Final Exam Flashcards
Purpose of the skeletal system
- To protect internal organs
- To provide rigid kinematic links
- To provide muscle attachment sites
- To facilitate muscle action and body mov’t (support weight)
- To contain marrow which manufactures red blood cells
A kinematic chain is:
- A series of successive (adjoined and articulating) segments
- A series of single jt segments
What are the 3 jt, types
- Syathrotic
- Amphiarthrotic (cartilagiorous)
- Diarthrotic
Syathrotic jt
no mov’t; edges of the bone are united by a thin layer of fibirous tissue
-EX: SKULL
Amphiarthrotic jt
slightly moveable, permite mov’t in bending and twisting motion
EX: vertebrae, tibiofibular jt
Diarthrotic jt Definition
free moveable
Characteristics:
1. an articular cavity is present
2. jt is enclosed w/in a synovial capsule
3. capsule is lined w/ synovial membrane
4. articular surfaces are sovered w/ hyaline cartilage
Diarthrotic jt Classifications
- Irregular
- Hinge
- Pivot
- Condyloid
- saddle
- Ball and Socket
Irregular jt
EX: CARPALS/TARSALS
- irregularly shaped/usually flat
- planar mov’t only
- non-axial (0 rotational degrees)
- mov’t is of gliding nature
Hinge jt
EX: ELBOW/KNEE
- concave surfaces rotates around a convex protuberance
- mov’t in 1 plane about 1 axis
- uniaxial (1 rotational degree)
- mov’t is flexion/ext
Pivot jt
EX: C1-C2/ RADIAL-ULNAR JT
- characterized by a peg like pivot OR as a long bone rolls about another one on the long axis of the bone
- mov’t is on 1 plane about 1 axis
- uniaxial (1 roational degree)
- mov’t includes rotation
Condyloid jt
EX: WRIST/ANKLE
- jt surfaces: concave/convex
- mov’t is on 2 planes about 2 axes
- biaxial (2 rotational degrees)
- mov’t includes: flex/ext, add/abd
Saddle jt
EX: CARPOMETACARPAL JT OF 1ST DIGIT
- mov’t can occur in 2 planes/axes
- biaxial (2 rotational degrees)
- mov’t is: flex/ext, add/abd, circumduction
- condyloid jt w/ greater ROM*
Ball and Socket jt
EX: HIP/SHOULDER
- a spherical protuberance is fitted in a concave cavity
- mov’t is in 3 planes/axes
- Triaxial (3 rotational degrees)
- mov’t includes: flex/ext, add/abd, rotation
When moving is the saggital plane, what axis does motion occur on?
Frontal/transverse, bilateral, medio-lateral
When motion occurs on the bilateral axis, what plane is the motion occurring in?
Saggital, median, antero-posterior
When motion occurs in the frontal plane, what axis does the motion occur in?
Antero-posterior, saggital/transverse
When motion occurs on the antero-posterior axis, what plane does the motion occur in?
Frontal, coronal
When motions occurs in the transverse plane, what axis does the motion occur on?
Saggital frontal, vertical, polar
When motion occurs on the vertical axis, what plane does the motion occur in?
Transverse, horizonal plane
