25
Circumduction
Movement of limb in a circle with no rotation
26
Fibrous Joints
DFCT in a ligament type structure that crosses from bone to bone and prevents movement. e.g. sagittal suture
27
Hyaline Cartilage
Cartilage found between bones at a joint where they articulate and prevents bone-bone contact+ provides smooth frictionless surface for movement
28
endochondral ossification
Process of transforming cartilage into bone
29
Homeostasis
regulatory mechanisms to ensure the maintenance of the internal environment at the ideal conditions despite external conditions
30
Leg
section of lower limb containing Tibia/ fibula
31
Adduction
Movement towards midline ( coronal)
32
Range of movement/motion (ROM)
The type and amount of movement that is allowed by the structure of the joint
33
Pronation
Movement of forearm so palms face posterier ( transverse)
34
Extension
Increases angle between flesh around joint (sagittal)
35
Dorsiflexion
Flexion and ankle joint- flexing foot ( sagittal)
36
Supination
Movement of forearm so palm faces anterior ( transverse)
37
Tendons
Cord of dense fibrous connective tissue (DFCT) that connects bone to muscle. Facilitates and controls movement of limbs
38
Ligaments
bands of dense fibrous connective tissue( DFCT) that connects bone to bone. Restricts movement of bones away from each other at a joint
39
Flexion
Decreases angle between flesh surrounding joint ( sagittal)
40
Coronal Movement
side to side movement
41
Eversion
sole of foot faces away from midline ( coronal)
42
Cartilaginous Joints
Fibrocartilage joints that allow some movement. e.g. intervertebral disc
43
Transverse movement
Rotational movement
44
Lateral rotation
external rotation ( transverse)
45
periostium
outer connective tissue of bone
46
Superior
Closer to top/above
47
Posterier
The back/ towards the back
48
Osteoblasts
Cells that produce bone matrix
49
Lateral
Further from/ away from the midline
50
Rotation
movement around the long axis of a joint
51
Fibrocartilage
Cartilage at articulations that experience compression and tension- distribute force over a wider area. e.g meniscus in knee
52
Canaliculi
Channels for osteocytes through extracellular material
53
Diaphisis
shaft of a long bone
54
Appositional Growth
Growth by forming new layers on the surface of pre-existing layers; process of increasing in thickness rather than length
55
Arm
Section of upper limb containing humerous
56
Forearm
Section of upper limb containing Radius/ulna
57
Joints
Where two bones meet and are held together
58
Inversion
sole of foot faces midline ( coronal)
59
Dorsal
Towards the Back
60
Deep
Further from surface
61
Sagittal Movement
Front and back movement
62
synovial membrane
Layer of tissue lining the inside of the joint cavity that secretes synovial fluid.
63
Bone Homeostasis
The balance of osteoblast and osteoclast activity
64
Osteons
Longitudinal units within compact bone
65
Thigh
Section of lower limb containing femur
66
compact bone
dense bone composed of osteons
67
Osteogenic Cells
stem cells that produce osteoblasts
68
Central canal ( osteon)
Hole in centre of osteon that contains blood vessels and nerves
69
Osteoclast
Cells responsible for removing bone matrix
70
Inferior
Closer to bottom/ below
