be explaining the functions of the different components and types of synovial joints and explain the structure and function of cartilaginous and fixed joints. Most of the joints are synovial and contain synovial fluid which is a lubricating liquid. These are found in the limbs where mobility is important. A synovial joint is also known as a Diarthrosis which are freely movable joints. These types of synovial joints are the largest group with the greatest variations and can be found in the shoulder

Basketball Synovial joint 1 A synovial joint is a joint that allows a wide range of movement. These are important when analysing sporting movement. The first synovial joint that I will look at is the hinge joint. The hinge joint can be found in the knee and elbow. Hinge joint can only perform two types of movement – flexion and extension. When analysing a jump shot we need to get into a set position where our elbow and knees are flexed it is a hinge joint that allows us to do this. When

ASSIGNMENT 2016 Hinge Joint- Knee The knee joint is the largest joint in the body‚ consisting of 4 bones and an extensive network of ligaments and muscles. What is the scientific name of this joint? The knee joints that make up the knee are split into three parts. The femur meets the tibia to form the main knee joint. This joint has an inner called medial and an outer called lateral compartment. The patella joins the femur to form a third joint‚ called the patellofemoral joint. The patella protects

BY JACOB WOODS 12G Synovial Joints Synovial joints are characterised by a layer of synovial fluid surrounding the articulating surfaces. This helps to lubricate the cartilage therefore reducing the friction between the joints. The synovial capsule stores the fluid‚ meaning it can lubricate the joint quickly. There are 5 types of synovial joint. They are as follows. Ball and socket joint Spheroidal joints to give them their technical name are joints that include two articular surfaces; a ball

nerves. I am going to talk about the joints of the skeletal system. The skeletal system gives us our shape and protects the inner structures of our bodies. In this system there are areas where 2 or more bones are held together in one of three ways. These are called joints and the bones and movement of the bones classifies the type of joint that is in that particular area. Written assignment Week 1 The first type of joint that I will talk about are Fibrous Joints. They are held together by Ligaments

Types of joints: Ball-and-socket joint: Consists of a bone with a globular or slightly egg-shaped head that articulates with the cup-shaped cavity of another bone. Such a joint allows a wider range of motion than does any other kind‚ permitting movements in all planes‚ as well as rotational movement around a central axis. The hip and shoulder contain joints of this type. Condyloid joint: The ovoid condyle of one bone fits into the elliptical cavity of another bone‚ as in the joints between the

Articulations or Joints • Articulation or Joint – Place where two bones (or bone and cartilage) come together – Can be freely movable‚ have limited‚ or no apparent movement – Structure correlated with movement • Naming Joints – According to bones or parts united at joint- temporomandibular – According to only one of articulating bones- humeral – By Latin equivalent of common name- cubital 8-2 Classes of Joints • Structural: based on major connective tissue type that binds

Elbow Joint The elbow joint is a very complex hinge joint located between the distal end of the humerus in the upper region of the proximal ends of the ulna and radius. The elbow joint allows flexion and extension and rotation of the forearm and wrist. The range of motion of the elbow is limited due to the olecranon of the ulna so that elbow can only extend to 180 degrees. Like most synovial joints‚ a thin layer of articulating cartilage covers the ends of the bones to allow smooth movement.
