Arten von Synovialgelenken

This tutorial explores synovial joints, one of the three main types of joints in the human body. It covers their anatomy, including hyaline cartilage and joint capsules, and explains the different types of synovial joints, such as hinge, ball, and saddle joints. The video also discusses the axes of motion and provides examples like the elbow and shoulder joints. A clinical case on osteoarthritis highlights joint wear and tear, symptoms, and treatment options. The tutorial concludes with a recap of key points.
