Connective tissue
tissue that is not exposed outside the body
-
Components of connective tissue
- SPG
- Specialized
cells (in blood, bones, cartilage) - Extracellular protein fibers
- Ground substance
-
Examples of extracellular protein fibers
-
Functions of connective tissue
- Provide support and protection
- Transport materials
- Store mechanical energy reserves
- Perform regulatory functions
-
What is a joint?
Where two bones meet
-
-
Types of Structural Joints and examples
- Fibrous (sutures of the skull)
- Cartilaginous (intervertebral disks)
- Synovial (hip, elbow)
-
Types of Functional Joints and examples
- Immovable (synarthroses)
- Slightly moveable (amphiarthroses)
- Freely moveable (diarthroses or synovial joints)
-
Types of Synovial Joints
- (BC-GH-PS)
- Ball and Socket
- Condyloid
- Gliding
- Hinge
- Pivot
- Saddle
-
Example of Ball and Socket joint
-
Movements of ball and socket joint
- Circumduction
- rotation
- angular in all planes
-
Example of condyloid joint
wrist (radiocarpal)
-
Movements of condyloid joint
- circumduction
- abduction
- adduction
- flexion
- extension
-
Example of Gliding joint
ankle (subtalar)
-
movements of gliding joint
-
-
Movements in hinge joint
flexion and extension in one plane
-
Examples of Pivot Joint
Atlas/axis
-
Movements of pivot joint
rotation around central axis
-
-
movements of saddle joint
- flexion
- extension
- abduction
- adduction
- circumduction
- opposition
-
Characteristics of synovial joints
- Bony surfaces are covered with articular cartilage;
- Surrounding the joint is a fibrous joint capsule;
- Ligaments join bone to bone;
- Inner surfaces of joint cavity are lined with synovial membranes;
- Synovial fluid from the membrane provides lubrication for joint;
- Some contain fibrocarilaginous disks (knee);
- Bursae reduce friction and act as shock absorbers
-
Movements of Synovial Joint
- Angular movements
- Circular movements
- Special movements
-
Angular movements and examples
- decrease or increase joint angle
- flexion;
- extension;
- hyperextension;
- abduction;
- adduction
-
Circular movements and examples
- Occur at joints with rounded surface articulating with the depression of another bone;
- Rotation;
- Circumduction;
-
Special movements
- inversion;
- eversion;
- retraction;
- elevation;
- depression
