Arthrology is the study of articulations
Classification of Joints:
Joints are named for bones involved
Classification based on anatomical arrangement of two bones and range of motion
3 Physiological Classes:
Immovable
Slightly movable
Freely movable
4 Anatomical Classes:
Bony
Also called synostoses
Immovable
Two bones ossified together ex: epiphyseal line in an adult
Fibrous
Also called synarthroses
Two bones bound by collagen fibers
3 subclasses:
Sutures - collagen fibers are short (between flat bones and skull)
Gomphoses - immovable collagen fibers (between teeth and mandible, maxilla)
Peridontal ligament
Syndesmoses - slightly movable, joined by long fibers (tibia to fibula, radius to ulna)
Interosseous membrane
Cartilaginous
Also called ampirthroses
Two bones bound by cartilage
All semi-movable
2 subclasses:
Synchondroses - bound by hyaline cartilage (epiphyseal plate in child)
Synphysis - bound by fibrocartilage (intervertebral discs)
Synovial
Also called diarthroses
Mostly freely movable
General Anatomy:
Articular cartilage (line capsule)
Articular cavity and synovial fluid (knee, shoulder)
Articulate capsule (surround epiphyses of bones)
Accessory Structure:
Menisci - pad of fibrocartilage
Tendons - muscle to bone
Ligaments - bone to bone, extrinsic or intrinsic
Bursae - packet of synovial fluid
Classes of Synovial Joints:
Based on patterns of movement
Monaxial
Biaxial
Multiaxial
What limits ROM?
Structure and action of muscles
Structure of articular surface of bones
Strength and tautness of ligaments, tendons, and joint capsules
