Bones and Joints Flashcards
What are the 3 planes of movement
Sagittal, frontal, transverse
distal
furthest away from center of body
lateral
outwards
medial
towards midline
proximal
closest to center of body
unilateral
produced by only one limb
bilateral
both sides of body
cotralateral
opposite side
ipsilateral
same side
which plane of movement gets the least attention
transverse
Bone/Muscle/Weight
lever/effort/load
First class lever
weight and force are op opposite side of lever
example of 1st class lever
elbow joint where lower arm is extended- tricep is force, elbow is fulcrum, hand is load
second class lever
force is applied at one end of the lever, fulcrum at the other end located in the middle is the load
example of 2nd class lever
ankle joint where ball of foot is fulcrum gastrocnemius is effort, resistance is foot pushing to floor
third class lever
effort is applied between load and fulcrum most skeletal muscles
example of third class lever
biceps lifting the forearm, anything carried is the load
which lever is at a mechanical disadvantage
1st
which lever sacrifices speed and ROM
2nd class
Bones and joints of shoulder girdle
acromioclavicular joint, clavicle, sternoclavicular joint, glenohumeral joint, scapula

acromioclavicular joint
scapula and clavicle meet gliding synovial joint at the top of shoulder

sternovlavicular joint
where clavicle articulates with sternum gliding synovial joint w. a cartilaginous disc tha absorbs stress

glenohumeral joint
proximal end of humerus rounded to form ball of shoulder joint which articulates with the glenoid cavity

glenoid cavity
shallow socket at top lateral edge of scapula

scapula
triangular shaped flat bone depression in upper lateral corner forms socket for shoulder joint projection of bone above socket is called acromin

movements in shoulder
ab/adduction, flexion and extension
vertebral column made of
irregular bones with transverse process from each side and posterior process at the rear

Spine
Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar, Sacrum, Coccyx

Atlas and Axis movement
flex, extend, laterally flex, rotation
cervical vertebrae movement
lateral flexion, flexion, extension and rotation
thoracic vertebrae
larger than cervical to support more weight attachment points for each rib
thoracic vertebrae ROM
moderate flexion, extension, lateral flexion, rotation
lumbar vertebrae
largest and strongest to support most weight
lumbar vertebrae mobility
least mobility, limited
sacrum
fused together to form a solid triangular bone at sacroiliac joint
coccyx
fused
joints of elbow and forearm
humerouilna joint, proximal radioulnar joint, humeroradia joint, distal radioulnar joint

olecranon process
prominent bone of elbow- bony projection of ulna

humeroulina joint
pure hinge joint of elbow where humerus articulates with ulna flexion and extension

proximal radioulnar joint
radius & ulna touch to form a point, forearm pronates and supinates, radius pivots around ulna

humeroradial joint
forming lateral part of elbow, humerus articulates with radius pronate and supinate the forearm

distal radioulnar joint
radius and ulna meet again at wrist to form a pivot joint used during pronation and supination

Bones and joints of wrist and hand
wrist joint, carpals, base of thumb, metacarpals, phalanges

wrist joint
condyloid joint
radius and ulna meet carpals
flexion & extension, abdustion, adduction, circumduction
*can’t rotate

carpals
8 short bones make up the first part of the hand
articulates with others with a synovial gliding joint for small movements

base of thumb
saddle joint
allows opposition of thumb and fingers

metacarpals
5 big bits of fingers
condyloid joint at the distal end allowing movement but not rotation

phalanges
3 in each finger
prosimal, medial and distal
hinge joints in between

carpal tunnel syndrome
wrist is hyperextended and repeatedly bumped, can irritate nerves
bones and joints of pelvic girdle
ilium, sacrum, sacroiliac joint, greater tonchonter, hip joint, lesser tronchonter, pubis symphasis, pubic bone, ischium

movements of pelvic girdle
flecion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal and external rotation
Ilium
forms bowl shape of pelvis, protects organs inside
large surfac area for attachment of glutes

sacrum
sits at bottom of vertebral colum

sacroiliac joint
limited movement, most will happen with younger people.
synovial cavity that fuese later in life

greater trochonter
bony prominence on outside of top of femur- attachment point for lots of muscles- mainly hip abductors

hip joint
head of femur and cetabulum
less trochonter
small bony pit inside femur
attachment for psoas major and iliacus

publis symphasis
2 pubic bones curve arouns to form a slightly movable cartilaginous joint

pubic bone
anterior portion of pelvic girdle, adductors originate here

ischium
sits bones, attachments for hamstrings

women are more prone to ___ because ___
hip, knee, ankle and foot issues because angle of femur to knee is less vertical
bones and joints of knee and lower leg
patella, tibia, fibia prepatella bursa, media collateral, cruciate ligaments, meniscus

movement at knee
flexion and extension, internal and external rotation, hinge joint with some rotation while flexed
patella
sesamoi bone that protects knee and helps quads pull at an efficient angle

tibia
thick, weight bearing bone of lower leg

which lower leg bone bears weight
tibia
fibia
thin, non weight breaing bone

prepatellar bursa
fludi filled sac that acts as a cushion
several in the knee, can become inflamed or irritated
medial collateral
inside & outside of knee joint
reinforce and stabilize against side bending but offer less support when bent

cruciate ligaments
diagonally inside knee- help support knee by resisting front and back forces
meniscus
2 crescent shaped pieces of cartilage, medial and lateral meniscae

bones and joints of ankle and foot
calcaneus, talas, sub-talar joint, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges

calcanues
heel
insertion point for achilles tendon

talas
articulates with the tibia and fibia to for ankle joint
hinge joint- dorsi and plantar flexion

sub-talar joint
inferior surface of talus articulates with calcanaues and or ther tarsal bones
inversion and eversion movements originate here

tarsals
instep of foot
similar to carpals
synovial gliding joints to allow give in the foot

metatarsals
more stable than meta carpals but less movement

phalanges
proximal, medial and distal
hinge joint between them

longitudinal arch
front to bak of foot to provide balance and absord shock
transverse arch
from one side of foor to other, toe to toe
