Embryonic development of the joints is greatly dependent on the bone development. In the areas, where discontinuous articulations will form between the developing bones, the mesenchyme is resorbed in the center of the primordium forming a cleft-like cavity of the future joint. On the contrary, peripheral regions of the mesenchyme, which surround the cavity, condense, giving rise to the fibrous capsule and ligaments of the joint. Cartilaginous epiphyses ossify in such away that a thin layer of articular cartilage remains on their surfaces for life, which provides the smoothness of articular surfaces.

an uninterrupted articulating tissue -connective, cartilaginous, or osseous. Such articulations are either slightly movable or completely fixed.
Discontinuous (synovial) articulations contain a cavity lined with the synovial membrane. They possess a great mobility. They are called joints.
Intermediate forms between the continuous and discontinuous articulations are symphyses (or hemiarthroses). They are represented by the cartilaginous articulations with the cleft-like cavity lacking a fibrous capsule and without synovial membrane.

tissue type, which articulates two bones, continuous articulations are divided into
fibrous, syndesmoses,
cartilaginous, synchondroses,
osseous, synostoses.

fibrous connective tissue and are divided into the following groups:

gomphosis, gomphosis, dentoalveolar syndesmosis, a fibrous articulation between the periodontium of alveolar socket and the root of the tooth;

sutures, sutura, fibrous articulations between the bones of the skull, which contain a thin layer of connective tissue;

fontanelles, fonticuli, between bones of skull of the new-born;

interosseous membranes, membranae interosseae;

ligaments, ligamenta, most of the ligaments consist of a dense regular connective tissue. Fibers in the ligaments run obliquely and cross over like in the rope. Therefore, ligaments are quite resilient. Collagen fibers of the ligaments, besides resiliency, provide great elasticity. Some ligaments, besides collagen fibers, contain a considerable amount of elastic tissue yellow in color. They are characterized by lower resilience but greater elasticity. They perform a shock-absorbing function (e.g. yellow ligaments of the vertebral column). Because of their low resilience, elastic ligaments are not very common in the body.

1—TEMPORARY— exist only to the definite age.

2—PERMANENT— exist throughout the life.

ACCORDING TO THE PROPERTY OF THE CARTILAGINOUS TISSUES : 1—HYALINE— between I rib and sternum.

2—FIBROUS—between vertebral bodies.
These cartilages have no vessels and nerves.

into the osseous articulation synostosis (synostosis).
Synostoses or bone articulations (junctura ossea) is contiguous joining of bones by means of bone tissue, for instance, synostoses between three bones of the hip bone in an adult.

(juncturae synoviales, articulatio, diarthrosis) are discontinuous joints characterized by the presence of the synovial membrane. They are also characterized by a variety of movement amplitudes. Consequently these joints are most common in higher vertebrates and humans.

joint possesses four basic elements:
articular surfaces, facies articulares;
articular capsule, capsula articularis;
articular cavity, cavitas articularis hermetically sealed, cleft-like cavity; between the articulating bones.
synovial fluid

surfaces of the bones are covered with the hyaline cartilage (sometimes fibrous), which is 2.5 mm thick on average. The thickness of the cartilage depends on the amount of compression experienced by the joint. The surface of the cartilage is not covered with the perichondrium. The surface is smooth lubricated with the synovial fluid which reduces friction to minimum and facilitates the movement.

Articular capsule. The capsule of the joint attaches to the edges of articular surfaces or somewhat over them. The articular capsule hermetically seals the articular cavity and consists of two layers - external fibrous layer, membrana fibrosa, and internal synovial layer, membrana synovialis.

The fibrous layer of the capsule has a mechanical function. It consists of bundles of resilient connective tissue fibers, which attach to the bone penetrating it in the form of Sharpie's fibers.
Synovial membrane. This layer of the articular capsule is a thin connective tissue membrane, which is lined on the inside with squamous synovial cells of mesenchymatous origin. Consequently, the synovial membrane can form folds and protrusions.

in the majority of the joints forms large folds, plicae synoviales, which contain adipose tissue. They go into the articular cavity, filling its potential spaces and forming cushions, which absorb shock during motion. In certain regions, most frequently in the areas of muscular tendons, the synovial membrane protrudes through the clefts in the fibrous layer and forms synovial bursae. They serve to reduce friction during tendons' movement and can be attributed to the accessory muscular apparatus.

