2.6 Synovial Joints

Features of a Synovial Joint

  • Synovial Joints

    • are freely movable joints

  • Hyaline Cartilage

    • provides smooth frictionless surface

  • Joint Capsule

    • dense irregular collagenous connective tissue

    • lined with connective and epithelial tissue called synovial membrane

    Synovial Fluid

    • fills the joint cavity

    • reduces friction

    • exchanges oxygen nutrients, and waters with the cells of articular cartilage

Knee joint

Dense irregular collagenous connective tissue

Shoulder Joint

Dense regular collagenous connective tissue

Ligaments: the bones on a synovial joints are held together by ligaments

  • Extrinsic ligaments: are external to the joint capsule

  • Intrinsic ligaments: are embedded inside the joint capsule

Tendons: Synvovial joints typically are surrounded by tendons

Bursa: Fluid-filled sacs located between tendons and joints

Range Of Motion of Synovial Joints

  • Nonaxial Joints: A nonaxial joint is a type of joint where the bones can slide past each other but do not spin. An example of this is where a rib connects to the bone in your back

    Nonaxial Joint
  • Unaxial Joint: Uniaxial joints are like door hinges that only move in one direction, back and forth. The elbow is a great example; it can bend and straighten but not twist.

    Unaxial Joint
  • Biaxial Joint: Biaxial joints are like your fingers. They can move in two directions, like bending up and down, and moving side to side. This is why you can wave your finger and move it back and forth.

    Biaxial Joint
  • Multiaxial Joint: Multiaxial joints are like the shoulder and hip joints. They can move in many directions, like a ball rolling in a cup. This means you can raise your arms, spin them around, and move your legs in lots of different ways.

    Multiaxial Joint

Structural Classification of Synovial Joint

  • Plane Joint

    • The ends of the bones that connect at a joint are flat or a little curved. This shape helps the bones slide easily against each other, which is why they're called gliding joints.

    • Plane Joint (intercarpal joint)
  • Condylar Joint

    • A condylar joint is when one bone has a round bump that fits into a round dip on another bone. It's like a ball rolling in a bowl! This shape helps the bones move smoothly together.

    • Condyloid Joint (metacarpophalangeal joint)
  • Saddle Joint

    • Saddle joints are special types of joints in our body. They have two bones that fit together like a saddle on a horse. One side of the saddle is curved in (like the front and back of a saddle) and the other side is curved out (like the sides of a saddle). This helps the bones move in different directions.

    • Saddle Joint (thumb carpometacarpal joint)

  • Hinge Joint

    • A hinge joint is like a door hinge. One part of the bone sticks out a bit, and the other part dips in, just like how a door opens and closes. Good examples of hinge joints are our elbow and knee. They can bend just like how a door can swing open and shut.

    • Hinge Joint (elbow joint)
  • Pivot Joint

    • A pivot joint is a special kind of joint in our body where one bone can spin around another bone. It works like a door that swings open. This type of joint helps with movements like turning your head or your arm. Two examples of pivot joints are the one near your elbow and the one in your neck that helps you shake your head no.

    • Piviot Joint (proximal radioulnar joint)
  • Ball and Socket Joint

    • A ball and socket joint is like a ball fitting into a cup. This special type of joint is found in your shoulder and hip, letting you move your arms and legs in many directions, just like a ball can roll around in a cup.

    • Ball and socket joint (shoulder joint)

2.7 Knee Joint

  • The knee joint is a modified hinge joint

  • Cruciate Ligaments

    • controls front and back movement of knee joints

  • Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)

    • prevents hyperextension of the knee

  • Posterior Cruciate ligament (PCL)

    • Stops tibia bone from sliding backwards on the femur bone

  • Collateral Ligaments

    • Controls side to side movement of the knee joint

  • Medial collateral ligament (MCL)

    • Resists stresses that pull the tibia bone laterally on the femur bone

  • Lateral collateral ligament (LCL)

    • Resists stresses that pull the tibia bone medially on the femur bone

  • 3 Bursae in the knee

    • Suprapatellar bursae

    • deep infrapatellar burase

    • subcutaneous bursae

2.8 Shoulder Joint

  • The shoulder joint is a multiaxial and ball and socket joint

  • Glenoid Labrum

    • Fibrocartilaginous ring along the rim of the glenoid cavity

  • 3 Glenohumeral ligaments

    • reinforces the anterior joint capsule

  • Coracohumeral ligament

    • located in the anterior articular capsule between the greater tubercle and coracoid process

  • Coracoacromial ligament

    • Located between the coracoid process and acromion

  • Transverse Humeral Ligament

    • extends between the greater and lesser tubercles, and forms a tunnel that houses one of the tendons of the biceps brachii muscle

  • Biceps Brachii Tendon

    • found in the anterior arm, this tendons passes through the articular capsule of the shoulder joint

  • Rotator Cuff

    • group of 4 muscles and tendons - the 3 posterior muscles

    • supraspinatus (back)

    • infraspinatus (back)

    • teres minor muscles (back)

    • subscapularis muscle (front)

  • Bursae

    • 2 that help reduce friction in the joint

  • Subacromial bursa

    • largest bursae, located below the acromion

  • Subscapular bursa

3.1 Muscle Tissue Histology

  • Myology

    • Study of the muscular system

  • Actin and Myosin

    • two proteins that help muscles contract

  • Three types of muscle tissues

    • Skeletal (long - voluntary)

    • Cardiac (small - involuntary)

    • Smooth (spindle shaped - involuntary)

  • Striated

    • overlap of two proteins (actin and myosin)

  • Non-striated

    • two proteins not overlapping

  • Gap Junctions

    • communication between cells/fibers

  • Smooth Muscle Tissue: non-striated and involuntary

  • Edomysium - Where muscle fibers are contained

  • Perimysium - What separates each fasicle

  • Fasicle - contains groups of muscle fibers

  • Sarcomere

    • Smallest functional unit of a skeltal muscle tissue

  • Mnemonic: ZIMAH

    • Z disc to z disc forms a sarcomere. One way to remember Z discs are their resemblance of the letter Z.

    • I bands are the lighter sections on each end of a sarcomere.

    • M line is the midline in a sarcomere.

    • A band is the darker section in the center of a sarcomere.

      • H zone the lighter region in the middle of the A band.
