1. Prof. Laila M. Aboul Mahasen Morsy
Anatomy Department, Faculty of Medicine ,
Al-Azhar University & King Abdulaziz University
2. ARTICULAR SYSTEM
A Joint is the site of meeting of 2 or more bones
Classification of Joints
Joints are classified into 3 types (depending on the binding tissue
between the articular bones :
1. Fibrous: bones are held together by fibrous tissue, as in:
•Sutures
•Gomphosis
•Syndesmosis
2. Cartilaginous: bone are held together by cartilage, they may be :
Primary cartilaginous joints (Synchondrosis)
Secondary cartilaginous joints (Symphysis)
3. Synovial: freely mobile joints in which the articulating bones are
separated by a joint cavity which contains synovial fluid
Prof. Laila M. Aboul Mahasen
3. Classification of Joints
According to the Tissue That Binds Bones Together
Fibrous
joints
Synovial
joints
Cartilaginous
joints
Prof. Laila M. Aboul Mahasen
4. FIBROUS JOINTS
•The articular surfaces are held together by fibrous connective tissue
•These joints are capable for little or no movements
Types of fibrous joints
Sutures Syndesmosis Gomphosis
e.g. Sutures of the skull e.g. Inferior tibiofibular joint e.g. Between teeth &jaw
Prof. Laila M. Aboul Mahasen
5. 1. SUTURES
• These are found between the skull bones
• They do not allow movement
• These joints ossify with age
Prof. Laila M. Aboul Mahasen
6. 2. SYNDESMOSIS
•No movement in these joints
•These joints do not ossify
•Examples :
•Interosseous membrane connecting bones of forearm and leg
•Distal tibiofibular joint
Prof. Laila M. Aboul Mahasen

Distal tibiofibular

7. 3. GOMPHOSIS
•Joints that connect teeth to their sockets in the maxilla or mandible
•The fibrous connection is the periodontal ligament
•They allow little movement during chewing
Prof. Laila M. Aboul Mahasen
8. Cartilaginous Joints
Primary cartilaginous
(Synchondrosis) Joint
Secondary cartilaginous
(Symphysis) joint
bones are connected by
hyaline cartilage
bones are connected by
white fibrocartilage
no movement limited movement
epiphyseal cartilage of growing bone joints in the middle line
Intervertebral disc
Epiphyseal cartilage
Symphysis pubis
Prof. Laila M. Aboul Mahasen
9. • Bones are held together by
hyaline cartilage which ossifies
with age
• There is no movement
• Examples:
Epiphyseal plate
1st sternocostal joint
1st sternocostal joint
Epiphyseal plate
(hyaline cartilage)
1. Primary cartilaginous (Synchondrosis) joints
Prof. Laila M. Aboul Mahasen
10. Secondary cartilaginous(Symphysis) joints
• Bones are connected by fibrocartilage which does not ossify
• Lies in the median plane of the body
• A small amount of
movement is possible
• Examples:
Intervertebral disc
Symphysis pubis
Manubriosternal
junction
Prof. Laila M. Aboul Mahasen
11. SYNOVIAL JOINTS
•They are freely movable
•Structure of synovial joint :
1. There is a joint cavity
2. The articular surfaces are covered
by hyaline cartilage
3. The bones are held together by a
fibrous capsule
4. The capsule maybe thickened in
certain parts to form ligaments
5. The capsule is lined by a synovial
membrane
6. The synovial membrane secretes
synovial fluid
7. The synovial membrane does not
cover the articular cartilage
They represent most joints of the body
Prof. Laila M. Aboul Mahasen
14. Classification of synovial joints
A- According to their axes of movement :
1-Uniaxial : around a vertical or transverse axis
2-Biaxial : movements around 2 axes
3-Multiaxial : movements in multiple axes
B- According to the shape of articular surfaces
Prof. Laila M. Aboul Mahasen
15. Classification of synovial joints
according to their axes of movement
Uniaxial Biaxial Multiaxial
Around
a vertical
axis
Around
A transverse
axis
Pivot
Joint
Hinge
Joint
Ball and
Socket
Joint
1-Ellipsoid
(Condyloid) joint
2- Saddle Joint
Prof. Laila M. Aboul Mahasen
16. They allow movement around a single axis
They are either Hinge or Pivot varieties
Hinge Joints Pivot joints
Shape of
articular
surfaces
Concavo-convex A pivot (axis) surrounded by a ring
Axis of
movement
Movement around
a transverse axis
Movement around
a vertical axis
Movement Flexion & extension •Rotation
•Pronation & supination
Examples •Elbow Joint
•Interphalangeal Joints
•Superior radio-ulnar Joint
•Atlanto-axial Joint
1. Uniaxial Joints
Prof. Laila M. Aboul Mahasen
18. Ellipsoid(condyloid)
Joints
Saddle Joints
Shape of
articular
surfaces
Oval convex surface fitting
an ellipsoid concavity
Both articular surfaces are
concavo-convex
Movement •Flexion & extension
•Adduction & abduction
•Flexion & extension
•Adduction & abduction
•Slight rotation
Examples •Wrist J.
•Metacarpophalangeal
Joints
• Carpometacarpal joint of the
thumb
•They allow movements around two axes
•They are either Ellipsoid (condyloid) or Saddle varieties
2. Biaxial Joints
Prof. Laila M. Aboul Mahasen
21. •They allow movements around multiple axes
•Represented by the Ball & Socket variety
Ball & Socket Joints
Shape of articular
surfaces
Head of one bone fitting a cup-shaped
concavity of another bone
Movement Circumduction
Examples 1. Shoulder joint 2. Hip joint
3. Multiaxial Joints
Prof. Laila M. Aboul Mahasen
24. •Flat articular surfaces
•Allow sliding or gliding movements
•Represented by intercarpal and intertarsal joints
Plane intertarsal joints
4. Plane Joints
Prof. Laila M. Aboul Mahasen
25. SynovialCartilaginous jointFibrous joint
The bones are
covered by
hyaline cartilage
& they are not
united to each
other but
separated by a
synovial cavity
& connected by
fibrous capsule.
They are freely
mobile joints .
secondary
cartilaginous
joints, the bone
ends are covered
by hyaline
cartilage and
connected
together by a disc
of fibrocartilage
doesThey
not ossify
Little movements in
these joints.
primary
cartilaginous
joints, the
bones are
connected
together by
hyaline
cartilage which
ossify later
No movement in
these joints
The bones are
united
together by
intervening
fibrous
tissue
These do not
permit any
movement

28. • In hinge joints, all are true , EXCEPT:
a) They are synovial joints
b) Movement occurs around one axis
c) Allows flexion and extension movements
d) Allows rotatory movements
e) Elbow joint is an example of hinge joint
