Type of joint |
Movements of a joint |
Joint of the head of the rib (articolatio capitis costae-latin)
|
Articular surface of the head of the rib; superior and inferior costal facets of two adjacent thoracic vertebrae, except I, XI , XII ribs, heads of whitch connect with full costal facets I, XI, XII th. vertebrae. |
Intra-articular ligament (lig. capitis costae intraarticulare) except I, XI , XII ribs ; radiate ligament (lig. capitis costae radiatum) |
Ball and socket, combined multiaxial |
Rise and lower ribs (axis of movement passes along of the neck of the rib)
|
Costotransverse joint (articulatio costotransversaria) except XI , XII ribs |
Articular surface of the tubercle of the rib, transverse costal facet.
|
Lateral and superior costotransverse ligaments (ligamenta costotransersaria laterale et superius) |
plane, combined multiaxial |
Rise and lower ribs (axis of movement passes along of the neck of the rib)
|
Sternocostal joints (articulationes sternocostales)
|
Articular surfaces of cartilages II—VII ribs, costal notch of sternum (Ist rib connect with manubium by synchondrosis) |
Radiate sternocostal ligaments (lig. sternocostalia radiata) formatting the sternal membrane(membrana sterni) IInd joint has intra-articular ligament |
plane multiaxial, sedentary
|
Rise and lower ribs |
Interchondral joins (articulationes interchondrales) Or syndesmosis
|
Articular surface of cartilages VIII- X. Or cartilages of VIII, IX, X ribs grow together, while cartilage of VIII rib — with ones of VII rib. |
Interal, external intercostal membrane (membrana intercostalis interna et externa) |
- or plane |

Movements of a joint |
Atlanto-occipital joint (art. atlantooccipitalis)
|
2 condyles of the occipital bone, superior articular surfaces of atlas |
anterior atlanto-ocipital membrane (membrana atlantooccipitalis anterior); posterior atlanto-ocipital membrane (membrana atlantooccipitalis posterior) |
elipsoid, biaxial, combined |
saggital, frontal(transverse)
|
nodding movements, lateral inclination of the head
|
Median atlanto-axial joint (art. atlantoaxilaris mediana)
|
Facet for dens of atlas, anterior articular facet of odontoid process (dens) of axis |
cruciate ligament of atlas(lig.cruciforme atlantis), formating by crossing of 2 ligaments: transverse ligament of the atlas (lig. transversum atlantis) and fibrous longitudinal bands (fasciculi longitudinales) from posterior longitudinal ligament; apical ligament of dens (lig. apicis dentis); alar ligaments (ligamenta alaria); tectorial membrane (membrana tectoria) |
hinge, uniaxial
|
vertical (longitudinal)
|
rotatory movement of the head
|
Lateral atlanto-axial joints (art. atlantoaxilaris laterales)
|
superior articular facet of axis, inferior articular surface of atlas
|
plane, combined, multiaxial
|
vertical (longitudinal)
|
rotatory movement of the head
