Q

Where is the ligamentum nuchae found?

A

Between C7 and the base of the skull

24
Q

What is the sternoclavicular joint?

A

A saddle/planar joint between the clavicle and manubrium of the sternum

25
Q

Dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint is possible, but what bone is more likely to break first?

A

Clavicle

26
Q

What is the acromioclavicular joint?

A

A planar joint between the acromion of the scapula and lateral end of the clavicle

27
Q

What are some ligaments that support the acromioclavicular joint?

A

Acromioclavicualar ligaments and coracoclavicular ligament

28
Q

What does the acromioclavicular ligament do?

A

Strengthens the fibrous joint capsule

29
Q

What does the coracoclavicular ligament do?

A

Bind the clavicle to the coracoid process of the scapula and is responsible for most of the stability of the acromioclavicular joint

30
Q

What is the glenohumeral joint?

A

A ball-and-socket joint between the head of the humerus and glenoid cavity of scapula

31
Q

What joint allows the greatest range of motion in the body?

A

Glenohumeral joint

32
Q

Although the shoulder joint is the most mobile, it also the most _____ joint in the body.

A

Unstable

33
Q

What is the glenoid labrum?

A

A covering in the glenoid cavity that deepens the concavity to help stabilize the head of humerus in the glenoid cavity

34
Q

What is the group of muscles that gives most of the strength to the glenohumeral joint?

A

Rotator Cuff muscles (musculotendinous cuff)

35
Q

What are the rotator cuff muscles?

A

Infraspinatus, supraspinatus, subscapularis, teres minor

36
Q

What part of the shoulder joint is not protected by the rotator cuff and is a common site of injury?

A

Inferior area of glenohumeral joint

37
Q

What are three ligaments that support the glenohumeral joint?

A

Coracohumeral, glenohumeral, and transverse humeral ligaments

38
Q

What two articulations are found in the elbow joint?

A

Humeroulnar and humeroradial joints

39
Q

What is the humeroulnar joint?

A

A hinge joint between the trochlea and trochlear notch

40
Q

What is the humeroradial joint?

A

A gliding joint between the capitulum and radial head

41
Q

What ligaments reinforce the articular capsule in the elbow?

A

Radial Collateral Ligament, Ulnar Collateral Ligament, and Annular Ligament

42
Q

What are three ways that the elbow joint may be injured?

A

Center of trochlear notch may break when falling on an outstretched hand, children may fracture their epiphyseal growth plate at distal end of humerus, and elbow may be dislocated by pulling stress

43
Q

Why is the ulna not considered part of the radiocarpal (wrist) articulations?

A

A fibrocartilage articular disk separates the ulna from the radiocarpal joint

44
Q

Where does supination and pronation occur?

A

At the distal and proximal radioulnar joint

45
Q

What are metacarpophalangeal joints?

A

Condyloid joints between metacarpals 2-5 and the 2-5 phalanges

46
Q

What are interphalangeal joints?

A

Hinge joints between the phalanges

47
Q

Supporting ligaments are not found in what area of interphalangeal joints that increase the likelihood of injuries?

A

Posterior area

48
Q

What is the acetabulofemoral joint?

A

A ball-and-socket joint between head of femur and acetabulum of os coxa

49
Q

Why is the coxal joint more stable than the shoulder joint?

A

The bony architecture is stronger and more stable, and it supports the body

50
Q

What is the acetabular labrum?

A

A lining in the acetabulum and rings the femur as they articulate

51
Q

What supports the hip joint?

A

Strong fibrous articular capsule, several ligaments, and powerful muscles

52
Q

What does the articular capsule do in the acetabulofemoral joint?

A

Prevents the head of femur from moving away from the acetabulum

53
Q

What are the retinacular fibers?

A

Ligamentous fibers of articular capsule that provide additional stability in the hip

54
Q

What are the retinacular arteries?

A

Branches of the deep femoral artery that supply most of the blood to the head and neck of femur

55
Q

What is the ligamentum teres?

A

A tiny ligament that originates on the acetabulum and attaches to the center of the head of the femur that contains an artery that supplies some blood to the head of femur
