Joints of the Human Body

What is a joint?

• Location at which two or more bones meet• Allow movement and provide mechanical

support

Page 3: Joints of the Human Body. What is a joint? Location at which two or more bones meet Allow movement and provide mechanical support.

ClassificationStructural Functional

Fibrous :joined by dense connective tissue Little or no movement

Cartilaginous: joined by cartilage Slight movement

Synovial: joined by joint capsule Freely movable

Page 4: Joints of the Human Body. What is a joint? Location at which two or more bones meet Allow movement and provide mechanical support.

Fibrous Joints

• Held together by thin layer of strong connective tissue

• No movement between the bones• Ex: sutures of the skull, teeth in sockets

Page 5: Joints of the Human Body. What is a joint? Location at which two or more bones meet Allow movement and provide mechanical support.

Cartilaginous Joints

• Attached by discs made of cartilage and ligaments

• Allow a limited degree of movement• Ex: vertebrae of spine, pubis joint

Page 6: Joints of the Human Body. What is a joint? Location at which two or more bones meet Allow movement and provide mechanical support.

Synovial Joints

• Freely movable joints• All contain joint capsule (holds together),

synovial cavity, and joint cartilage• Sub-divided into groups depending on type of

movement– Ball-and-Socket Joints– Hinge Joints– Gliding Joints– Pivot Joints

Page 7: Joints of the Human Body. What is a joint? Location at which two or more bones meet Allow movement and provide mechanical support.

Ball-and-Socket Joint

• Ball-shaped bone fits into the cup-like space of another bone

• Allows movement in almost all directions• Ex: shoulder (humerus/glenoid fossa),

hip (femur, acetabulum)

Page 8: Joints of the Human Body. What is a joint? Location at which two or more bones meet Allow movement and provide mechanical support.

Hinge Joint

• Convex part of one bone fits into concave part of another, allowing motion in only one plane

• Ex: elbow, knee

Page 9: Joints of the Human Body. What is a joint? Location at which two or more bones meet Allow movement and provide mechanical support.

Gliding Joints

• Joint surfaces are nearly flat or slightly curved• Allow sliding or back-and forth motions and

twisting movements• Ex: wrist and ankle

Page 10: Joints of the Human Body. What is a joint? Location at which two or more bones meet Allow movement and provide mechanical support.

Pivot Joint

• The end of one bone having a ‘peg’ that fits into a ‘ring’ formed by the other bone

• Movement limited to rotation• Ex: neck rotating side to side,

radius and ulna

Joints. Joints (articulation) Defined: A point of contact between bones, between cartilage and bones, or between teeth and bones. – When two bones articulate.
