Chapter 8Joints of the Skeletal System
• Articulations• Functional junctions between bones• Bind parts of skeletal system together• Make bone growth possible• Permit parts of the skeleton to change shape during childbirth• Enable body to move in response to skeletal muscle contraction

Classification of Joints
• Fibrous Joints• dense connective tissues connect bones• between bones in close contact
• Cartilaginous Joints• hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage connect bones
• Synovial Joints• most complex• allow free movement
• synarthrotic• immovable
• amphiarthrotic• slightly movable
• diarthrotic• freely movable
Fibrous Joints
3 Types• Syndesmosis• Suture• Gomphosis
Syndesmosis•a sheet or bundle of fibrous tissue connects bones• amphiarthrotic• lies between tibia and fibula
Fibrous Joints
Suture• between flat bones• synarthrotic• thin layer of connective tissue connects bones
Gomphosis• cone-shaped bony process in a socket• tooth in jawbone• synarthrotic
4
Cartilaginous Joints
2 Types• Synchondrosis• Symphysis
Synchondrosis• bands of hyaline cartilage unite bones• epiphyseal plate (temporary)• between manubrium and first rib• synarthrotic
Cartilaginous Joints
Symphysis• pad of fibrocartilage between bones• pubis symphysis• joint between bodies of adjacent vertebrae• amphiarthrotic
• ball-and-socket• head of humerus• glenoid cavity of scapula• loose joint capsule• bursae• ligaments prevent displacement• very wide range of movement
Shoulder Joint
Elbow Joint
• hinge joint• trochlea of humerus• trochlear notch of ulna
• gliding joint• capitulum of humerus• head of radius
• flexion and extension• many reinforcing ligaments• stable joint
12
Elbow Joint
Hip Joint
• ball-and-socket joint• head of femur• acetabulum of coxa• heavy joint capsule• many reinforcing ligaments• less freedom of movement than shoulder joint
Hip Joint
13
Knee Joint
• largest joint• most complex• medial and lateral condyles of distal end of femur• medial and lateral condyles of proximal end of tibia• femur articulates anteriorly with patella• modified hinge joint• flexion/extension/little rotation• strengthened by many ligaments and tendons• menisci separate femur and tibia• bursae
Knee Joint
Life-Span Changes
• Joint stiffness is an early sign of aging•Fibrous joints first to change; can strengthen over a lifetime• Changes in symphysis joints of vertebral column diminish flexibility and decrease height • Synovial joints lose elasticity• Disuse hampers the blood supply• Activity and exercise can keep joints functional longer
14
Clinical Application
Joint DisordersSprains• damage to cartilage, ligaments, or tendons associated with joints• forceful twisting of joint
Bursitis• inflammation of a bursa• overuse of a joint
Arthritis• inflamed, swollen, painful joints
• Rheumatoid Arthritis• Osteoarthritis• Gout
