    JOINTS

    HOW DO WE
    MOVE?
    J O I N T S
    The Skeleton has many joints.
    A joint is the part of the body
    where two or more bones meet
    to allow movement.
    Joints or articulation is the place
    where two bones come together.
    THREE TYPES OF JOINTS
     IMMOVABLE JOINTS – in this
    joint the bones are in a very close
    contact and are separated only by
    thin layer of fibrous connective
    tissue. Examples can be found in
    the skull and teeth.
    THREE TYPES OF JOINTS
     SLIGHTLY MOVABLE JOINTS – these
    joints are not firmly fixed as are
    immovable joints, but the structure of
    bones and connective tissues
    (cartilaginous joints) in and around
    the joints restricts the range of motion
    to only a few degrees. Examples are in
    the spine, sacrum and front and back
    attachment of the ribs
    THREE TYPES OF JOINTS
     FREE MOVABLE JOINTS –
    these joints (Synovial
    joints) have a
    comparatively large of
    movements and are of
    prime importance in motor
    performances.
    (1) Gliding joints move against each other on a single
    plane. Major gliding joints include the bones of the wrists
    and ankles.
    (2) Hinge joints move on just one axis. These joints allow
    for flexion and extension. Major hinge joints include the
    elbow and finger joints.
    (3) A pivot joint provides rotation. At the top of the
    spine, the atlas and axis form a pivot joint that allows for
    rotation of the head.
    (4) A condyloid joint allows for circular motion, flexion,
    and extension. The carpal bones is an example of a
    condyloid joint.
    (5) A saddle joint allows for flexion, extension, and other
    movements, but no rotation. In the hand, the thumb’s
    saddle joint (between the first metacarpal and the
    trapezium) lets the thumb cross over the palm, making it
    opposable.
    (6) The ball-and-socket joint is a freely moving joint that
    can rotate on any axis. The hip and shoulder joints are
    examples of ball and socket joints.
