Introduction

Developing distal phalangeal joint

In the adult, the region where two skeletal bones meet and articulae is called a "joint".

In the adult, there are a range of adult joint types based upon their anatomical structure, mobility and shape of the joint.

In the embryo, the majority of the vertebrate skeleton is initially formed as a cartilage template, that is later replaced by bone except at the interface between two adjacent bones, leaving in the adult a layer of cartilage in this region. The musculoskeletal system consists of skeletal muscle, bone, and cartilage and is mainly mesoderm in origin with some neural crest contribution.

Joint Types

Classification

Fibrous (synarthrodial) - immoveable joints found in cranial vault and teeth
Cartilagenous (synchondroses and sympheses) - partially moveable joints
Synovial (diarthrosis) - freely moveable joints are the most common found in the skeleton

Movement

Hinge - (elbow and knee) Flexion/Extension
Pivot - (neck, atlas and axis bones) Rotation of one bone around another
Ball and Socket - (shoulder and hip)
Saddle - (thumb)
Condyloid - (wrist joints)
Gliding - (intercarpal joints) Gliding movements
