surrounds joint capsule with synovial fluid

34
Q

function of synovial fluid

A
  • act as a lubricant

  • reduce wear and tear
35
Q

function of joint capsule

A
  • surrounds and protects joint
  • hold bones tg
36
Q

function of cartilage

A
  • act as a cushion
  • shock absorber
  • reduce friction
37
Q

function of ligaments

A
  • hold bones tg
  • keep them in place
38
Q

injury in ball and socket vs hinge joint

52
Q

role of tibialis anterior

A
  • help with dorsiflexion
  • pull foot toward shin
53
Q

role of tendons in muscle action

A
  • join muscles to bones
  • strong, able to withstand tension created when muscles contract
