Joints

35.8K
Joints, also called articulations or articular surfaces, are points at which ligaments or other tissues connect adjacent bones. Joints permit movement and stability, and can be classified based on their structure or function.
Structural joint classifications are based on the material that makes up the joint as well as whether or not the joint contains a space between the bones. Joints are structurally classified as fibrous, cartilaginous, or synovial.

Structural Joints: Synovial Joints01:16

Structural Joints: Synovial Joints

7.0K
Synovial joints are the most common type of joint in the body. A key structural characteristic for a synovial joint is the presence of a joint cavity. This fluid-filled space is where the articulating surfaces of the bones contact each other. Also, unlike fibrous or cartilaginous joints, the articulating bone surfaces at a synovial joint are not directly connected to each other with fibrous connective tissue or cartilage. This gives the bones of a synovial joint the ability to move smoothly...

Structural Joints: Fibrous Joints01:03

Structural Joints: Fibrous Joints

3.8K
Fibrous joints are a type of joint where the bones are connected by fibrous connective tissue. These joints provide stability and minimal to no movement between the articulating bones. There are three types of fibrous joints.
Suture
All the bones of the skull, except for the mandible, are joined to each other by a fibrous joint called a suture. The fibrous connective tissue found at a suture strongly unites the adjacent skull bones and thus helps to protect the brain and form the face. In...

Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints01:17

Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints

4.1K
As the name indicates, at a cartilaginous joint, the adjacent bones are united by cartilage, a tough but flexible type of connective tissue. Unlike synovial joints, these types of joints lack a joint cavity and involve bones joined together by either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage.
There are two types of cartilaginous joints:
Synchondrosis
A synchondrosis ("joined by cartilage") is a cartilaginous joint where bones are connected by hyaline cartilage. Synchondrosis may be temporary...

Method of Joints01:30

Method of Joints

1.3K
The method of joints is a commonly used technique to analyze the forces in structural trusses. The method is based on the principle of equilibrium, which assumes that the truss members are connected by frictionless pins. The forces at each joint can be determined by considering the equilibrium of the forces acting on that joint.
Since plane truss members are in the same plane, each joint is subjected to a coplanar and concurrent force system. To apply the method of joints, the first step is to...

Introduction to Joints00:58

Introduction to Joints

4.8K
The adult human body usually has 206 bones, and except for the hyoid bone in the neck, each bone is connected to at least one other bone. Joints are the location where bones come together. Many joints allow for movement between the bones. At these joints, the articulating surfaces of the adjacent bones can move smoothly against each other. However, the bones of other joints may be joined by connective tissue or cartilage. These joints are designed for stability and provide little or no...

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Joint custody arrangements lack a standard definition, leading to varied parental expectations. Exploring parental objectives and alternatives is crucial for appropriate child custody decisions.

    Area of Science:

    • Family Law
    • Child Psychology
    • Sociology

    Background:

    • The popular term "joint custody" lacks a standardized legal or practical definition.
    • Parents seeking joint custody often have diverse and sometimes conflicting objectives and expectations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the varied objectives and expectations associated with joint custody.
    • To explore the potential of joint custody and alternative arrangements in meeting parental goals.
    • To identify the benefits and risks inherent in joint custody.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative analysis of parental objectives and expectations.
    • Review of legal and psychological literature on child custody.
    • Examination of case studies illustrating joint custody outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Significant variability exists in parental understanding and desired outcomes of joint custody.
    • Joint custody can offer benefits but also presents specific risks depending on the family context.
    • Alternative custody arrangements may be more suitable for certain parental objectives.

    Conclusions:

    • Joint custody requires careful consideration of individual family circumstances and parental goals.
    • A thorough exploration of alternatives alongside joint custody is recommended.
    • Custody decisions should be individualized and awarded only when deemed appropriate for the child's best interests.
