Introduction:- 
 A joint, also called articulation is a point of 
contact. 
 Arthrology:-It is the scientific study of joints. 
 Kinesiology:-It is the study of the motion of 
the human body.
Definition:- 
“It is the site at which any two 
or more bone articulated is 
called Joint”
Classification/Type:- 
1.Fibrous or fixed joints (Immovable) 
2.Cartilaginous or Slightly moveable joints 
3.Synovial or Freely moveable joints
 1.Fibrous or fixed joints 
(Immovable) 
 These joints are held together by tough 
tissue which develops during childhood. 
 Examples ,Cranium. 
 2.Cartilaginous or Slightly moveable 
joints 
 Here, movement is needed but only to a 
certain point e.g the vertebral column, 
Symphysis pubis 
 3.Synovial or Freely moveable joints 
 These joints are allow movement to take 
place.
Synovial or Freely moveable joints:-
• This lubricates the joint, like oil 
in a working engine. It enables all 
parts of the joint to move against 
each other smoothly. 
• This is inside the synovial (joint) 
capsule which holds the fluid in 
place. 
• The synovial membrane lies 
inside the capsule where the fluid 
is produced.
Types of Synovial Joints:- 
 Freely Moveable (Synovial) joints 
can be divided into six groups 
depending upon the way they 
move. 
Types:- 
1. Ball and 
Socket Joint 
2. Hinge Joint 
3. Pivot Joint 
4. Gliding Joint 
5. Saddle Joint 
6. Condyloid 
Joint
Characteristics of Synovial joint:- 
 Articular cartilage/Hyaline cartilage:-The part 
of bone are covered with cartilage 
.It provides a smooth articular surface 
 Capsule & capsular ligament. 
.The joint is surrounded & enclosed by a 
sleeve of fibrous tissue which hold the bone 
together. 
.It is sufficient loose to allow freedom of 
movement but strong enough to protect it 
from injury
 Synovial membrane:- 
.This is composed of epithilial cell & is 
found—Lining the capsule 
.Covering those part of the bone with in the 
joint 
.Covering all intra-cpsular structure that do 
not bear weight. 
 Synovial fluid:-This is the thick stiky fluid of 
egg-white consistency secrted by synovial 
membrane in to synovial cavity & its function 
are-
Function of S.F. Is:- 
1) Provides nutrients for the structure with in 
the joint cavity. 
2) Contain phagocytes which remove 
microbes 
3) Act as a lubricant 
4) Maintain joint stability.
 Is allows the greatest range 
of movement 
 In this type of joint, head of 
bone is fits into a socket of 
another bone. 
 Held together by ligaments 
and tendons 
 Eg. Shoulder and hip 
joints 
Two main Ball and Socket Joints: 
Shoulder and hip joints 
Ball and socket 
Ball and Socket joint
 Is allow flexion and extension 
with only a small amount of 
rotation. 
 Eg. Elbow,knee,ankle,finger,toes 
Examples of Hinge Joints: 
Elbow and Knee Joints
 Is allow only rotation. 
 Eg. Proximal & distal radio 
ulner joint
 In this joint the articular surface of bone it looks 
flat & move on the another bone in sliping 
movement. 
 Eg Sternoclavicular joint & Joint b/w carpal & tarsal 
bone
 The saddle joints allow 
the movement of the 
joint forward and 
backwards, and right 
to left. 
 Eg. Wrist joint
 This is allows for 
movement in all 
directions, however full 
rotations. 
 Eg. Wrist joint, 
Metacarpophalangeal joint, 
Metatarsal phalangeal joint
