Introduction to the structural and functional classification of joints.

1. Classification of Articulations By Sadie Gordon & Bob

3. Classification of joints Functionally Fibrous Dense Regular Connective Tissue Cartilaginous Cartilage Synovial Fluid Filled Joint Cavity Structurally Synarthrosis Immobile Amphiarthrosis Slightly Movable Joint Diarthrosis Freely Mobile Joint

4. Functional Classification Synarthrosis An Immobile Joint Amphiarthrosis Slightly Mobile Joint Diarthrosis Freely Mobile Joint

5. Structural Classification Fibrous Dense irregular connective tissue that holds bone to bones No joint cavity Cartilaginous Pad of cartilage wedged between bones No Joint cavity Synovial Ends of bones are covered with cartilage Joint capsule is lined with synovial fluid All synovial joints are freely moveable (diarthrotic)

7. Fibrous Joints Gomphosis Suture Syndesmosis

9. Example tooth in the JawFunctionally classified as Synarthrosis (immobile)

11. Example: Lambdoid Suture

13. Types of Cartilaginous Joints Synchondrosis Symphysis

15. Examples: Epiphyseal plates, and Costochondral joints

18. Examples: Pubic symphysis, and intervertebral disc

19. Functional classified as Amphiarthrosis

20. Synovial Uniaxial Plane joint Hinge Joint Pivot joint Biaxial Condylar joint Saddle joint Multiaxial Ball-and-socket joint

25. Conclusion Structural Fibrous Gomphosis Suture Syndesmosis Cartilaginous Synchondrosis Symphysis Synovial Uniaxial Plane Joint Hinge Joint Pivot Joint Biaxial Condylar Joint Saddle Joint Mulitiaxial Ball-and-Socket Joint Functional Synarthrosis Immobile Amphiarthrosis Slightly Mobile Diarthrosis Freely Mobile
