Joints 2 Flashcards
what is a joint’s range of motion (stability/strength) determined by? (4) (ASAA)
1) the amount and shape of the articulating bones, cartilages and fat pads
2) strength and location of tendons, ligaments and muscles that cross a joint
3) amount of fluid in/around a joint and pain in a joint
4) amount of use/disuse of a joint
where is the talocural joint located?
between the tibia, fibula and talus
how are types of movement at joint presented?
from the anatomical position, usually in pairs
when the palms turn to face anterior
supination
what 5 ligaments stabalize the coxal joint? (IPITL)
1) iliofemoral
2) pubofemoral
3) ischiofemoral
4) transverse acetabular
5) ligament of the head of the femur
what is the structure of the knee? (2) (CP)
1) the condyles of the femur roll across the tibial condylar surface
2) the patella glides across the anterior surface of the femur
what is the ankle stabalized by?
the articulating bones and ligaments
what type of joint is the ankle (talocural) joint?
a hinge joint
what does the shoulder (glenohumeral) joint have?
great range of motion and is triaxial
when calcium levels are high is osteoblasts activated or deactivated?
activated
what is an example of a joint that has hyaline cartilage?
intercarpal joints
moves the toes superiorly which is flexion of the ankle
dorsiflexion
what type of movement is the special movement elevation?
a superior movement
what role does the lateral and medial menisci play for the femur and tibia? ((3) (ACP)
1) act as cushions
2) conform as the articulating surgaces change
3) provide lateral stability
extension past the anatomical position
hyperextension
where is the acetabulum on the coxal joint?
deep and enlarged somewhat by the acetabular labrum
what is the structure of the articular capsule on the coxal joint?
it’s strong and encloses the head and neck of the femur
what is a synostosis?
when a suture becomes fully ossified. results when 2 bones grow together across a joint to form a single bone
moves the toes inferiorly which is extension of the ankle
plantar flexion
moves the end of an appendage in a circle
circumduction
what type of movement is protraction?
anterior
when the palms turn to face posterior
pronation
what is the inferior compartment of TMJ?
a hing joint (depression and elevation)
which tendons and muscles are the glenohumeral joint primarily stabalized by?
the tendons and muscles comprising the rotator cuff
what is the shoulder joint primarily stabalized by?
muscles that move the humerus
movement in the sagittal plane that decreases the angle between articulating elements
flexion
what type of movement is reposition?
moving the thumb toward the finger back
what occurs during lateral rotation?
the anterior surface of a limb rotates away from the longitudinal axis of the body
movement away from the axis of the body or fingers or toes from the midline of the frontal plane
abduction
what type of bone cells acts to concentrate calcium and phosphate ions leading to formation of hydroxyapatite?
osteoblasts
