synovial membrane
What does the blue and green arrows make up
articular capsule
what is this structure
periosteum
Fibrocartilage that extend the articular surface of an articular cavity, by adding a marginal ring or lip
Labrum
What do the two black lines point to
top: Joint cavity (contains synovial fluid)
bottom: articular (hyaline) cartilage
In SOME joints there are fibrous cartilage. What are the 3 types
Labrum
Meniscus
Discos
What is #1 referring to
Labrum
what is an example of a joint with a labrum
Humeral joint (shoulder) &
coxal joint (hip)
Fibrocartilage that help in the adaptation of articular surfaces
allows tibia and femur to interact better
Meniscus (plura=menisci)
what are the yellow arrows pointing to
Meniscus (plura=menisci)
In what joint does each meniscus have crescent moon shape where the
peripheral border is attached to the articular capsule
Genual joint (stifle)
Fibrocartilage that totally separate a joint cavity in two compartments.
Help in the adaptation and movement of the surfaces
Disc (discus)
what is an example of a disc (discus)
Temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ)
What are some geometrical categories of synovial joints
Plane joint
The ball-and-socket or
spheroidal joint
What is #3 pointing to
Disc (discus)
The study of the structure,
arrangement, and action of
muscles
myology
The study of the structure, arrangement, and action of
muscles
Myology
What are the 3 kinds of muscle
- Skeletal (Striated,somatic, or voluntary)
- Cardiac (striated, involuntary)
- Smooth (visceral or involuntary)
What is Fi referring to
Muscular Cell = muscular fiber
What is Fa referring to
Muscle fascicle = group of fibers
Movement of a joint causing an increase in
the joint angle
Extension
Movement of a joint causing reduction in the joint angle
Flexion
Movement of a part in the
motion of a circle
Circumduction
Lateral rotation of the
limbs causing the palmar surface to face medially (carnivores) Anterior primates
Supination
(supla = to beg)
The movement of a part on its long axis
Rotation
Medial rotation of the
limb causing the
palmar surface to face
“caudally”
Pronation
normal anatomy of animal
Movement away from
the median plane
ABduction
Muscle(s) that oppose the agonist muscles action.
Antagonist
Muscle(s) that produces an action.
In this group the main muscle can be named as primer mover
Agonist
Movement toward
the median plane
ADDuction
Helper muscle(s) of the agonist muscles
Synergist
What are 2 examples of connective tissue that prevent friction between tendons and hard surfaces
