Gross Anatomy - Practical 1 Flashcards
Define the types of major joints according to the structural and functional classification of the upper limb?
Sternoclavicular Joint = saddle synovial joint (acts as ball-and-socket).
Acromioclavicular Joint = plane synovial joint.
Shoulder Joint = ball-and-socket synovial joint.
Elbow Joint = hinge synovial joint.
Proximal Radio-Ulnar Joint = pivot synovial joint.
Distal Radio-Ulnar Joint = pivot synovial joint.
Middle Radio-Ulnar Joint = fibrous syndesmosis joint.
Radiocarpal (wrist) Joint = condyloid synovial joint
Carpometacarpal Joint of Thumb = saddle synovial joint
2nd to 5th Carpometacarpal Joints = plane synovial joints.
Metacarpophalangeal Joints = condyloid synovial joints.
Interphalangeal Joints = hinge synovial joints.
Define the major types of the lower limb according to the structural and functional classification?
Hip Joint = ball-and-socket synovial joint.
Pubic Symphysis = secondary cartilaginous joint.
Knee Joint = modified hinge synovial joint, plane synovial joint.
Proximal Tibiofibular Joint = plane synovial joint.
Middle Tibiofibular Joint = fibrous syndesmosis joint.
Distal Tibiofibular Joint = very strong fibrous joint.
Ankle Joint = hinge synovial joint.
Tarsometatarsal Joint = plane synovial joints.
Metatarsophalangeal Joints = condyloid synovial joints.
Interphalangeal Joints = hinge synovial joints.
Identify the subdivisions of the nervous system?
Hippocampus = memory function and spatial navigation.
Amygdala = regulates emotions relative to survival and threat (e.g anger).
Thalamus = relay sensory and motor information to cerebral cortex.
Hypothalamus = maintain homeostasis in the body.
Basal ganglia = regulates voluntary motor control.
Limbic lobe = integrates emotions, memories and behaviours.
