Gomphoses
Cartilaginous Joints
Unite two bones by means of cartilage
Types
Synchondroses: hyaline cartilage

Synchondroses
Sternocostal
joint
8-13
Manubriosternal
Intervertebral
Sympheses
Xiphisternal
Symphysis pubis
Synovial Joints
Contain synovial fluid
Allow considerable movement
Most joints that unite bones of
appendicular skeleton reflecting greater
mobility of appendicular skeleton
compared to axial
Complex
8-15
Synovial Joints
Articular cartilage: hyaline; provides smooth surface
Joint cavity: synovial; encloses articular surfaces
Capsule
Fibrous capsule: dense irregular connective tissue, continuous with fibrous
layer of the periosteum. Portions may thicken to form ligaments.
Synovial membrane and fluid: membrane lines inside of joint capsule
except at actual articulation of articular cartilages. Thin, delicate. Sometimes
separated from fibrous capsule by areolar C.T. and fat, sometimes merged
with fibrous.
Synovial Joints
8-17
Accessory Structures
Bursae
Pockets of synovial membrane and fluid that extend
from the joint. Found in areas of friction
Bursitis
8-19
8-20
Saddle joints
Biaxial
Example: thumb
(carpometacarpal pollicis),
intercarpal, sternoclavicular
8-21
Pivot joints
Uniaxial. Rotation around a
single axis.
Cylindrical bony process
rotating within a circle of
bone and ligament
Example: articulation
between dens of axis and
atlas (atlantoaxial),
proximal radioulnar, distal
radioulnar 8-22
Ellipsoid (Condyloid)
Modified ball-and-socket;
articular surfaces are
ellipsoid
Biaxial
Example: atlantooccipital,
8-23
Circular
Rotation
Pronation and Supination
Circumduction
8-24
8-26
8-27
Abduction: movement
away from the median
plane
Adduction: movement
toward the median plane
8-28
Circular Movements
Rotation: turning of a
structure on its long axis
Examples: rotation of the
head, humerus, entire body
Medial and lateral rotation;
example, the rotation of the
arm
Pronation/Supination:
refer to unique rotation of
the forearm
Pronation: palm faces
posteriorly
Supination: palm faces
anteriorly
8-29
Circular Movement
Circumduction
Combination of flexion,
extension, abduction,
adduction
Appendage describes a
cone
8-30
Special Movements
Unique to only one or two joints
Types
Elevation and Depression
Protraction and Retraction
Excursion
Opposition and Reposition
Inversion and Eversion
8-31

Excursion
Lateral: moving mandible to the right or left of midline

Hip Region
Knee Joint
Condyloid: allowing flexion/extension, small amount of rotation
Menisci: fibrocartilage articular disks that build up the margins of
the tibia and deepen articular surface
Cruciate ligaments: extend between intercondylar eminence of
tibia and fossa of the femur
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Prevents anterior displacement of
tibia
Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). Prevents posterior displacement of
tibia
