Chapter 9 Flashcards
Tibiofibular joint acromio cavicular joint
Amphiarthrosis
In a _______, the round head of one bone rests within a cup shaped depression in another
Ball and socket
Only permit rotation
Ex. C1 and C2 atlas and axis, radial humeral joint
Pivot
Have complex articular faces and fit together like a rider in a saddle
Ex. 1st carpal meta carpal joint
Saddle joint
Have an oval articular face nestled depression on the opposing surface
Ex. Temporal mandibular joint, femoraltibial joint, inter phalangeal joint
Condylar joint
Permit angular motion in a single plane, like the opening and closing of a door
Ex. Flexion and extension, elbow, humerounlar joint, knee, mandible
Hinge joint
Have flattened or slightly curved surfaces that slide across one another, but the amount of movement is very slight
Ex. AC joint, TMJ
Plane or glide joint
Shoulder joint and hip joint are examples of
Ball and socket
Elbow joint, knee joint, ankle joint, and interphalangeal joint are examples of
Hinge joints
The tendon from the quadriceps passes over the anterior surface of the joint and is responsible for extending the knee when the muscle contracts
Anterior stabilizer
Patella tendon
The ______ extend between the femur and the heads of the tibia and fibula. These ligaments reinforce the knee joints posterior surface
Popilteal ligaments
The ____ and the _____ limit the anterior and posterior movement of the tibia and maintain the alignment of the femoral and tibial condyles
Both anterior and posterior stabilizers
Acl and pcl
Reinforces the medial surface of the knee joint
Medial stabilizer
MCL medial collateral ligament
Reinforces the lateral surface
Lateral stabilizer
LCL lateral collateral ligament
Angular and rotational motion
Ex. Shoulder and hip
Circumduction
Decrease the angle between bones
Ex. Elbow fingers knee toes hip spine
Flexion
Increase the angle between bones
Ex. Elbow fingers knee toes hip spine
Extension
Increase the angle of bones beyond anatomical position
Hyperextension
Movement away from the midline
Abduction
