Q

describe a bony joint (synostosis) and name an example

A

an immovable joint formed when the gap between 2 bones ossify

synostosis means the fusion of 2 bones

ex. illium, ischium, and pubis fuse to form coxal hip bone

Q

what are syndesmoses?

A

fibrous joints where two bones are connected by long collagen fibers (the length of the fibers make the joint more mobile)

Q

what are the accessory structures associated with synovial joints?

A
  • tendon (attaches muscle to bone)
  • ligament (attaches bone to bone)
  • bursa (cushions muscles)
  • tendon sheath (elongated bursa wrapped around a tendon

Q

how does exercise affect articular cartilage?

A

exercise allows the cartilage to absorb synovial fluid more easily which allows it to be a more effective cushion

Q

what is a subluxation?

Study These Flashcards
A

a partial dislocation

19
Q

what is the only multiaxial joint in the body?

Study These Flashcards
A

ball and socket

20
Q

which joints are biaxial?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • condylar (ellipsoid) joints (wrist)
  • saddle joints (thumb)
  • plane (gliding) joints (ankle)
21
Q

which joints are monoaxial?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • hinge joints (knee)
  • pivot joints (elbow)
22
Q

what is the difference between flexion and extension?

Study These Flashcards
A

flextion: movement that decreases a joint angle <

extension: movement that straightens a joint and returns body part to zero position _

23
Q

what is hyperextension?

Study These Flashcards
A

extension of a joint past the zero position

24
Q

what is the difference between abduction and adduction?

Study These Flashcards
A

abduction: movement in the frontal plane away from the midline (lift arms up from the side)

adduction: movement in the frontal plane back towards the midline (move arm down to your side)

25
what is the difference between elevation and depression?
elevation: movement that raises a body part vertically in the frontal plane (lifting your shoulders up) depression: movement that lowers a body part in the same place (lowering your shoulders)
26
what is the difference between protraction and retraction?
protraction: anterior movement of a body part in the horizontal plane (bringing your shoulders forward) retraction: posterior movement (bringing your shoulders back)
27
describe what circumduction is
one end is stationary while the other end makes a circular motion (rotate your arm)
28
what are the different types of rotation?
rotation: movement which a bone spins on its longitudinal axis medial (internal) rotation: turns the bone inward lateral (external) rotation: turns the bone outwards
29
what is the difference between supination and pronation?
**primarily forearm movements supination: turns palm to face upwards (ulna and radius are parallel) pronation: turns palm to face downward (ulna and radius cross like an X)
30
what movements allow for us to eat?
protraction, retraction, elevation, and depression
31
what is the difference between opposition and reposition?
**movements of the thumb opposition: thumb moves to approach the tip of another finger reposition: return of thumb to the zero position
32
what is the difference between dorsiflexion and plantar flexion?
dorsiflexion: elevating your toes upwards (taking a step) plantar flexion: extending foot downwards so your toes point down (tip-toe)
33
what is the difference between inversion and eversion?
inversion: movement in which the soles are turned medially (praying with your feet) eversion: movement in which the soles are turned laterally (stanky leg but with your foot)
34
what is the jaw joint called, and what are the 2 ligaments that support it?
temporomandibular joint mandible with the mandibular fossa of temporal bone - lateral ligament - sphenomandibular ligament
35
what is the shoulder joint called?
glenohumeral (humeroscapular) joint
36
what is the glenoid labrum?
fibrocartilage ring that deepends the glenoid cavity
37
what is the rotator cuff of the shoulder joint?
tendons of four muscles fused to provide support for the shoulder
38
what 2 articulations does the elbow have?
- humeroulnar joint: trochlea of the humerus joints trochlear notch of ulna - humeroradial joint: capitulum of humerus meets head of radius
39
what ligament is associated with the coxal (hip) joint?
round ligament attaches the head of femur to the acetabulum of the hip bone
40
what is the knee joint also called?
tibiofemoral (knee) joint, which is the hinge joint between the femur and tibia
41
what is a patellofemoral joint?
patella and patellar ligament articulate with femur, forming a gliding patellofemoral joint
42
what absorbs shock in the knee?
the lateral and media menisci, which is joined by the transverse ligament
43
what is the posterior popliteal region supported by? and what does it do?
extracapsular ligaments: fibular (lateral) and tibial (medial) collateral ligaments which prevents the knee from rotating when extended intracapsular ligaments: ACL (prevents hyperextension) and PCL (prevents posterior displacement of tibia relative to femur)
44
what is arthritis?
inflammation of joints
