fluid tough and viscous plasma w/hyaluronic acid secrete by fibroblasts in the synovial membrane
Characteristics of synovial fluid a.) Lubrication- weeping cartilage like a sponge filled w/ synovial fluid, creates a hydroplane surface b.Nutrient Distribution-chondrocytes get food and get rid of waste through vacuum created by movement c. Shock absorption-Viscosity increases w/press
Dislocation (luxation) articulating surfaces forced out of position damages articular cartilage, ligaments, joint capsule
Sublaxation partial dislocation
Rheumatism pain and stiffness of skeletal and muscular systems
Arthritis all forms of rheumatism that damage articular cartilages of synovial joints
Osteoarthritis MC due to repetitive motion of opposing joint surfaces and/or genetic factors affecting collagen formation pain management and/or surgical correction may get rid of symptoms movement re-education useful
Rheumatoid Arthritis autoimmune disease of joints Inflammatory condition due to genetic & environmental factors wrist & hands, lungs, heart inflammation
Gouty Arthritis occurs when crystals (uric acid or Calcium Salts) form within synovial fluid due to metabolic disorders Consuming meat, seafood, beer (purines) & being overweight are factors
Joint Immobilization reduces flow of synovial fluid can cause arthritis symptoms treated by Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) therapy
Bones and Aging Bone mass decreases, bones weaken, increased risk of hip and pelvic fracture and hip dislocation
Bone recycling living bones maintain homeostatic ion equilibrium
Osteoblasts Bone Building
Osteoclasts Bone Breakdown- releases Calcium Bone contains 99% of total body Calcium
Factors affecting Bone strength all work by affecting bone recycling 1.Age 2. Physical Stress 3.Hormone levels 4.Calcium and Phosphorus uptake and excretion 5.Genetic and enviornmental factors
Disorders in the body can cause Bone tumors Osteoporosis Arthritis Rickets (Vitamin D deficiency)
Ways to move a bone 1. Move the point past another bone on a mostly flat surface 2.Change the angle of the shaft in relation to another bone 3.Rotate the shaft while keeping the point in place one end of the bone always keeps contact w/another bone
Articular motion slide, roll, spin
Gliding (linear) movement two surfaces sliding past one another
Angular movement opening or closing an angle (20-120 degrees) flexion, extension, hyperextension, abduction, adduction, circumduction
Rotation turning a bone inwards or outwards -external (lateral) rotation, internal (medial) rotation, pronation, supination
Special movements related to specific joints like the thumb inversion, eversion, dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, opposition, reposition, protraction, retraction, elevation, depression, lateral flexion
Axes of Motion 1. Monoaxial 2. Biaxial 3. Triaxial 4. Multiaxial/nonaxial
Monaxial movement around one axis
Biaxial movement around two axes
Triaxial movement around 3 axes
Multiaxial/nonaxial movement in any direction
Synovial Joint Shape Gliding Hinge Condylar Ball and Socket Saddle Pivot
Gliding Joint Unite bones using cartilage nonaxial movement ex: sacroiliac joint, intercarpal (wrist bones) joint, vertebrocostal joints (rib to vertebrae), Acromioclavicular joint & sternoclavicular joint
Hinge Joint Uniaxial Movement angular movement ex: elbow, knee, ankle, interphalangeal (fingers and toes) joints
Condylar Joint Biaxial angular movement ex: radiocarpal joint of the wrist, metacarophalangeal joints 2-5 (knuckles) metatarsophalangeal joints 2-5 (toe to foot)
Ball and Socket triaxial angular movement that includes circumduction, plus rotation movement ex: shoulder joint, hip joint
Saddle Joint Biaxial, angular movement ex: carometacarpal joint (CMC) = thumb, sternoclavicular joint
Pivot Joint monoaxial, rotation movement ex: atlantoaxial (C1-C2) joint, proximal radioulnar joint of elbow
Movement Vs. Strength Joint can't be both mobile and strong greater mobility = weaker joint mobile joints supported by muscles/tendons and ligaments -injuries destabilize joints
Sutures bone to bone connections
Flexion anterior-posterior plane reduces angle between elements
extension anterior-posterior plane increases angle between elements
Hyperextension Extension past anatomical position
Abduction Frontal (Coronal) plane moves away from longitudinal axis away from body center
Adduction frontal (coronal) plane moves toward longitudinal axis toward body center
Circumduction circular motion w/o rotation combo of angles which appears to be seamless and interrupted 360 degrees
Internal rotation (medial) rotates toward the longitudinal axis of the body
External rotation (lateral) rotates away from the longitudinal axis of the body
Pronation turns forearm radius over ulna, palms face posterior
Supination forearm is in anatomical position, palms face anterior
Inversion face sole of the foot inward
Eversion face sole of the foot outward
Dorsiflexion flexion at ankle (toes to the ceiling)
Plantar flexion Extension at ankle (toes to the floor)
Opposition thumb movement toward fingers or palm (grasping)
reposition opposite of opposition, repose (relax thumb)
protraction moves anteriorly in horizontal plane (pushing forward)
retraction moves posteriorly in horizontal plane (pulling back)
Elevation moves in superior direction (up)
Depression moves in inferior direction (down)
Lateral Flexion bends vertebral column from side to side
