#1 Flashcards
Symphysis
Surfaces of bones are covered by hyaline cartilage. Limited movement. Ex: joints between vertebra.
Pronation
Rotation of the forearm so the palm is downward.
Supination
Rotation of the forearm so the palm is upward.
Circumduction
Moving apart so that it’s end follows a circular path.
Rotation
Moving around the axis.
Addiction
Moving closer to the midline.
Abduction
Moving away from the midline.
Plantar flexion
Movement at the ankle, brings foot further away from the shin.
Dorsiflexion
Movement at the ankle. Brings foot closer to the shin.
Hyperextension
Extended beyond the anatomical position.
Extension
Moving apart at a joint, the angles go further apart.
Flexion
Bending parts at a joint, so the angle comes closer together.
Saddle
Both concave and convex regions, one bone fits the complementary surface of another.
Pivot
Cylindrical surface of ones bones articulates with ring of bone and ligament. Rotates. Ex: joints between proximal ends.
Hinge
Convex surface of one bone articulates with concave surface of another. Extension. Ex: elbow.
