Joints & Joint Movements
Human Anatomy
Sonya Schuh-Huerta, Ph.D.
Joints
• Rigid elements of the skeleton meet at
joints or articulations
• Greek root “arthro” means joint
• Structure of joints
– Enables resistance to
crushing, tearing, &
other forces
Classifications of Joints
• Joints can be classified by function or
structure
• Functional classification  based on
amount of movement
– Synarthroses  immovable; common in
axial skeleton
– Amphiarthroses  slightly movable;
common in axial skeleton
– Diarthroses  freely movable; common in
appendicular skeleton (all synovial joints)
Classifications of Joints
• Structural classification based on
– Material that binds bones together
– Presence or absence of a joint cavity
– Structural classifications include:
• Fibrous
• Cartilaginous
• Synovial
Classifications of Joints
Sutures – A Type of Fibrous Joint
• Bones are tightly bound by a minimal
amount of fibrous tissue
• Only occur between the bones of the skull
• Allow bone growth so the skull can expand
with brain during childhood
• Fibrous tissue ossifies in middle age
– Synostoses = closed sutures
Syndesmoses – A Type of Fibrous Joint
• Bones are connected exclusively by
ligaments
• Amount of movement depends on length
of fibers
– Tibiofibular joint = immovable synarthrosis
– Interosseous membrane between radius &
ulna = freely movable diarthrosis
Gomphoses – A Type of Fibrous Joint
• Tooth in a socket
• Connecting ligament  the periodontal
ligament
Fibrous Joints
(a) Suture
(b) Syndesmosis
(c) Gomphosis
Joint held together with very
short, interconnecting fibers,
and bone edges interlock.
Found only in the skull.
Joint held together by a
ligament. Fibrous tissue can
vary in length but is longer
than in sutures.
Peg-in-socket fibrous joint.
Periodontal ligament holds
tooth in socket.

Cartilaginous Joints
• Bones are united by cartilage
• Lack a joint cavity
• 2 types
– Synchondroses
– Symphyses
Synchondroses
• Hyaline cartilage unites bones
– Epiphyseal plates
– Joint between first rib & manubrium
(a) Synchondroses
Bones united by hyaline cartilage
Sternum
(manubrium)
Epiphyseal
plate (temporary

joint)

sternum
(immovable)
Symphyses
• Fibrocartilage unites bones; resists
tension & compression
• Slightly movable joints that provide
strength with flexibility
– Intervertebral discs
– Pubic symphysis
• Hyaline cartilage  present as articular
cartilage

Synovial Joints
• Most movable type of joint!!!
• All are diarthroses  what does that mean?
• Each contains a fluid-filled joint cavity
General Structure of Synovial
Joints
• Articular cartilage
– Ends of opposing bones are covered with
hyaline cartilage
– Absorbs compression
• Joint cavity (= synovial cavity)
– Unique to synovial joints
– Cavity is a potential space that holds a small
amount of synovial fluid
General Structure of Synovial
Joints
• Articular capsule  joint cavity is
enclosed in a 2-layered capsule
– Fibrous capsule  dense irregular
connective tissue, which strengthens joint
– Synovial membrane  loose connective
tissue
• Lines joint capsule & covers internal joint surfaces
• Makes synovial fluid
General Structure of Synovial
Joints
• Synovial fluid
– A viscous fluid similar to raw egg white
• A filtrate of blood
– Arises from capillaries in synovial membrane
• Contains glycoprotein molecules secreted by
fibroblasts
General Structure of Synovial
Joints
• Reinforcing ligaments
– Often are thickened parts of the fibrous
capsule
– Sometimes are extracapsular ligaments 
located outside the capsule
– Sometimes are intracapsular ligaments 
located internal to the capsule

