Joints Flashcards
types of movement
uniaxial- one possible movement axis
biaxial- two possible movement axis
multiaxial
Joint axis
anterioposterior front to back
horizontal left to right
longnitude- vertical or legnth of bone
fibrous joint
fibrous tissue joins bone no mobility
suture- less tissue- less movable
syndemsmosis- forearm
synovial joint
freely mobile
bones lined with articulate cartledge
synovial joint types
saddle
plane
condyloid
ball and socket
hinge
eplisoid
cartledginous
primary/ synchondrosis
found at epiphysaeal plate
seconrdary/ symphsis
fibrocartledge disc
joint
union between 2 or more bones
synovial joint structures
bone shaped to fit
bones covered in articulate cartledge
fibrous capsul- unite bones/ maintain shape
synovial membrane secret synovial fluid
synivoal fluid lubricate
ligaments stabilsie joint
bursae
fluid fillled sacs
around joint reduce friction as structure slides
located between strucutres
articulate disc
fibrocartledge pad
shock absorob
improve articulate surface
assit lube
flexion
decrease joint angle
extention
increase joint angle
adduction
towards the midline
abduction
away from the midline
pronation
palms facing down
