Question
Answer
Joints   Union between two or more bones Classified on basis of structural features: fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial types  
🗑
Joints innervation   Hilton's Law: HiNerve supplying joint also supplies muscles that move the joint and the skin covering the insertion of such muscles  
🗑
Fibrous Joints   Synarthroses Joined by fibrous tissue, have no joint cavities, and allow little movement  
🗑
Fibrous Connective Tissue Connect   Sutures- found between Flat bones of Skull Syndesmoses- occur as the inferior tibiofibular and tympanostapedial syndesmoses  
🗑
Cartilaginous Joints   United by cartilage and have no joint cavity  
🗑
Primary Cartilaginous Joints   Synchondroses United by HYALINE cartilage Do not allow movement but growth in the length of the bone  
🗑
Primary Cartilaginous Joints Examples   Epiphyseal cartilage plates= union between epiphysis and diaphysis of growing bone Spneno-occipital and manubriosternal synchondroses  
🗑
Secondary Cartilaginous Joints   Symphyses Joined by FIBROCARTILAGE Slightly movable joints  
🗑
Secondary Cartilaginous Joints Examples   Pubic symphysis and interval disks  
🗑
Synovial Joints   Diarthrodial Permit great degree of free movement Classified according to shape of articulation and/or type of movement  
🗑
Synovial Joints: Plane (Gliding) Joints   United by two flat articular surfaces Allow simple gliding or sliding of one bone over another  
🗑
Synovial Joints: Plane (Gliding) Joints Examples   In the proximal tibiofibular, intertarsal, intermetacarpal, sternoclavicular, and acromioclavicular joints  
🗑
Synovial Joints: Hinge (Ginglymus)Joints   Resembles door hinge Allow only flexion and extension  
🗑
Synovial Joints: Hinge (Ginglymus)Joints Examples   In the elbow, ankle, and interphalangeal joints  
🗑
Synovial Joints: Pivot (Trochoid) Joints   Formed by central bony pivot turning within a bony ring Only allows rotation  
🗑
Synovial Joints: Pivot (Trochoid) Joints Examples   In the superior and inferior radioulnar joints and in the atrantoaxial joint  
🗑
Synovial Joints: Condylar (Ellipsoidal) Joints   Two convex condyles articulating with two concave condyles Shape of articulation is ellipsoidal Allow flexion and extension  
🗑
Synovial Joints: Condylar (Ellipsoidal) Joints Examples   In the wrist (radiocarpal), metacarpophalengeal, knee (tibiofemoral), and atlanto-occipital joints  
🗑
Synovial Joints: Saddle (Sellar) Joints   Resemble a horse's saddle Allow flexion and extension, abduction and adduction, and circumduction but no axial rotation  
🗑
Synovial Joints: Saddle (Sellar) Joints Examples   In the carpometacarpal joint of th thumb and between femur and patella  
🗑
Synovial Joints: Ball-and-socket (Spheroidal) Joints   Formed by reception of globular head into a cup-sapped cavity Allow movement in many directions: flexion and extension, abduction and adduction, medial and lateral rotations, and circumduction  
🗑
Synovial Joints: Ball-and-socket (Spheroidal) Joints Examples   In the shoulder and hip joints  
🗑
