Document Summary

Skeletal elements separated by narrow articular cavity: joint capsule. Synovial membrane attaches @ the interface between the bone and cartilage and encloses the cavity. It is highly vascular and produces synovial liquid that fills the cavity and lubricates surfaces. Closed sacs of synovial membrane also form bursa or tendon sheaths which reduce friction around surfaces: articular cartilage. Hyaline @ ends of bones: accessory structures. Fat pads between synovial membrane and the capsule. Described by shape and movement plane (flat), hinge, pivot, bicondylar (two sets of contact points), condylar (ellipsoid), saddle, ball and socket. Plane joint sliding + gliding acromioclavicular joint: hinge joint allows movement in the transverse axis elbow. Pivot joint allow movement around one axis that passes longitudinally along the shaft of the bone. Bicondylar allows movement in 2 axis with limited movement in the second axis knee joint. Condylar allow movement around 2 axes at right angles to each other wrist.
