  1. The Skeletal System

  2. Joints • Articulations of bones • Functions of joints • Hold bones together • Allow for mobility • Ways joints are classified • Functionally • Structurally

  3. Functional Classification of Joints • Synarthroses • Immovable joints • Amphiarthroses • Slightly moveable joints • Diarthroses • Freely moveable joints

  4. Structural Classification of Joints • Fibrous joints • Generally immovable • Cartilaginous joints • Immovable or slightly moveable • Synovial joints • Freely moveable

  5. Summary of Joint Classes [Insert Table 5.3 here] Table 5.3

  6. Fibrous Joints • Bones united by fibrous tissue • Example: • Sutures • Syndesmoses • Allows more movement than sutures • Example: Distal end of tibia and fibula

  7. Fibrous Joints Figure 5.28a–b

  8. Cartilaginous Joints • Bones connected by cartilage • Example: • Pubic symphysis • Intervertebral joints

  9. Cartilaginous Joints Figure 5.28c–e

  10. Bellwork- 11/3/15 • At work, a box fell from a shelf onto Bertha’s acromial region. In the emergency room, the physician felt that the head of her humerus had moved into the axilla. What had happened to Bertha? • Groups who didn’t go yesterday, have your x-rays out.

  11. Announcements • Wednesday Power Hour- A lunch • Knee Replacement Surgery Video Screening • Video will start approximately 12:10 and will last about 10 mins.

  12. Synovial Joints • Articulating bones are separated by a joint cavity containing synovial fluid

  13. Fill out the table below pgs 170-172

  14. Synovial joint— Plane joint

  15. Synovial joint— hinge joint

  16. Synovial joint— Ball and socket joint

  17. Synovial joint— Pivot (rotary) joint

  18. Types of Synovial Joints Figure 5.30a–c

  19. Types of Synovial Joints Figure 5.30d–f

  20. Class activity • One student at a time will volunteer to select a Moveable Joints Charades index card and act out the activity listed on the card. • Students watching will guess what activity is being performed and write it on their Moveable Joints Charades Activity Sheet. Students will list at least three bones used to perform the activity and at least two types of bone joints used. • Repeat the activity with another student volunteer and another activity on the Moveable Joints Charades index cards.

  21. Complete the Chart • Give at least 3 bones involved in each activity • Give at least 2 types of synovial joints involved in each activity • Explain what type of movement is occurring in each activity. • If not completed in class, this will be homework.

  22. Synovial Joints Figure 5.28f–h

  23. Features of Synovial Joints • Articular cartilage (hyaline cartilage) covers the ends of bones • A fibrous articular capsule encloses joint surfaces • A joint cavity is filled with synovial fluid • Ligaments reinforce the joint

  24. Structures Associated with the Synovial Joint • Bursae—flattened fibrous sacs • Lined with synovial membranes • Filled with synovial fluid • Not actually part of the joint • Tendon sheath • Elongated bursa that wraps around a tendon

  25. The Synovial Joint Figure 5.29

  26. Inflammatory Conditions Associated with Joints • Bursitis—inflammation of a bursa usually caused by a blow or friction • Tendonitis—inflammation of tendon sheaths • Arthritis—inflammatory or degenerative diseases of joints • Over 100 different types • The most widespread crippling disease in the United States

  27. Clinical Forms of Arthritis • Osteoarthritis • Most common chronic arthritis • Probably related to normal aging processes • Rheumatoid arthritis • An autoimmune disease—the immune system attacks the joints • Symptoms begin with bilateral inflammation of certain joints • Often leads to deformities

  28. Clinical Forms of Arthritis • Gouty arthritis • Inflammation of joints is caused by a deposition of uric acid crystals from the blood • Can usually be controlled with diet

  29. Developmental Aspects of the Skeletal System • At birth, the skull bones are incomplete • Bones are joined by fibrous membranes called fontanels • Fontanels are completely replaced with bone within two years after birth

  30. Ossification Centers in a 12-week-old Fetus Figure 5.32

  31. Skeletal Changes Throughout Life • Fetus • Long bones are formed of hyaline cartilage • Flat bones begin as fibrous membranes • Flat and long bone models are converted to bone • Birth • Fontanels remain until around age 2

  32. Skeletal Changes Throughout Life • Adolescence • Epiphyseal plates become ossified and long bone growth ends • Size of cranium in relationship to body • 2 years old—skull is larger in proportion to the body compared to that of an adult • 8 or 9 years old—skull is near adult size and proportion • Between ages 6 and 11, the face grows out from the skull

  35. Skeletal Changes Throughout Life • Curvatures of the spine • Primary curvatures are present at birth and are convex posteriorly • Secondary curvatures are associated with a child’s later development and are convex anteriorly • Abnormal spinal curvatures (scoliosis and lordosis) are often congenital

  36. Skeletal Changes Throughout Life Figure 5.16

  37. Skeletal Changes Throughout Life • Osteoporosis • Bone-thinning disease afflicting • 50% of women over age 65 • 20% of men over age 70 • Disease makes bones fragile and bones can easily fracture • Vertebral collapse results in kyphosis (also known as dowager’s hump) • Estrogen aids in health and normal density of a female skeleton
