Q

Synovial joints

A

Structural classification
bones separated by a fluid-containing cavity
Most joints are this kind

17
Q

Synarthrosis

A

Functional classification of joints
Immovable joint
Held together by dense fibrous connective tissue

18
Q

Amphiarthrosis

A

Functional classification of joints
Slightly movable joint
Separated by cartilage

19
Q

Diathrosis (synovial joints)

A

Functional classification of joints
Freely moveable joine
Most joints are this type

20
Q

4 things synovial joints consist of

A 
Articular cartilage (surface of each end of the joining bones)
Joint Capsule (fibrous connective tissue encloses the joint in a strong sleeve-like covering)
Synovial Membrane (line Inner surfaces of joint cavity, secretes synovial fluid into cavity)
Synovial Fluid (eases friction)
21
Q

Types of synovial joints (6)

A 
Plane (wrist, ankle bones)
Hinge (elbow, fingers, toes)
Pivot (proximal radioulnar joints)
Condyloid (metacarpophalangeal joints/knuckles)
Saddle (carpometacarpal joint of thumb)
Ball and socket (shoulder, hip)
22
Q

Flexion

A

type of synovial joint movement

Bending of a joint that decreases the angle

23
Q

Extension

A

type of synovial joint movement

Straightening of a joint that increases angle

24

A

type of synovial joint movement

Lifting your foot towards your leg

26
Q

Hyperextension

A

type of synovial joint movement

A

type of synovial joint movement

Turning your hand so that the palm faces downward

33
Q

A

type of synovial joint movement

Combination of movements