Synovial villi. The synovial layer bears numerous, microscopic, synovial villi, villi synoviales, which significantly increase its surface area, contain capillary networks, and produce the synovial fluid.

Synovial fluid. In the articular cavity there is a small amount of pale, thick, synovial fluid. It is produced by the synovial membrane. The synovial fluid lubricates the articular surfaces and reduces friction between them.

Synovial cavity. Under normal circumstances, the synovial cavity is a thin cleft, bounded by the synovial membrane and the articular surfaces. Between the latter, there is a thin layer of synovial fluid, which separates articulating surfaces. In the pathological processes, the synovial cavity can accumulate large amounts of inflammatory liquid and greatly increases in size.

Synovial joints may possess several accessory elements, which facilitate movement to a certain extent:

articular disc, discus articularis, a cartilaginous plate, which completely separates the joint into two regions;
articular meniscus, meniscus articularis, cartilaginous semilunar plate, which partially separates the synovial cavity;
articular lip, labrum articularis, a cartilaginous rim or lip, which deepens the articular socket;
intraarticular ligaments, ligg. intraarticularia, connect bones within the joint; they are covered with the synovial membrane.
 
Auxiliary strengthening apparatus of joints – ligaments and tendons of muscles. There are extra-articular and intra- articular ligaments, covered by synovial membranes.

capsule, which is reinforced by the ligaments;
Muscles, which surround the joint and actively hold the bones together due to a constant muscle tone;
Molecular attraction of articular surfaces, lubricated by the synovial fluid.

cases, when articulating surfaces entirely correspond to each other and appear as imprints of one another, joints are called congruent (congruo - correspond). In such joints, articular surfaces are tightly joined together as, for example, in the hip joint, in which movements are largely restricted.

Incongruent joints have a greater degree of freedom in their movements due to the incomplete correspondence of the articulating surfaces. These joints possess accessory structures such as disks, menisci, synovial folds, which fill the irregularities in the articular surfaces and smooth out their incongruence. The knee joint is an example of the incongruent joint.

right to left. Flexion (flexio) and extension (extensio) of the shoulder occur around the frontal axis.

The sagittal axis is drawn from front to back. Abduction (abductio) and adduction (adductio) of the shoulder occur around this axis.

The vertical axis runs through the joint and through the entire arm from the top to the bottom. Medial and lateral rotations (rotatio) of the humerus occur around this axis.

Circumduction (circumductio) takes place when the movement passes from one axis to another, as when the hand moves in a circular path. Circular movements are possible in multi-axial and bi-axial joints.

the joints based on the number of articulating surfaces:

simple - is composed of only two articulating surfaces;

compound - contains more than two articulating surfaces;

complex joint - if a joint contains articular discs or menisci, which divide it into two parts;

combined joints - two isolated joints, in which movements occur simultaneously.

Uni-axial joints
Bi-axial joints
Multi-axial joints

joints, movement is restricted to a single axis. There are two types of uni-axial joints:

hinge joint, ginglymus, contains articulating surfaces, which resemble hinges (for example, interphalangeal joints of the hand and foot);

pivot joint, art. trochoidea (art. cylindrica), a cylindrical joint, formed by the convex and concave articulating surfaces cylindrical in shape (for example, proximal and distal radio-ulnar joints).

joints permit movements around two axes, which are perpendicular to each other. The following bi-axial joints are distinguished based on their shape:

ellipsoid joint, art. ellipsoidea, contains elliptical (egg-shaped) articulating surfaces
(for example, radiocarpal joint);

bicondylar joint, art. bicondylaris, consists of a pair of convex, ellipsoid, articulating surfaces, which are rather prominent. Hence, they are known as condyles (for example, knee joint);

saddle joint, art. sellaris, contains two articulating surfaces each of which resembles a saddle
(for example, carpometacarpal joint of the thumb).

spheroidal joints and their variations.
Even though, in principle, movements in these joints arc possible around multiple axes drawn through the joint, rotation occurs only around three axis:

spheroidal joint (ball-and-socket joint), art. spheroidea, consists of a globular head and a corresponding concavity. A typical example is the shoulder joint. Variation of the ball-and-socket joint is the cotyloid joint. Its head resides in a deep articular socket, consequently, it is known as the cup-like joint (art. cotylica);

plane joint, art. plana, contains two flat surfaces, which can be viewed as sur­faces of a sphere with a large diameter. Because of the small size difference of both articulating surfaces, only slight translations are possible in plane joints (for example, sacroiliac joint).

