Q

The movement of the sole laterally at the ankle joint or of an atrioventricular valve into an atrium during ventricular contraction

A

Eversion

23
Q

Q

The study of the movement of body parts

A

Kinesiology

32
Q

Dense regular connective tissue that attaches bone to bone

A

Ligament

33
Q

A synovial joint in which a rounded, pointed, or conical surface of one bone articulates with a ring formed partly by another bone and partly by a ligament, as in the joint between the atlas and axis and between the proximal ends of the radius and ulna. Also called trochoid joint.

A

Pivot joint

34
Q

Bending the foot in the direction of the plantar surface (sole)

A

Retraction

38
Q

Moving a bone around its own axis with no other movement

A

Rotation

39

Synostosis

49
Q

The space between the articulating bones of a synovial joint, filled with synovial fluid. Also called a joint cavity

A

Synovial cavity

50
Q

Secretion of synovial membranes that lubricates joints and nourishes articular cartilage
