joints Flashcards
pelvic joints
pubic symphysis
sacroiliac joint
classifying joints by structure
fibrous
cartilaginous
synovial
classifying joints by function/range of motion
synarthrosis
amphiathroses
diarthrosis
fibrous joint example and description
(Ex. suture, gomphosis, syndesmosis
most moveable
cartilaginous joint ex and description
synchondrosis, symphysis
slightly movable
synovial ex and description
(mon/bi/triaxial)
one direction/ two/ three
synarthrosis joints
immovable
amphiarthroses
slightly moveable
diarthrosis
freely moveable (synovial)
synovial joints have
joint capsule
synovial membrane
synovial fluid
articular cartilage
movements that can occur at synovial joints : gliding
simple movement in which flat bone surfaces move back and forth and from side to side with respect to one another e.g. intertarsal
joints between tarsals or carpals or vertebrae on top of eachother
movements that can occur at synovial joints: angular movements
There is an increase or decrease in the angle between articulating bones.
movements that can occur at synovial joints: flexion…
involves decrease in the angle between articulating bones elbow flexion= radius/ulna and humerus the angle gets smaller
movements that can occur at synovial joints: extension
involves increase in the angle between articulating bones. elbow extension= angle gets larger
Both movements occur along the sagittal plane with a few exceptions such as flexion of the thumb
movements that can occur at synovial joints: abduction and adduction
Abduction (movement away from longitudinal axis) and adduction (movement back to center)
bones revolt around its own longitudinal axis:
medial rotation and lateral rotation
special movements of synovial joints
Elevation
Depression
Protraction(ant in horizontal plane)
Retraction
special movements of synovial joints: foot
Inversion
Eversion
Dorsiflexion
Planter flexion
special movements of radioulnar joint
supination
pronation
special movements of synovial joints (thumb)
opposition/reposition
sub-classification of synovial joints: plane (monaxial)
def and ex
allow only gliding or sliding motion in any direction, back and forth, side to side movements (facet joints, Intercarpal joints and carpometacarpal, SI (sacroiliac joint), SC/AC, sternocostal 2-7)
sub-classification of synovial joints: hinge (monaxial)
produce angular, opening and closing motions, allow only flexion and extension (elbow, knee).
