Learning

joint actions.
s and
Success Identify individual bones, types of bones and joints using
anatomical terminology
Criteria
Describe the functions of the skeletal system
Success Criteria:
◦ I can distinguish between the three different joint classifications
◦ I can outline different synovial joints using clear examples and sporting context
◦ I can explain the location of body parts in relation to others using anatomical terms
◦ Offer no movement
◦ Tough fibres, join these bones together
◦ E.g. Zigzag lines (sutures) of the skull, pelvis,
sternum.
Types of joints
◦Cartilaginous (slightly moveable)
• Cartilage joins these bones together
• Cartilage is not as flexible as ligaments therefore
movement is restricted (allows small movement)
• Example: vertebral column or where the ribs join the
sternum
Types of joints
◦Synovial (freely moveable)
◦ Move freely (in at least one direction)
◦ The most common type of joint
◦ Example: knee, shoulder, elbow
◦ Six types of synovial joints – classified according to their
shape and the type of movement they allow.
Gliding Joint
Condyloid Joint
Pivot Joint
In pairs, and using these images and your textbook,
perform a movement at each of the 6 types of
synovial joints.

Superficial A body part closer to the surface Skin is superficial to the heart
