Q

what do bone markings allow for

A

give attachment to muscle tendons and ligaments

21
Q

What does axial skeleton consist of

A

skull, vertebral column, ribs and sternum

22
Q

what does appendicular skeleton consist of

A

shoulder girdle + upper limbs and hip girdle + lower limbs

23
Q

what defines a joint

A

site at which any two or more bones articulate or come together

24
Q

Do fibrous joints allow movement

25
Important example of fibrous joint
sutures
26
description of the movement of cartilaginous joints
either immovable or has limited degree of movement
27
example of limited moving cartilaginous joint
between vertebra
28
description of synovial joints
presence of space or capsule between the bones allowing range of movement
29
parts of bone that are in contact are always covered with
hyaline cartilage
30
Describe capsular joint
joint surrounded by a sleeve of fibrous tissue which holds the bones together, protecting from injury
31
What areas of the joint does the synovial membrane cover
all non weight bearing surfaces
32
5 synovial fluid functions
``` nourishes the structure phagocytes lubricant stability keeps bones together ```
33
what are bursa/bursae
sac of synovial fluid in joints that act as a cushion
34
generally synovial bursa contain up to how much fluid
4mm
35
are collapsed synovial bursa visualized
no
36
describe supination
turning palm of hand up
37
describe eversion
turning sole of soot out
38
describe circumduction
movement of limb or digit in the shape of a cone
39
6 types of synovial joints
plane, saddle, hinge, pivot, ball and socket, ellipsoid
40
example of ball and socket
shoulder and hip
41
example of hinge
elbow, knee, ankle, joints in phalanges
42
hinge joints restricted to what movement
extension and flexion
43
description of gliding joint
articular surfaces are mostly flat and glide over one another
44
examples of gliding joints
carpal bones, tarsal bones, spinal vertebra
45
pivot joint main example
head on the C1 vertebra
46
what is a condyle joint
one bone sits in a cup depression of another bone
47
condyle joint examples
joints between metacarpal, phalanges of hand, metatarsal and phalangeal bones of foot
48
saddle joint example
thumb
49
shade joint is like what joint? whats the difference
condyle joint but it has more flexibility
