What are joints/articulation?
A joint or articulation is the place where two or more bones come together.
Job of the joints?
to hold the skeleton together and allow mobility.
The 3 classifications of joints
(what they're made of)
fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial.
Fibrous joints functions
Synarthrosis (immovable)
Does NOT allow movement
Example of a fibrous joint
Skull
Cartilaginous joints functions
Amphiarthrosis (slightly movable)
allos for SOME movement, very little
2 Examples of a cartilaginous joint
intervertebral discs (between the vertebrae in the spine)
Symphysis pubis (joint located between the left and right pubic bones at the front of the pelvis)
allows for limited movement
2 Examples of synovial joints
the shoulder and hips
4 Structures of a synovial joint
Articular cartilage - end of long bones. covered in thin layer of hyaline cartilage
Synovial (joint Cavity) - filled with synovial fluid.
(synovial membrane secretes synovial fluid)
Articular Capsule- the joint is enclosed by a protective, fibrous structure called the articular capsule, which forms a joint cavity.
Reinforcing ligaments - Ligaments that support the joints by holding bone to bone and resisting excess or abnormal joint movements
definition of Articular cartilage
(structure in synovial joint movement)
end of long bones, covered in thin layer of hyaline cartilage.
(reduces friction and allows for smooth movement of the joint)
definition of Synovial (joint) cavity)
(structure in synovial joint movement)
cavity filled with synovial fluid.
(synovial membrane secretes synovial fluid)
What secretes synovial fluid?
the synovial membrane
definition of Articular capsule
(structure in synovial joint movement)
the joint is enclosed by a protective, fibrous structure called the articular capsule, which forms a joint cavity.
JOB - a double-layered structure that surrounds and encloses a synovial joint, providing stability and flexibility )
definition of Reinforcing ligaments
(structure in synovial joint movement)
are Ligaments that support the joints by holding bone to bone and resisting excess or abnormal joint movements.
3 factors that can influence joint stability
Articular surfaces - Joints with deeper sockets, like the hip, are more stable because they securely hold the bone in place.
Ligaments- More ligaments provide more stability.
Muscle tone- Strong muscle tone makes joint more stable
Whats a ligament and where are they?
a tough, fibrous connective tissue that connects bones to other bones at a joint, providing stability.
on the outside of bones
3 jobs of the ligament
restricts undesirable movements
offers support & stability
but IS susceptible to injury
2 shapes/examples of articulating surfaces (2 sockets)
Deep socket and Shallow socket
what does “articulating surfaces” mean?
& two examples?
where bones come into contact and interact with each other at a joint.
These surfaces are often covered with cartilage
EX- deep + shallow sockets
Job of deep socket
Provides more stability and less mobility.
(ex- hip joint (acetabulum)a + femoral head)
Highly stable
job of shallow socket
Allows greater mobility but less stability.
(ex- shoulder joint (glenoid cavity), + humeral head)
highly unstable
3 Friction reducing structures within joints
bursa
tendon sheath
meniscus
Bursa definition/job
(a friction reducing structure within joints)
Sac filled with synovial fluid that prevents friction between muscle, or tendon and underlying bone.
What’s a bursa?
Sac filled with synovial fluid that prevents friction between muscle, or tendon and underlying bone.
Tendon sheath definition/job
(a friction reducing structure within joints)
An elongated bursa that wraps around tendon.
decreases friction.
Meniscus definition/job
(a friction reducing structure within joints)
a C shaped cartilage between two bones.
two types - lateral and medial meniscus
the 2 types of “meniscus” and where can you find them?
lateral and medial meniscus
in the knee joint
3 structures of knee joint (ligaments)
Tibial & Fibular collateral
Anterior & posterior cruciate ligaments
Medial & lateral menisci
Tibial & Fibular collateral ligaments location
located on the sides of the knee outside of the articular capsule
Anterior & posterior cruciate ligaments location
found inside the capsule, in the front and back of knee.
(ex- ACL, most common injury of ligament in knee, takes long time to heal)
Medial & lateral menisci ligaments location
C shaped ligaments that provide padding and support between the femoral condyles and tibial condyles.
(right and left side of knee, inside articular cartilage)
Most common ligament in the knee that is torn?
the AnterioR cruciate ligament ( ACL )
which joint is the largest joint of the body?
the knee joint
4 types of synovial joints?
pivot joints (doesn’t move, allows for rotation around its axis)
hinge joints ( ex - door hinge, angular movement)
planar joints (gliding movement ← →)
ball and socket (360 movement)
Pivot joints job/definition & 2 examples
let bones rotate around a central point (axis).
2 examples (remember) -
the atlantoaxial joint is where the C1 vertebra (atlas) and C2 vertebra (axis) meet. This joint lets your head rotate side-to-side (like shaking your head "no").
The radius (forearm bone) rotates around the ulna (another forearm bone), allowing your wrist and forearm to rotate

5 structures in the anatomy of long bone
- Epiphysis (spongy bone): end of long bone
- Diaphysis (compact bone): middle segment of bone

3 Structure of compact bone:
- Osteon: basic unit of compact bone. there's a canal in between each osteon.
- Bone lamellae: basic structure of compact bone. concentric rings/layers of collagen fibers and bone matrix .
- Central canals and Perforating canals: contain blood vessels and nerves
4 Structures of an Osteon:
(all in the osteon)- osteocyte, lacuna, lamellae, & canaliculi
Each osteocytes sit inside hollow spaces called lacuna.
Very thin hair-like canals called canaliculi radiate from each lacuna and allow osteocytes to communicate.
They eventually connect to the central canals

What is bone ossification?
the process by which bone tissue is formed
- either by replacing cartilage or developing directly from connective tissue.
What is intramembranous ossification?
-Bone develops from mesenchyme (embryonic connective tissue)
-Forms flat bones (skull, clavicles) which are mainly spongy bone.
-Multiple ossification centers fuse
what's mesenchyme (embryonic connective tissue)?
the tissue found in embryos that develops into different types of connective tissue in the body, including bone, cartilage, and blood.
what does embryos have to do with bone ossification?
Embryos are where bone ossification begins.
-During early development, the bone starts forming from embryonic connective tissue (mesenchyme) or cartilage, leading to the creation of the skeletal structure.
