Weakest parts of the skeletonWeakest parts of the skeleton
Articulation – site where two or more Articulation – site where two or more bones meetbones meet
Functions of jointsFunctions of joints Give the skeleton mobilityGive the skeleton mobility Hold the skeleton togetherHold the skeleton together
Classification of Joints: Classification of Joints: StructuralStructural
Structural classification Structural classification focuses on the material between bones focuses on the material between bones Whether or not a joint cavity is presentWhether or not a joint cavity is present
The three structural classifications are:The three structural classifications are: FibrousFibrous Cartilaginous Cartilaginous Synovial Synovial
Classification of Joints: Classification of Joints: FunctionalFunctional
Functional classification is based on Functional classification is based on the amount of movement allowed by the amount of movement allowed by the jointthe joint
The three functional classes of joints The three functional classes of joints are:are: Synarthroses – immovable Synarthroses – immovable Amphiarthroses – slightly movable Amphiarthroses – slightly movable Diarthroses – freely movableDiarthroses – freely movable
Fibrous Structural JointsFibrous Structural Joints
The bones are joined by fibrous The bones are joined by fibrous tissuestissues

Synovial JointsSynovial Joints
Those joints in which the articulating Those joints in which the articulating bones are separated by a fluid-bones are separated by a fluid-containing joint cavitycontaining joint cavity

Range of MotionRange of Motion
Nonaxial – slipping movements onlyNonaxial – slipping movements only
Uniaxial – movement in one planeUniaxial – movement in one plane
Biaxial – movement in two planesBiaxial – movement in two planes
Multiaxial – movement in or around Multiaxial – movement in or around all three planesall three planes
StabilityStability Determined by:Determined by:
Articular surfaces Articular surfaces shape determines what movements are possibleshape determines what movements are possible
LigamentsLigaments unite bones and prevent excessive or unite bones and prevent excessive or
undesirable motionundesirable motion Muscle tone is accomplished by:Muscle tone is accomplished by:

Gliding MovementsGliding Movements
One flat bone surface glides or slips One flat bone surface glides or slips over another similar surfaceover another similar surface
Examples – intercarpal and Examples – intercarpal and intertarsal joints, and between the intertarsal joints, and between the flat articular processes of the flat articular processes of the vertebraevertebrae
