Articulations Flashcards
Fibrous Joints
bones connected by CT, sutures
immovable
Cartilaginous Joints
Bones entirely joined by cartilage, symphysis pubis
more moveable than fibrous, less than synovial
Synovial Joints
freely moveable joints
Articular Cartilage
covers the bone on the periosteum to prevent bone grinding on bone
Joint cavity
has a synovial membrane that produces fluid and cushions the joint cavity
articular capsule
fibrous/synovial
holds bones together, outside of it is CT
thickening of the joint capsule forms ligaments
synovial fluid
joint lubricant, prevents friction
ligaments
thickening of CT around joint capsule
flexion
extension
decrease in angle
increase in angle
abduction
adduction
to take away, lateral movement
to bring back, medial movement
circumduction
flexion, extension, abduction, adduction
not rotation
rotation
body moving around central axis
supinate
pronate
radius rotates laterally around ulna
ulna rotates medially around radius
inversion
eversion
bottom of foot turns medially
bottom of foot turns laterally
plantar flexion
dorsiflexion
pointed foot
flexed foot
