1.4 musculoskeletal system Flashcards
Name 2 different types of joints?
- ball and socket
- hinge
Name the joint and the articulating bones around the ankle
- hinge
- talus, tibia and fibula
Name the joint and the articulating bones around the knee
- hinge
- femur, tibia
Name the joint and the articulating bones around the hip
- ball and socket
- femur, pelvis
Name the joint and the articulating bones around the shoulder
- ball and socket
- humerus, scapula
Name the joint and the articulating bones around the elbow
- hinge
- humerus, radius and ulna
What are the 3 planes and axes in pairs?
FTS,SLT
- frontal plan, sagittal axis
- transverse plane, longitudinal axis
- sagittal plane, transverse axis
How does each plane divide the body?
- sagittal plane divides the body into left and right
- frontal plane divides the body into front and back
- transverse plane divides the body into top and bottom
Where does each axes run?
- transverse axis runs from side to side across the body
- sagittal axis runs from front to back
- longitudinal axis runs from top to bottom
What joint actions take place in the sagittal plane, transverse axis?
- flexion
- extension
- plantar-flexion
- dorsi-flexion
- hyper-extension
What joint actions take place in the frontal plane and sagittal axis?
- abduction
- adduction
What joint actions take place in the transverse plane and longitudinal axis?
- rotation
- horizontal abduction
- horizontal adduction
What is flexion and extension?
Flexion= decreasing the angle at between the bones of the joint Extension= increasing the angle at between the bones of the joint
What is hyper-extension?
Increasing the angle between the bones of the joint beyond 180 degrees
What is abduction and adduction?
Abduction= movement of a limb away from the midline of the body Adduction= movement of a limb towards the midline of the body
