    This document discusses the skeletal and muscular system, specifically joints. It describes three types of joints - fixed/immovable joints with no movement, slightly movable joints with small movement, and freely movable synovial joints with large movement, like those in the knee, shoulder, hip, elbow, and ankle. It outlines the five components of synovial joints - synovial membrane, synovial fluid, joint capsule, ligaments, and cartilage. Finally, it discusses two types of synovial joints - ball and socket joints, which provide a large range of movement but are less stable, and hinge joints, which only allow movement in one direction but are more stable.

    SKELETAL AND MUSCULAR

    SYSTEM
    (JOINT)
    JOINT

    The point at which two or more bones meet


    or allowing movements
    Types of Joint

    1)Fixed/Immovable- This is fibrous joint where


    no movement is
    Types of Joint
    2)Slightly movable/Cartilaginous- This provides
    small range of movement joined by
    Cartilage and ligament.
    ● It can be found vertebrae of the spine
    Types of Joint
    3) Freely movable/synovial- This provides a large
    range of movement ball, socket and hinge joints.
    ● It can be found in the knee,
    shoulder,hip,elbow and ankle.
    The 5 Component of Synovial Joint
    1) Synovial membrane - Rate is to protect the inside of the joint and provide
    additional structure to keep those bones in place
    ● Lines the inside of the joint capsule
    ● Surrounds the joint capsule with synovial fluid

    2) Synovial Fluid

    ● A lubricant that reduces friction


    ● Allows for smooth movement
    ● Reduces wear and tear
    The 5 Component of Synovial Joint
    3) Joint Capsule - Is made of fibrous membrane and sit just outside of the
    synovial membrane

    ● Surround and protect the joint


    ● Helps to hold the bones together
    ● Made of fibrous membrane and a synovial membrane
    4) Ligaments
    ● Stong, elastic fibers
    ● Connects bones together and holds them together
    The 5 Component of Synovial Joint
    5) Cartilage

    ● Is made of strong, flexible material


    ● Found at the end of bones
    ● Cushions the bones

    6) Tendos

    ● Tough, fibrous tissue


    ● Connects muscle to the bone
    ● Helps the joint with stand tension
    Types of Synovial Joint
    1) Ball and Socket

    ● Provide a range of movement


    ● Less stable and more prone to injury
    ● Located at the hip and the shoulder

    Example: Provides a large range of movement for action like serving in tennis

    2) Hinge Joint

    ● Only allow movement in direction


    ● Located at the elbow and the knee
    ● More stable and less to injury
    ● Movement possible flexion and extension

    Example: The elbows and Knees allow you to bend and straighten the arms and the legs when performing

    jump shot in basketball.
