Q

What are the short-term effects of exercise on the joints?

A
  • Synovial fluid is released into the joint, reducing the risk of wear and tear.
  • Warmer joints move more freely.

Q

What is the role of ligaments?

A

Ligaments are made of tough, white, non-elastic, fibrous tissue which is strung together in a cord or strap-like formation to withstand a lot of tension.

Q

What is synovial fluid?

A

Synovial fluid, is a viscous, non-Newtonian fluid found in the cavities of synovial joints. With its egg white–like consistency, the principal role of synovial fluid is to reduce friction between the articular cartilage of synovial joints during movement.

Q

State two characteristics of ligaments?

A
  • Ligaments attach and connect bone to bone in all joints
  • Enhance joint stability
  • Guides joint motion and alignment
  • Prevents excessive or unwanted motion in the joint.

Q

Name the three classifications of the jonits and describe their movement potential?

A

There are three types of joints classified according to their degree of movement.

  • Fibrous joint - immovable with interlocking bones.
  • Cartilaginous joints - slightly movable joints connected by cartilage.
  • Synovial joints - are freely movable and the most common type of joint found in the body.
45

The carpometacarpal joint (thumb).

46
Q

Give an example of a gliding joint?

A

The metacarpo-phalangeal joints (knuckles).

51
Q

Name the joints that can perform circumduction?

A

Circumduction can be best performed at ball and socket joints, such as the hip and shoulder, but may also be performed by other parts of the body such as fingers, hands, feet, and head.

52
Q

Name the hip movement?

A

Adduction

53
Q

What are the long-term effects of exercise on the joints?

A
