Lab 5 (Unit 2) Flashcards
Flexion
bending limb
Extension
extending limb
Abduction
moving body part away from midline
Adduction
moving body part towards midline
Rotation
around axis
Cirumduction
360 degrees of motion
Supination
- palm up
- radius parallel to ulna
Pronation
- palm down
- radius crossed over ulna
What do all synovial joints have?
- fibrous layer
- synovial membrane
- joint cavity with synovial fluid
- articular cartilage
- ligaments
Knee Joint
- hinge
- two menisci stabilize joint (external and internal)
Where is the medial collateral ligament?
- between tibia and femur
- creates part of external meniscus for knee joint
Where is the lateral collateral ligament?
- between the fibula and femur
- creates part of external meniscus
What ligaments make up the internal meniscus for the knee joint?
- anterior cruciate ligament
- posterior cruciate ligament
- both make an x
- attach to femur and tibia
Pectoral Girlle
-made of left and right scapulae and clavicle
-scapulae don’t join axial skeleton just loosely articulate with clavicle
>highly flexible but not very stable
Scapula
- on dorsal surface of ribcage
- borders: superior, medial, and lateral
- Glenoid fossa articulates with humerus to equal shoulder joint
- coracoid process is where bicep muscle attaches
- acromion articulates with lateral acromial at the end of clavicle
- infraspinous, supraspinous, subscapularis fossae hold muscles
