  1. The Articular System

  2. Joint • Connection between two bones • Joints allow motion • Bear body weight • Provides stability

  3. Types of Joints • Fibrous • Cartilaginous • Synovial

  4. Fibrous joint Has thin layer of periosteum between the bones e.g. – sutures of skull

  5. 3 types of fibrous joints: • Synarthrosis thin layer of fibrous periosteum between two bones no motion between bones • Syndesmosis great deal of fibrous tissue small amount of twisting or stretching e.g.- distal tibiofibularjint distal radio ulnar joint • Gomphosis between tooth & wall of its dental socket in mandible & maxilla

  6. Cartilaginous joint • Hyaline or fibrocartilage is present between bone surfaces Vertebral joints: disc of fibro cartilage directly connect bones 1st sternocostal joint: direct connection made by hyaline cartilage

  7. Synovial (diarthrodial) joint • No direct union between bone ends • Joint surfaces covered with hyaline (articular) cartilage • Outer layer of capsule by strong fobrous tissue

  8. Diarthroidal Joint Classification • Nonaxial • Uniaxial • Biaxial • Triaxial

  9. Nonaxial • Linear movement • Flat surfaces of bone glide over each other

  10. Uniaxial • Angular movement (hinge) • One plane around one axis

  11. Biaxial • Movement in 2 different directions allowed

  12. Triaxial(multiaxial) • Motion occurs at 3 axes

  13. Joint Structure • Bone • Ligament- bands of fibrous tissue • Hold ends of bones together • Flexible, but not elastic

  14. Joint Capsule • Surrounds • Protects • 2 layers: • Outer fibrous layer • Inner layer • Synovial membrane • Synovial fluid http://www.allaboutmydoc.com/surgeonweb/surgeonId.2729/clinicId.1432/theme.theme3/country.US/language.en/page.article/docId.20262

  15. Cartilage – 3 Types • Hyaline (articular) cartilage • Fibrocartilage • Meniscus • Intervertebral discs • Labrum • Elastic cartilage • Ear

  16. Tendon • Connects muscle to bone • Tendon sheaths • Aponeurosis • Flat tendinous sheet • Linea alba

  17. Bursa • Fluid filled sac • Located in areas of friction • Lined with synovial membrane • Natural vs. Acquired

  18. PLANES of the BODY • Sagittal plane • Divides body into left and right halves • Flexion/extension • Frontal plane • Divides body into front and back halves • Adduction/abduction • Transverse (Horizontal) plane • Divides body into top and bottom halves • Rotation • Cardinal Planes – divide the body equally

  19. Axis • Point through center of joint around which the body part rotates • Movement Occurs In a Plane, Around an Axis

  20. Sagittal axis • Frontal axis • Vertical axis

  21. Degrees of Freedom • Number of planes in which a joint can move • Uniaxial joint – one degree of freedom, motion at one axis • Biaxial joint – 2 degrees of freedom, motion at 2 axes • Triaxial joint – 3 degrees of freedom, motion at 3 axes
