Joints

Question 1

What gives the bones of synovial joint the ability to move smoothly against each other?

Answer 1

Joint cavity is filled with synovial fluid thus the articulating bone surfaces are not directly connected to each other.

Question 2

Type of body movements at the ankle joint, which is a hinge joint.

Answer 2

Dorsiflexion and Plantar Flexion

Question 3

The scientific study of joints.

Answer 3

Arthrology

Question 4

The embryonic tissue that gives rise to all bones, cartilages, and connective tissues of the body.

Answer 4

Mesenchyme

Question 5

Is any place where adjacent bones or bone and cartilage come together (articulate with each other) to form a connection

Answer 5

Joint (articulation)

Question 6

Are the type of body movement that are downward and upward movements of the scapula or mandible.

Answer 6

Depression and Elevation

Question 7

Are the type of body movement that are anterior-posterior movements of the scapula or mandible.

Answer 7

Protraction and Retraction

Question 8

Are a type of body movement that take place within the sagittal plane and involve anterior or posterior movement of the neck, trunk, or limbs. Decrease and Increase.

Answer 8

Flexion and Extension

Question 9

Are a type of body movement that are complex movements that involve the multiple plane joints.

Answer 9

Inversion and Eversion

Question 10

Are a type of body movement of the scapula and are defined by the direction of movement of the glenoid cavity.

Answer 10

Superior and Inferior Rotation

Question 11

A wide sheet of connective tissue.

Answer 11

Interosseous membrane

Question 12

A type of body movement within the vertebral column, at a pivot joint, or at a ball and socket joint. Rotates/Twists.

Answer 12

Rotation

Question 13

A type of body movement wherein movement of a body region is in a circular manner, in which one end of the body region being moved stays relatively stationary while the other end describes a circle.

Answer 13

Circumduction

Question 14

A type of body movement that occur within the coronal plane and involve medial-lateral motions of the limbs, fingers, toes, or thumb. Away or back to/from midline.

Answer 14

Abduction and Adduction

Question 15

A type of body movement from side to side movement of the mandible.

Answer 15

Excursion

Question 16

A synovial joint wherein a rounded portion of a bone is enclosed with a ring formed partially by the articulation with another bone and partially a ligament.

Answer 16

Pivot Joint

Question 17

A synovial joint where the shallow depression at the end of one bone articulates with a rounded structure from an adjacent bone or bones. Movement is bending and straightening, side to side movement.

Answer 17

Condyloid Joint

Question 18

A synovial joint where the convex end of one bones articulates with the concave end of the adjoining bone. Allows only for bending and straightening motions.

Answer 18

Hinge joint

Question 19

A synovial joint where both articulating surfaces for the bones have a saddle shape.This allows the two bones to fit together like a rider siting on a saddle. Movement is what give humans their distinctive opposable thumbs.

Answer 19

Saddle joint

Question 20

A synovial joint that is also known as gliding joint, the articulating surfaces of the bones are flat or slightly curved and of approximately the same size, which allows the bones to slide against each other. Motion is usually small and tightly constrained.

Answer 20

Plane joint

Question 21

A structural joint where the bones are joined by hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage.

Answer 21

Cartilaginous Joint

Question 22

A structural joint where the articulating surfaces of the bones are not directly connected, instead come in contact with each other within a joint cavity that is filled with a lubricating fluid.

Answer 22

Synovial Joint

Question 23

A structural joint where the adjacent bones are united by fibrous connective tissue (either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage). Tough but flexible.

Answer 23

Fibrous Joint

Question 24

A narrow band of fibrous connective tissue.

Answer 24

Ligament

Question 25

A fluid filled space within adjacent bones. Key structural characteristic for synovial joint.

Answer 25

Joint Cavity

Question 26

A fibrous joint wherein bones are more widley separated but are held together by ligaments.

Answer 26

Syndesmosis Joint

Question 27

A fibrous joint that is narrow and between the roots of a tooth and the bony socket in the jaw into which the tooth fits

Answer 27

Gomphosis

Question 28

A fibrous joint found between most bones of the skull

Answer 28

Suture

Question 29

6 types of synovial joint

Answer 29

Pivot
Hinge
Condyloid
Saddle
Plane
Ball and Socket

Question 30

3 types of fibrous joints

Answer 30

Suture
Syndesmosis
Gomphosis

Question 31

3 Structural Classification of Joints

Answer 31

Fibrous Joint
Cartilaginous Joint
Synovial Joint

Question 32

2 types of Cartilaginous Joints

Answer 32

Synchondrosis (hyaline cartilage)
Symphysis (fibrocartilage)