develop in the joints, among which infectious arthritis is the most common (particularly, rheumatic or tuberculous arthritis). Inflammations of the synovial membrane — synovitis and bursitis are also fairly common. Joint deformations, contraction of the synovial cleft, and restriction of movements accompanied by pain syndrome can occur as a consequence of degenerative changes (arthrosis). Traumas can cause various joint dislocations with stretched and ruptured ligaments. Physician of different specialties often have to deal with the diseases of joints.

paired and formed by the articulation of the head of the mandible (ellipsoid in shape) with the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone.
It belongs to the group of the bicondylar, combined joints.
The articular surfaces are incongruent. Therefore, inside the joint there is the articular disk, discus articularis, which fuses with the fibrous capsule and divides the articular cavity of the joint into two isolated levels - the upper and the lower (complex joint).
Fibrous capsule. In the region of the temporal bone, the capsule is attached to the margins of the mandibular fossa, fossa mandibularis, covers in the front the articular tubercle, tuberculum articulare, and in the back reaches the petrotympanic fissure. On the mandible, the capsule attaches to the edge of the articular surface of the head in the front (above the pterygoid fossa), while in the back it inserts into the neck of the mandible.

whose fibers run obliquely from the zygomatic process of the temporal bono to the neck of the mandible. Importantly, (ho following fasciae (ligaments) thicken in order to stabilize the mandible:
1) lig. stylomandibular, which runs from the styloid process of the temporal bone to the posterior angle of the mandible;
2) lig. sphenomandibulare, which extends from the spine of the sphenoid towards the lingula of the mandible.

Movements. The temporomandibular joint permits the following movements:
1) elevation and depression of themandible occurs around the frontal axis in the lower level of the joint. When the mandible is exceedingly depressed, the articular disk with the head of the mandible may be displaced onto the articular tubercle;
2) protrusion of the mandible occurs in the upper level of the joint in such a way that the head together with the articular disk are drawn onto the articular tubercle;
3) lateral movements of the mandible occur such that on one side the head remains in the fossa, whereas on the opposite side it: is drawn onto the articular tubercle together with the articular disc.

of the first visceral (mandibular) arch, which is associated with the third branch of the trigeminal nerve. All of the masticatory muscles (four) act on the temporomandibular joint and move the mandible. They can be divided into the superficial and deep muscles .
THE SUPERFICIAL MASTICATORY MUSCLES
Masseter, m. masseter.
Origin: zygomatic arch.
Insertion: masseteric tuberosity and angle of the mandible. It consists of two parts — superficial (pars superficialis) and deep (pars profunda).
Action. Elevates the mandible; the superficial part protracts the mandible.

Temporalis, m. temporalis.
Origin: temporal and parietal bones, temporal fascia.
Insertion: coronoid process of the mandible. The muscle fills the temporal fossa. It is flat and fan-shaped. The ante­rior fibers of the temporalis are directed vertically, middle fibers — obliquely, and posterior fibers — almost horizontally. The fibers of the muscle converge below forming a thick tendon, which runs underneath the zygomatic arch and inserts into the coronoid process.
Action. Elevates and retracts the mandible.

the pterygoid process.
Insertion: pterygoid tuberosity of the mandible.
Action. Elevates and pulls the mandible to the side. When the muscle contracts on both sides, it protracts the mandible.

Lateral pterygoid, m. pterygoideus lateralis.
Origin: arises by two heads: from the infratemporal crest of the sphenoid bone (upper head) and lateral plate of the pterygoid process (lower head).
Insertion: pterygoid fossa of the neck of the mandible and capsule of the temporomandibular joint.
The muscle is triangular in shape. Its fibers are directed backward and laterally. It lies deep in the infratemporal fossa covered by the zygomatic arch and the ramus of the mandible as well as by the temporal muscle.
Action. In unilateral contraction, the muscle moves the mandible to the opposite side; when the lateral pterygoid muscles of the two sides act together they protrude the mandible.

Nerve supply of the masticatory muscles. All masticatory muscles arc supplied by the third branch of the trigeminal nerve.
