Joints: Crash Course A&P #20

We continue our look at your bones and skeletal system, skipping over the silly kid’s song in favor of a more detailed look at your your axial and appendicular skeleton. This episode also talks about the structural and functional classifications of your joints and the major types of body movement that they facilitate.

A joint is where two bones meet in the Human body. Without joints, movement as we know would be impossible. After this video, you should find out how many joints in the Human body are you able to identify. Try this quiz: https://khub.me/m0ftb

So as you’ve probably already observed within your own body, the bones of the human body work together to create a structural scaffolding to protect the internal organs and to facilitate movement. Every bone in the body articulates with at least one other bone, with the exception of the hyoid bone which is floating up around the neck. Articulation, which is the joining together of two bone structures, is what makes movement possible and the point of articulation between two bones is called a joint. Joints are classified according to the range of motion they exhibit and the types of tissue that holds the bones together.

We classify joints according to the types of tissues holding the articulating bones together. With that in mind, we can describe three distinct types of joints and these are the synovial joint, the fibrous joint and the cartilaginous joint.

In this video tutorial, we will be going over the following points:
– definition of articulation/joint;
– joint classification;
– synovial joints;
– fibrous joints;
– cartilaginous joints;
– classification of joints based on range of motion;
– ball and socket joints;
– hinge joints;
– pivot joints;
– condylar joints;
– saddle joints;
– plane joints;
