Joint Motion and the Articular System Flashcards
pertaining to, situated on, or affecting the opposite side.
contralateral
situated on or affecting the same side
ipsilateral
relating to the palm of the hand and/or the sole of the foot
volar
toward the nose
rostral
situated toward the tail
caudal
of or relating to the head
cephalic
relating to the palm of the hand
palmar
pertaining to the sole of the foot
plantar
bent inward
varus
bent out; twisted
valgus
How do you name a joint?
by the articulating bones
The knee is also known as…
femoral tibial joint
the elbow made up of what three joints?
humeral ulnar, radial humeral, ulnar radial
little to no movement
synarthroses
freely moveable
diarthorses
what are the two types of synarthroses?
fibrous and cartilaginous
What is the sub-type of diarthorses?
synovial
How are synovial joints classified?
…by motion permitted
movement in all planes ( triplanar)
ball and socket (enarthrosis)
flexion and extension (uniplanar)
hinge/ginglymus
supination, pronation, rotation
pivot/trochoid
all exception rotation and opposition
condyloid
reciprocally convex-concave
saddle
How is degrees of freedom determined?
number of planes range of motion occurs. (ex. 3 planes equal 3 degrees of freedom.)
a combination of 2 motions; flexion and extension.
opposition
a combination of 2 motions; abduction and extension
reposition
what kind of joint if the tibial femoral (knee) since there are 2 planes of motion?
modified hinge joint
How is a joint anatomically described?
- name the joint
- describe the joint
- motions allowed
- planes allowed
- degrees of freedom
Flexion, extension, hyperextension, dorsiflexion, and plantar flexion
Sagittal Plane Movements
Adduction, abduction, radial deviation, and ulnar deviation.
Frontal Plane Movements
Left/Right rotation (of the head, neck, trunk), pronation, supination, circumduction.
Transverse Plane Movements
