Chapter 7; Bio 210 (Joints and Kinesiology) Flashcards
Articulate
to join
Skeletal Articulation
- two or more bones
- bone and teeth
- bone and cartilage
Arthrology
study of articulations (also known as joints)
Kinesiology
study of body movement (occurs at joints)
Greater Movement =
less strength
Synarthrotic Joint
immovable joint (sutures of skull)
Amphiarthrotic Joint
slight movable (pubic symphesis and ribs)
Diarthrotic Joint
freely movable (synovial joints)
3 Functional Classifications of joints
synarthrotic (fibrous joint)
amphiarthrotic (cartilaginous joint)
diarthrotic (synovial joint)
3 Structural Classifications
-classified by how it moves, not what it's made of fibrous joint (little or no movement) cartilaginous joint (slightly movable) synovial joint (freely movable)
Bursa
comfort of the ligament
PG 181 textbook KNOW IT!
