- Syndesmoses
- sutures
- gomphosis
-
what are syndesmoses type joints
fibrous aritculations that are held together by inerosseous ligaments and slender fibrous cords that allow slight movement (amphiarthrodial). the inferior or distal tibiofibular joint is considered a syndesmoses type joint
-
what are the sutures type joints?
Found only between the bones of the skull, movement is very limited and in adults these are considered immovable (synarthrodial)
-
what are gomphoses type joints?
a conical process is inserted into a socketlike portion of bone. only occurs between the roots of teeth and alveolar sockets fo the mandible and maxillae. allows very limited movement (amphiarthorodial)
-

-
what are symphisis type joints?
- the presence of a broad, glattened disk of fibrocartilage between 2 contiguous bony surfaces. These disks are capable of being compressed and displaced, allowme some movement, which makes them amphiarthrodialexamples are the intervertebral disks and are also found in the pubic symphysis
-
what are synchondroses type joints?
temporary forms of joints, the hyline cartilage or epiphyseal plate, which is converted into bone at adulthood. it is considered immovable or synarthodial
-
what are synovial joints?
a fibrous capsule that contains synovial fluid and they are freely movable or diarthrodial
-
what are the movement types of synovial joints
- plane (gliding) joints
- ginglymus(hinge)jonts
- trochoid (pivot) joints
- Ellipsoid joints
- sellar (saddle) joints
- speroidal (ball and socket) joints
- bicondylar joints
-
palne (gliding) joints
it permits the least movement, which is a sliding or gliding motion between articulating surfaces. Examples are intercarpal joints, carpometacarpa joints, intermetacarpal joints
-
ginglymys (hinge) joints
permit flexion and extension. examples include interphalangeal joints of both fingers and toes and the elbow joint.
-
Ellipsoid joints
this joint movemente occurs primarily in one plane and is combined with a slight degree of rotation at an axis at right angles of primary plane of movement. allows primarily flexion and extension, and abduction and adduction. examples include teh metacarpophalangeal joints and the wrist joint
-
trochoid (pivot) joint
is formed by a bony, pivotlike process that is surrounded by a ring of ligaments and/or a bony structure. it allows rotational movement around a single axis. Examples are the proxima and distal radioulnar joints and between the 1st and 2nd cervical vertebrae C1-C2
-
Sellar (saddle) joints
the ends of the bone are shaped concave-convex and are positioned opposite of eachother. Allows flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, and circumduduction. The best example is the first carpometacarpal joint.
-
spheroidal (ball and socket) joints
allows the greatest freedom of motion. the greater the depth of the socket, the more limited the movement is. movements include flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, circumduction, and medial and lateral rotation. Esamples are the hip joint and shoulder joint.
-
Bicondylar joints
usually provide movement in a single direction. they can permit limited rotation. Bicondylar joints are formed by two convex condyles, which may be encased by a fibrous capsule. examples are the knee and the temporomadiular joint.
