    The document summarizes key information about joints in the human body. It defines joints as sites where two or more bones articulate or connect, whether or not they allow movement. Ligaments connect bone to bone and tendons connect muscle to bone, providing stability. Joints require a balance of mobility and stability. Mobility depends on muscle bulk, tendon/ligament elasticity, and bone structure. There are three main types of joints: freely movable synovial joints which allow the most movement; fibrous joints with limited movement; and cartilaginous joints with no movement. The document then describes six types of synovial joints and various movements like flexion, extension, and rotation.

    Joints

    Body in Action
    Joint definition
    A site at which two or more
    bones come together (articulate)
    whether or not it allows
    movement.

    Ligaments & Tendons

    Ligaments: taut
    inelastic bands of
    fibrous tissue joining
    bone to bone.
    Tendons: tough
    cords of tissue that
    join muscle to bone.
    Mobility & Stability of
    Joints
    Athletes need a balance between mobility
    and stability.
    Muscle toning adds to the stability of
    joints
    Mobility depends on:
    - muscle bulk
    - elasticity of tendons and ligaments
    - bone structure of the joint
    Flexibility

    Flexibility is the range of motion


    around a joint.
    Flexibility can be improved through
    exercise.
    Inflexibility may contribute to injury.
    Three types of joints
    Freely Movable
    (Synovial) joints
    Most common type
    Allow the greatest amount of movement
    A synovial membrane on the inner layer of the
    capsule secretes a lubricating fluid known as
    synovial fluid

    Knee joint
    6 types of synovial
    joints
    - gliding: eg. carpal bones
    - condyloid: eg. metacarpals and
    phalanges
    - pivot: eg. first two cervical vertebrae
    - hinge: eg. ulna and humerus
    - saddle: eg. carpal-metacarpal joint of
    the thumb
    - ball and socket: eg. pelvis and femur
    Joint Movements

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YcNAPzDxDg&t=113
    Joint Movements
    Flexion :
    bending a body part or
    decreasing the angle
    between the parts

    Extension :
    straightening a body part
    or increasing the angle
    between the parts
    Joint Movements

    Abduction :
    moving a part of the body
    away from the midline

    Adduction :
    moving a part of the body
    toward the midline
    Joint Movements
    Inversion :
    turning the foot so that the
    sole faces inward

    Eversion :
    turning the foot so that the s
    ole faces outward
    Joint Movements

    Supination :
    turning the hand so that the
    palm faces upward

    Pronation :
    turning the hand so that the
    palm faces downward
    Joint Movements

    Abduction :
    moving a part of the body
    away from the midline

    Adduction :
    moving a part of the body
    toward the midline
    Joint Movements
    Rotation :
    turning a body part on an axis. Full 360o
    rotation is not possible in a human due to
    restriction of muscles, blood vessels and
    nerves (e.g. turning the head from side to side)

    Circumduction :
    a combination of movements which results
    in a cone-like movement (e.g. arm circles)
