27
Q

2 Kinds of Cartilaginous Joints

A

Synchondrosis and Symphesis

28
Q

Synchondrosis

A

Joined by hyaline cartilage (Ex. plates in children)

29
Q

Symphysis

A

Joined by fibrocartilage (Ex. pubic symphysis, vert discs)

30
Q

Synovial Joint aka Diarthrosis

A

joint in which two bones are separated by a joint cavity

31
Q

Joint articular cavity

A

separates articular surfaces

32
Q

joint articular capsule

A

connective tissue that encloses cavity and retains the fluid

33
Q

Lever

A

any elongated, rigid object that rotates around a fixed point called a fulcrum

34
Q

Components of a lever

A

Resistance, Fulcrom, Effort

35
Q

Mechanical Advantage of a Lever

A

The ratio of output force to input force

36
Q

1st class lever

A

Fulcrum in the middle. EFR

37
Q

2nd class lever

A

Resistance in the middle FRE (Bouncing baby on knee)

38
Q

3rd class lever

A

Effort in the middle REF (Most joints. Ex. rowing a boat)

39
Q

Range of Motion (ROM)

A

The degrees through which a joint can move

40
Q

6 classes of synovial joints

A

Ball-and-socket, condylar, saddle, plane, hinge, pivot

41
Q

Zero position

A

the position of a joint when a person is in the standard anatomical position

42
Q

Elevation

A

movement that raises body part vertically in the frontal plane

43
Q

Depression

A

Movement that lowers body part in the frontal plane

44
Q

Protraction

A

The anterior movement of a body part in the transverse (horizontal) plane

45
Q

Retraction

A

Posterior movement of a body part in the transverse (horizontal) plane

46
Q

Circumduction

A

One end of an appendage remains in one spot while the other end makes a circular motion

47
Q

Rotation

A

A bone spins on its longitudinal axis. Medial/Internal rotation turns bone inward. Lateral/External rotation turns the bone outward

48
Q

Lateral Flexion

A

Tilting the head or trunk to the right or left at the midline

49
Q

Lateral Excursion

A

Right or left movement from the zero position

50
Q

Medial Excursion

A

Movement back to the zero position from right or left (Chewing)

51
Q

Palmar abduction

A

Moving thumb away from hand and pointing it anteriorly

52
Q

Radial Abduction

A

Moving thumb away from index finger

53
Q

Flexion of thumb

A

Tip of thumb directed toward palm

54
Q

Extension of thumb

A

Straightening the thumb

Q

Temporomandibular (jaw) joint (TMJ)

A

articulation of the condyle of the mandible with the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone

56
Q

Glenohumeral (humeroscapular) joint

A

Hemispherical head of humerus articulates with glenoid cavity of scapula

57
Q

Elbow—a hinge that includes two articulations

A

Humeroulnar joint: trochlea of the humerus joins trochlear notch of the ulna
Humeroradial joint: capitulum of humerus meets head of radius

58
Q

A

largest and most complex diarthrosis of the body. Hinge Joint

60
Q

Arthroscopy

A

procedure in which interior of joint is viewed with a pencil-thin arthroscope inserted through a small incision

Rheaumatalogist

A

physicians who treat arthritis and other joint disorders

64
Q

Osteoarthritis (OA)—most common form of arthritis

A

Wear-and-tear arthritis”
Results from years of joint wear
Articular cartilage softens and degenerates
Accompanied by crackling sounds called crepitus
Bone spurs develop on exposed bone tissue causing pain

65
Q

Rheaumatoid Arthritis

A

autoimmune attack against the joint tissues

66
Q
