Question
Answer
Joints (articulations)   unions or junctions between 2+ bones or rigid parts of the skeleton  
🗑
Classification of Joints   1. Synovial Joints (most common) <p>2. Fibrous Joints <p>3. Cartilaginous Joints  
🗑
Synovial Joints   a joint(articular) capsule (outer fibrous layer lined by a serous synovial membrane) spanning & enclosing an articular cavity; joint cavity=potential space that contains a small amount of lubricating synovial fluid, secreted by the synovial membrane  
🗑
Fibrous Joints   fibrous tissue; amount of movement occurring @ fibrous joint depends in most cases on the length of the fibers; EX - sutures of the cranium; b/w Radius & Ulna  
🗑
Cartilaginous Joints   hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage; primary cartilaginous joints (synchondroses) slight bending during early life; Secondary cartilaginous joints (symphyses) strong, slightly movable but no more growth  
🗑
Major Synovial Joints   1. Plane Joints <P>2. Hinge Joints <P>3. Saddle Joints <P>4. Condyloid/Ellipsoid Joints <P>5. Ball & Socket Joints <P>6. Pivot Joints  
🗑
Plane Joints   permit gliding/sliding movements in plane of articular surface; flat or almost flat bone surface & limited movement; numerous & nearly always small  
🗑
Hinge Joints   permit flexon & extension only & uniaxial (occur in 1 plane (sagittal) around single axis transversely); joint capsule=thin & lax  
🗑
Saddle Joints   permit abduction & adduction, flexion & extension, circumduction=possible; biaxial=2 axes at right angles of each other (sagittal & frontal); 2 surfaces=concave & convex  
🗑
Condyloid/Ellipsoid Joints   permit flexion, extension, abduction & adduction; biaxial; movement in 1 plane (sagittal) is usually greater (freer) than the other; circumduction=possible but more restricted than saddle joints  
🗑
Ball & Socket Joints   movement in multiple axes & planes (flexion/extension/abduction/adduction/medial & lateral rotation/circumduction)=multi-axial joints  
🗑
Pivot Joints   uniaxial=rotation around a central axis; rounded process of bone rotates in sleeve or ring  
🗑
Movement of Pectoral Girdle   Involves the sternoclavicular joint, acromioclavicular joint, & glenohumeral joint; usually all move at once; provides for attachment of the superior appendicular skeleton to the axial skeleton  
🗑
Range of Motion (ROM) of Pectoral Girdle   both scapulothoracic (movement of the scapula on the thoracic wall) & glenohumeral movements must be considered  
🗑
Scapulohumeral Rhythm   Every 3° of elevation, approx 2° occurs @ glenohumeral & 1° @ physiological scapulothoracic. EX: when upper limb has been elevated vertically at the side of the head (180° of arm abduction/flexion), 120° @ glenohumeral & 60° @ scapulothoracic  
🗑

🗑
Ankylosis   stiffening or fixation of the pectoral girdle joints; more restricted ROM even if glenohumeral joint is normal  
🗑
Muscles of Glenohumeral Joint   Axioappendicular muscles=act indirectly on the joint (on pectoral girdle)<P>Scapulohumeral muscles=act directly on glenohumeral joint<P>other muscles resist dislocation w/o producing movement at joint  
🗑
Bursae   sac-like cavities w/capillary films of synovial fluid are near the glenohumeral joint<P>located where tendons rub against bone, ligaments or other tendons & where skin moves over a bony prominence  
🗑