General Structure of Synovial
Joints
• Richly supplied with sensory nerves
– Detect pain
– Most monitor how much the capsule is being
stretched
General Structure of Synovial
Joints
• Have a rich blood supply
– Most supply the synovial membrane
– Extensive capillary beds produce basis of
synovial fluid
– Branches of several major nerves & blood
vessels
Synovial Joints with Articular
Discs
• Some synovial joints contain an articular
disc
– Temporomandibular joint & Knee joint
– Occur in joints whose articulating bones have
somewhat different shapes
How Synovial Joints Function
• Synovial joints  lubricating devices
• Friction could overheat & destroy joint
tissue & bone ends
• Are subjected to compressive forces
• Fluid is squeezed out as opposing cartilages touch
• Cartilages ride on the slippery film
Bursae & Tendon Sheaths
• Bursae & tendon sheaths are not
synovial joints
– Closed bags of lubricant
– Reduce friction between body elements
• Bursa = a flattened fibrous sac lined by a
synovial membrane
• Tendon sheath = an elongated bursa that
wraps around a tendon

Movements Allowed by Synovial
Joints
• 3 basic types of movement
– Gliding  one bone across the surface of
another
– Angular movement  movements change
the angle between bones
– Rotation  movement around a bone's long
axis
Gliding Joints
• Flat surfaces of two bones slip across
each other
• Gliding occurs
between:
– Carpals
– Articular
processes
of vertebrae
– Tarsals
Gliding
(a) Gliding movements at the wrist
Angular Movements
• Increase or decrease angle between
bones

Factors Influencing Stability of
Synovial Joints
• Articular surfaces
– Shapes of articulating surfaces determine
movements possible
Factors Influencing Stability of
Synovial Joints
• Ligaments
– Capsules & ligaments prevent excessive
motions
– On the medial or inferior side of a joint 
prevent excessive abduction
– Lateral or superiorly located  resist
adduction
Factors Influencing Stability of
Synovial Joints
• Ligaments (cont…)
– Anterior ligaments  resist extension & lateral
rotation
– Posterior ligaments resist flexion & medial
rotation
• The more ligaments  usually the
stronger & more stable
Factors Influencing Stability of
Synovial Joints
• Muscle tone
– Helps stabilize joints by
keeping tension on tendons
– Is important in reinforcing:
• Shoulder & knee joints
• Supporting joints in arches of the foot
Selected Joints
Selected Synovial Joints
• Temporomandibular Joint
– Is a modified hinge joint

Disorders of Joints
• Structure of joints makes them prone to
traumatic stress
• Function of joints makes them subject to
friction and wear & tear
• Affected by inflammatory & degenerative
processes
Joint Injuries
• Torn cartilage  common injury to
meniscus of knee joint
• Sprains  ligaments of a reinforcing joint
are stretched or torn
• Dislocation  occurs when the bones of
a joint are forced out of alignment
Inflammatory & Degenerative
Conditions
• Bursitis  inflammation of a bursa due to
injury or friction
• Tendonitis  inflammation
of a tendon sheath
Swollen bursa
surrounding
the knee
Inflammatory & Degenerative
Conditions
• Arthritis  describes over 100 kinds of jointdamaging diseases
– Osteoarthritis  most common type of “wear
& tear” arthritis
– Rheumatoid arthritis  a chronic
inflammatory disorder
– Gouty arthritis (gout)  uric acid build-up
causes pain in joints
• Lyme disease  inflammatory disease often
resulting in joint pain
The Joints Throughout Life
• Synovial joints develop from mesenchyme
• By week 8 of fetal development, joints
resemble adult joints
– Outer region of mesenchyme becomes fibrous
joint capsule
– Inner region becomes the joint cavity
The Joints Throughout Life
• During youth  injury may tear an epiphysis off
a bone shaft; breaks near joints; dislocations
• Advancing age  osteoarthritis becomes more
common
• Exercise  helps maintain
joint health!
Keeping Your Joints Healthy
• Exercise is key –
strengthens the muscles around
the joints & stabilizes them;
decreases injuries, joint disorders,
wear-&-tear, etc.
• Also good: proper nutrition,
hydration, & vitamins/
supplements (glucosamine a good one)
