27
Q

What are the three kinds of reinforcing ligaments that may occur?

A

Capsular, extracapsular, intracapsular

28
Q

Capsular

A

Thickened part of capsule

29
Q

Extracapsular

A

Outside the capsule (fibular and tibial collateral ligaments of knee)

30
Q

Intracapsular

A

Inside the capsule (anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments of knee)

31
Q

Articular disc (meniscus)

A

Evens out distribution of compression forces, helps stabilize joint, allows additional movements (jaw)

32
Q

Where is the articular disc?

A

In a few synovial joints

32
Q

What kind of tissue is in the articular disc?

A

Fibrocartilage b/c it adds more collagen for tension resistance

32
Q

Bursae

A

Closed sacs of synovial fluid that prevent friction among structures

33
Q

Bursitis

A

Inflammation of a bursa

34
Q

Tendon sheath

A

A bursa wrapped around a tendon

35
Q

Anterior-posterior axis

A

Anterior to/from posterior

36
Q

Superior-inferior axis

A

Superior to/from inferior

37
Q

Left-right axis

A

Left to/from right

38
Q

Movement around a _____ corresponds to movement within a ______

A

Axis, plane

39
Q

Translational (linear) movement

A

Move in a straight line (no specific plane/axis)

40
Q

Angular movement

A

Change angle between two bone (bending leg), moves around axis

41
Q

Rotation movement

A

Bone moves around its own longitudinal axis (rotating arm forward and back, not changing angle)

42
Q

What are the four linear movements?

A

Elevation, depression, protraction, retraction

43
Q

Elevation

A

Move superiorly (up)

44
Q

Depression

A

Move inferiorly (down)

45
Q

Protraction

A

Move anteriorly (away from face)

46
Q

Retraction

A

Move posteriorly (towards face)

47
Q

What movement does the articular disc use in the jaw?

A

Protraction, retraction

48
Q

Angular movement

A

Change angle between two bones

49
Q

Abduction

A

Move AWAY from midline

50
Q

Adduction

A

Move TOWARD midline

51
Q

Flexion

A

Decrease joint angle (pop leg backward)

52
Q

Extension

A

Increase joint angle (kick leg forward)

53
Q

Circumduction

A

Movement that describes a cone in space (making a circle in air, queen wave, backstroke)

54

A

Dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, inversion, eversion

55
Q

Dorsiflexion

A

Turn foot upward

56
Q

Plantarflexion

A
