Bones and Joints Flashcards
(81 cards)
What are the 3 planes of movement
Sagittal, frontal, transverse
distal
furthest away from center of body
lateral
outwards
medial
towards midline
proximal
closest to center of body
unilateral
produced by only one limb
bilateral
both sides of body
cotralateral
opposite side
ipsilateral
same side
which plane of movement gets the least attention
transverse
Bone/Muscle/Weight
lever/effort/load
First class lever
weight and force are op opposite side of lever
example of 1st class lever
elbow joint where lower arm is extended- tricep is force, elbow is fulcrum, hand is load
second class lever
force is applied at one end of the lever, fulcrum at the other end located in the middle is the load
example of 2nd class lever
ankle joint where ball of foot is fulcrum gastrocnemius is effort, resistance is foot pushing to floor
third class lever
effort is applied between load and fulcrum most skeletal muscles
example of third class lever
biceps lifting the forearm, anything carried is the load
which lever is at a mechanical disadvantage
1st
which lever sacrifices speed and ROM
2nd class
Bones and joints of shoulder girdle
acromioclavicular joint, clavicle, sternoclavicular joint, glenohumeral joint, scapula

acromioclavicular joint
scapula and clavicle meet gliding synovial joint at the top of shoulder

sternovlavicular joint
where clavicle articulates with sternum gliding synovial joint w. a cartilaginous disc tha absorbs stress

glenohumeral joint
proximal end of humerus rounded to form ball of shoulder joint which articulates with the glenoid cavity

glenoid cavity
shallow socket at top lateral edge of scapula
