Exam Flashcards
Hip Joint
A ball and socket joint, where the head of the femur articulates with the concave acetabulum
What is the difference between the hip and shoulder joint?
They are both a ball and socket joint. But the hip joint is more stable joint than the shoulder because of the bone structure and the number and strength of the muscles and ligaments crossing the joint.
Pelvic Girdle
Two ilia and the sacrum, it can be rotated forward, backward, and laterally to optimize positioning of the hip
Pelvic Tilt
Top of the pelvic bone (illum)
Flexors Hip
Iliacus and psoas major
Hip Extensors
Gluteus Maximus and the hamstrings: biceps Deloris, semimembranosus, and semitendinosus
Abductor Hip
Gluteus medius and gluteus minimus
Adductor Hip
Adductor magnus, adductor longus, adductor brevis (gracilis)
Sternoclavicular joint
Modified ball and socket joint between the proximal clavicle and the manubrium and sternum
Acromioclavicular joint
Irregular joint between the acromion processs of the scapula and the distal clavicle
Coraclavicular joint
Syndesmosis with the coracoid process of the scapula bound to the inferior clavicle by the coracoclavicular ligament
Glenohumeral joint
Ball and socket joint in which the head of the humerus articulates with the glenoid fossa of the scapula
Scapulothoracic joint
Articulation between the anterior scapula and the thoracic wall
Scapulohumeral rhythm
A regular pattern of scapular rotation that accompanies and facilitates numeral abduction
