Transcript of Major types of joints : held together by (example) : Examples (how much movement?)
Major types of joints: held together by (example): Examples (how much movement?) 1. Fibrous joints – connective tissue fibers a. Sutures – between pairs of flat bones of the skull (immovable joints); short fibers b. Syndesmosis – between distal ends of the tibia and fibula (immovable to limited movement); longer fibers 2. Cartilaginous joints – hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage a. Symphysis – between vertebrae; between pubic bones
(limited movement); fibrocartilage b. Synchondrosis – first rib and sternum; upper rib cage (immovable joints); hyaline cartilage 3. Synovial joints – hyaline/articular cartilage a. Knee joint b. Shoulder joint c. Hip joint d. Elbow joint
(allow free movement)
The following panels show more specific examples of synovial jointsSee the lecture text for more examples.
(Shoulder joint)
Condyloid joint
(carpal bone)
(Between wrist bones and radius)
Another example: between metacarpals and phalanges – see lecture text
(knuckle joints)
(Between clavicle and sternum)Another example: between second rib and sternum – see lecture text
Second rib
(Elbow joint)
(Between 1st and 2nd cervical vertebrae)
Another example: between the head of the radius and humerus – see text)
(C1)
(C2)
(Between one of the wrist bones and the metacarpal thumb bone)
