Anatomy Practice Worksheets- Joints

OBJECTIVES
• To review general joint knowledge, general features and classification of joints
• To re-evaluate extremity joints and ligaments

Morphological classification: According to the substance between the articulating bones

1) Fibrous joints
Sutura, gomphosis, syndesmosis
2) Cartilaginous joints
Synchondrosis, Symphysis
3) Synovial joints
Types of synovial joints:

 Art. trochoidea
 Ginglimus
 Condyloid (ellipsoid) joint (art. condylaris)
 Bicondylar joint (art. bicondylaris)
 Sellar eklem (art. sellaris)
 Sferoid eklemler (art. spheroidea)
 Plana tipi eklemler

1. Upper Extremity Joints

a) Art. Acromioclavicularis (art.plana)
b) Art. sternoclavicularis (art.plana)

2) Free upper extremity joints

a) Shoulder joint (art. humeri) (art.spheroidea)
b) Elbow joint (art. cubiti)
• Art. humeroradialis (spheroid)
• Art. humeroulnaris (gingylimus)
• Art. radioulnaris proximalis (trochoid)
c) Art. radioulnaris distalis (trochoid)
c) Wrist joint (art. radiocarpea) (ellipsoid)
d) Artt. manus (hand joints)
 Artt. intercarpales (plana)
 Art. Carpometacarpales, Art. carpometacarpalis pollicis are sellar, others are plana
 Artt. metacarpophalangeae (ellipsoid)
 Artt. interphalangeales (ginglymus)
