Anatomy 1.08

what type of joint are fibrous joints

extremely limited movement

what type of joints are cartilaginous joints

extremely moveable joints

fibrous joint capsule lined by synovial membrane with synovial fluid. Articular lined with hyaline cartilage

(usually uniaxial) permit gliding or sliding movements

(uniaxial) permit flexion and extension only

(biaxial) saddle shaped heads permit flexion and extension, abduction, adduction, and circumduction

(multiaxial) a rounded head fits into a concavity, permitting movement on several axes

(uniaxial) a rounded procewss of bone fits into a bony ligamentous socket, permitting rotation

what is an example of a pivot joint

what is an example of a ball and socket joint

what is an example of a condyloid joint

what is an example of a saddle joint

what is an example of a hinge joint

what is an example of a plane joint

relatively weak plane joint with limited mobility. some rotation of the acromion process occurs here accompanying scapular movements

mobile saddle joint surrounded by stron ligaments, All scapular motion is accompanied by movement of this joint

extremely mobile and relatively weak. Motion at this joint is often accompanied by motion at the sternoclavicular and acromioclavicular joints

how would you categorize your knee joint

what is the structure of synovial joints

what are bony articular surfaces covered by

- creating synovial cavity, filled with synovial fluid (slimy, slick, viscous fluid)
- continuous with hyaline cartilage and liunes the articular capsule

- fibrous outer covering of a joint
- can be formed with ligaments or tendons

synovial joints may also have
