Movements of Key Joint

This document discusses the anatomy and types of joints in the human body. It begins by defining a joint as the point where two or more bones connect. The main parts that form joints are bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons and muscles. There are several types of bones and several types of joints, including fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joints. Synovial joints are further classified as hinge, pivot, ball-and-socket, saddle, condyloid and gliding joints. Specific examples of each type of joint are provided. Diagrams of the neck, shoulder, knee, hip and ankle joints are also included.

Joint
 The point at which two or more bones are
connected is called a joint.
 Bones, cartilage, muscle, ligaments, and
tendons are involved in joint formation.
Parts of joint
 Bones : Strongest part, form skeletal of body, lever for
locomotion
 Cartilage: cover surface of bone which is involved in
formation of joint
 Ligaments : it is strong elastic band of tissue connect one
bone to other bone
 Tendons : Muscles are connected to the bone with the help
of tough cord of tissue called tendon
 Muscle: give support & strength to joint. Flexion &
extension of joints occurs due to contraction of muscle.
Types of Bone
 Long Bones : e. g. femur
 Short Bones : e. g. carpal, tarsal
 Flat Bones : e. g. Scapula, Skull bones
 Irregular Bones : e.g vertebrae
 Sesamoid Bones : e.g. Patella
Types of joints
 Fibrous joint (Immovable) : Joint only with ligament. E.g
Skull
 Cartilaginous joint (Semi movable) : Joint with cartilage
E. g. Spinal joints
 Synovial joint (Freely Movable) : Have Synovial capsule,
membrane, fluid E. g. Knee joint
Types of Synovial joint
1. Hinge joint : Flexion & Extension: E. g. Elbow & Knee
Types of Synovial joint
1. Pivot joint : Rotation of bone around another bone : E.
g. top of neck (atlas & axis bone)
Types of Synovial joint
 Ball & socket joint: Flexion/Extension/Adduction/
Abduction/Internal & External Rotation :
E. g. Shoulder & Hip
Types of Synovial joint
 Saddle joint: Flexion/Extension/Adduction/
Abduction/Circumduction : CMC joint of the thumb
Types of Synovial joint
 Condyloid : E. g. Wrist/MCP & MTP joints
Types of Synovial joint
 Gliding : Gliding movements : E. g Intercarpal joints
Neck Joint
Shoulder Joint
Knee Joint
Hip Joint
Ankle Joint
