Three basic principles in determinding joint structure and function
Joint design, structure & function
-
Joint design
determined by the funtion of the joint and its component parts
-
Joint structure
Determines the joint's function
-
Single vs. Complex function joints
- Single- creates stability (cranium sutures)
- Complex- creates mobility (hip)
-
How many bones are in the Human body?

Joint Categories (classification of Joints)
Synarthroses & diarthroses joints
-
Synarthroses (non-synovial) Joints
Made up of 2 types of connective tissue w/ no synovial fluid & no synovial membrane
-
Fibrous Joints
- bone--solid connective tissue--bone
- -Fibrous connective tissue
- a) suture joint
- b) gomphosis joint
- c) syndemosis
-
Suture Joint
only example- coronal sutures in the human skull
-
Gomphosis Joint
- Peg in a hole
- (ex) tooth is inserted in the bony socket of the mandible
-
Syndemosis Joint
- Two bony components are joined directly by a ligament, cord, or aponeurotic membrane.
- (ex) shaft of the fibula and tibia (held by aponeurotic membrane)
-
Diarthrosis Joint
(ex) Cartilagenous Joint
- -Joint Capsule
- -Joint Cavity
- -Synovial membrane
- -Synovial Fluid
- -Hyaline cartilage
-
Cartilagenous Joint
bone--cartilage--bone
The cartilage material here is fibrocartilage or hyaline growth cartilage
- -Symphysis Joint
- -Synchondrosis
-
Symphysis Joint
- Fibrocartilage Material
- (ex) symphysis pubis joint (forms the 2 sides of the pelvis)
-
Synchondrosis Joint
-most clinically used in diarthrosis category
- Hyaline Growth Cartilage in the developing skeletal system-- When the individual reaches maturity, the hyaline cartilage ossifies and converts to a bony union
- (ex) first sternalcostal joint
-
Joint Capsule
encapsulates the entire joint structure, made of fibrous tissue (stratum fibrosum)
-
Joint Cavity
- enclosed by the entire joint capsule
- -needed for articulation (bone on bone)
-
Synovial Membrane
lines the inner surface of the capsule (stratum synovium)-- creates synovial fluid
-
Synovial Fluid
Forms a film over the joint surface
-
Hyaline Cartilage
- Covers the joint surface (articular cartilage)
- --also found on the ends of long bones
-
Subclassification of Synovial Joints
- -Uniaxial Joints
- -Biaxial Joints
- -Triaxial Joints
-
-
Uniaxial Joints
One plane/axis of movement/ one degree of freedom
- -Hinge Joints
- -Pivot Joints
-
Hinge Joints
- Sagittal plane/frontal axis
- Flexion/extension movement
(ex) IP Joints of the hands
-
Biaxial Joints
Two planes/axis of movement/ two degrees of freedom
-
Motion & Planes of Biaxial Joints
- -frontal plane/a-p axis
- -sagittal plane/frontal axis
- -Flexion & Extension
- -Abduction & Adduction
- (Ex) Metacarpal Joints- knuckles of the hand & Saddle Joint of the thumb
-
Triaxial Joints
Three planes/axis of movement or three degrees of freedom
-
Motion & Planes of Triaxial Joints
- -Transverse plane/longitudinal axis
- -frontal plane/a-p axis
- -sagittal plane/frontal axis
- -flexion/extension
- -abduction/adduction
- -internal/external rotation
-
Stratum Fibrosum
- Outer Layer of the Joint Capsule
- -Poorly vascularized, richly innervated w/ joint receptors (not a lot of blood vessels, but many feedback receptors-- tells brain where joints are in relation to space)
-
Stratum Synovium
- Inner layer of the Joint Capsule
- -highly vascularized but poorly innervated
- -Entry point of nutrients into the synovial fluid & exit point for waste products
- -Helps produce synovial fluid
-
Synovial Fluid
- Compound of Hyaluronate & Lubricin
- -Creates fluid viscosity
-
Factors which affect the viscosity of synovial fluid
- Increased speed in the Joint=decreased viscosisty w/ least amout of joint resistance to movement
- Increased temperature=decreased viscosity
-
Joint Lubrication Theories
- -Boundary Lubrication
- -Fluid Lubrication
-
Boundary Lubrication
Each weight bearing surface is coated w/ a thin layer of molecules which keeps the opposing surfaces from toucing each other--lubricin adheres to the artiular surfaes
-
Fluid Lubrication
Articular cartilage releases fluid when hydrosttic pressure increases in weight bearing joints, fluid stops when pressure decreases
-
Arthrokinematics
the study of movement of the joint surfaces (articular surfaces) and their interaction w/ each other
-
3 Definitions of Movement
- -Rolling
- -Sliding
- -Spinning
-
Rolling Movement
- Like a tire rolling on the road
- (ex) knee joint
-
Sliding Movement
- Translation--like gliding one component over another
- (ex) the TMJ joint, knuckles of the hand
-
Spinning Movement
- Like a toy top spinning
- (ex) superior radio-ulnar joint--the head of the radius spins on the capitulum of the humerus
-
Curvilinear Movement
Combination of spinning & rolling
-
MOVEMENT IS DEPENDANT UPON...
SURFACES OF THE JOINT STRUCTURE
-
TWO JOINT SURFACES RESULT IN...
- TWO MOVEMENT PATTERNS
- -Ovoid Joint
- -Sellar Joint
-
Ovoid Joint
- -One surface is concave, the other is convex
- -Articulating surface of th bone moves in opposite direction of the moving bone
- (ex) abduction of shoulder bone (humerus)
-
Sellar Joint
- -Joint surface is convex & concave
- -Articulating surface of the bone moves in the same direction as the moving bone
- (ex) knee joint
-
Osteokinematics
- movement of bones rather than the movement of articulating surfaces (more important clinically)
- **Use ROM when identifying the movement of the bones
-
Range of Motion (ROM)
range which is available to a joint w/in the anatomical limits of the joint
-
Determining factors of anatomical limits
- - shape of the joint surface
- - the joint capsule
- - ligaments
- - muscle bulk
- - surrounding structures
-
-
Hypermobility
Increased/accessive ROM
-
-
Contracture
- Fixed joint=no more functional movement
- --more common w/ flexors/extensors
-
Living Material Used in making Human Joints
- CONNECTIVE TISSUE
- -ligaments, tendons, bursae, cartilage, disks, plates, menisci, fat pads, ect.
-
Connective Tissue
- Composed of
- -Cellular Component & Extracellular Matrix
-
Cellular Component of Connective Tissue
- -Produce/maintain extracellular matrix
- -Antibodies fight infection
-
Extracellular Matrix
- a) Non-Fibrous component/ground substance
- b) Fibrous Component
-
Non-Fibrous component/ ground substance
- -Binds water & provides support
- -Maintains hydration w/in the tissue w/ protiens (glycoprotein/proteoglycans)
**glycoproteins affect extracellular matrix which affects stability
-
Fibrous Component
- Support framework w/
- 1) collagen=strength
- 2) elastin=elasticity
~flexibilty & support
