Specific articulations of the human body

1. ARTICULATIONS

2. ARTICULATIONS?
 Also known as joints
 Created between:
bones
bone and cartilage
bones and teeth

3. 3 MAIN STRUCTURAL CATEGORIES
 FIBROUS JOINTS
 CARTILAGINOUS JOINTS
 SYNOVIAL JOINTS

4. FUNCTIONALLY 3 CATEGORIES
 SYNARTHROSIS
 (immobile)
 AMPHIARTHROSIS
 (slightly movable)
 DIARTHROSIS
 (freely movable)

5. FIBROUS JOINTS
 GOMPHOSIS (tooth to jaw)
 SUTURE (cranial sutures)
 SYNDESMOSIS (between radius and ulna)

6. Cartilaginous joints
 SYNCHONDROSIS (epiphyseal/growth plates)
 SYMPHYSIS (pubic symphysis)

7. SYNOVIAL
 UNIAXIAL
 (one plane, i.e elbow joints)
 BIAXIAL
 (two planes, MP joints)
 MULTIAXIAL
 ( multiple planes, glenohumeral joint)
