chapter 9 Flashcards
why is synovial fluid important?
Its good at absorbing shock, it also supplies 02 and nutrients while removing co2 and metabolic waste
What are the accessory structures that are part of a synovial joint?
- fat pads
- Joint capsule
- Ligaments
- Bursae
What is bursae?
Bursae are fluid filled structures that cushion shock and minimize friction in the joints
What are the 5 functions of the menisci ?
- Absorbs shock
- Makes a better fitment between 2 articulating joints
- Helps with flexing of joints
- weight distribution
- Forms channels to keep synovial fluid running around joints
What are the 6 synovial joints?
- Planar joint
- Hinge joint
- Pivot joint
- Condyloid joint
- Saddle joint
- Ball-and-socket joint
What type of joint is a Planar joint and where is it found?
These joints are biaxial and triaxial. They are found in the navicular bone, the second and third cuneiform bones. IN THE FOOT
What type of joint is a Hinge joint and where is it found?
Hinge joint is a uniaxial joint. Its found between the trochlea of the humorous and the trochlear notch of the ulna at the elbow.
What type of joint is a Pivot joint and where is it found?
Pivot joint is a uniaxial joint. Its found between the head of the radius and radial notch of the ulna in the elbow.
What type of joint is a condyloid joint and where is it found?
Condyloid joint is a biaxial joint. Its found between the scaphoid, radius and lunate bones of the carpus. (wrist)
What type of joint is a saddle joint and where is it found?
Saddle joint is a biaxial joint. Its found between the trapezium of the carpus (wrist) and the metacarpal of the thumb.
What type of joint is a ball-and-socket and where is it found?
Ball-and-socket is a triaxial joint. Its found between the head of the femur and the acetabulum of the hip bone.
What factors can affect range of motion in joints?
- Shape and structure of the articulating bone
The shape determines how close they fit together. - Strength and tension of muscle and joint ligaments either restrict of permits certain joint movements.
3.Hormones (relaxin) increases flexibility of the pubic symphysis and loosens ligaments between the sacrum and the hip bone. - Disuse of joint may restrict movement .
What are the 4 main categories of joint movement?
- Gliding movement
- Angular movement
- Rotation movement
- Special Movements
What are gliding movements?
Give an example.
Gliding movements are simple back and forth side to side movements. Limited range since there is no angle alterations.
Typically found in the carpus joints (wrist joints)
What are angular movements?
Give an example.
Angular movements are the increase or decrease of angle between bones.
Typically found in the movement between forearm and bicep.
What is flexion?
What type of movement?
Flexion is a decrease in angle.
Angular movement
What is extension?
What type of movement?
Extension is a increase in angle.
Angular movement
What is Abduction?
What type of movement?
Abduction is a movement away from the midline.
Angular movement
What is adduction?
What type of movement?
Adduction is a movement a movement towards the midline.
Angular movement
