ANAT NOTES 9 PART 1 Flashcards
anywhere there are joints…
there can be arthiritis
functional classification of joints
Synarthroses - immovable; common in axial
Amphiarthrosis - slightly movable; common in axial
Diarthroses - freely movable; common in appendicular (all synovial joints)
structural classification of joints
- Fibrous
- Cartilaginous
- Synovial
Fibrocartilage
unites bones; resists tension and compression
some synovial joints contain an…
articular disc
symphyses
slightly movable joints that provide strength with flexibility (intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis)
movements allowed by synovial joints
- gliding
- angular movement
- rotation
gliding
one bone across the surface of another
angular movement
movements change the angle between bones
rotation
movement around a bone’s long axis
angular movements include
- Flexion and extension
- Abduction and adduction
- Circumduction
maximum rotation?
45 degrees
plane joint movement
nonaxial (intertarsal and intercarpal joints)
hinge joints movement
uniaxial - allows movement around one axis only
elbow, ankle, and joints between phalanges
how many muscles is the rotator cuff made of and their associated tendons?
4
- Subscapularis
- Supraspinatus
- Infraspinatus
- Teres minor
