25
movements: circumduction and eg.
combo of multiple movements, circular | eg. shoulder and hip joint
26
movements: elevation and eg
``` temporomandibular joint (chin) moving chin towards close mouth ```
27
movements: depression and eg
temporomandibular joint (chin) moving jaw downwards
28
movements: protraction and eg
temporomandibular joint (chin) pushing jaw forwards
29
movements: retraction and eg
temporomandibular joint (chin) pushing jaw backwards
30
movements: inversion and eg
tilting foot medially, intertarsal joints
31
movements: eversion and eg
tilting foot laterally while flat, intertarsal joints
32
movements: dorsiflexion and eg
pointing toes upwards, ankle joint
33
movements: plantar flexion and eg
pointing toes down, ankle joint
34
movements: pronation and eg
palm is facing backwards, radioulnar joint
35
movements: supination and eg
palm facing forwards, radioulnar joint
36
movements: opposition and eg
fingers bent towards each other, forming 'o' | carpometacarpal joint
37
how to classify joints:
presence/ absence of space between bones, synovial cavity, type of c.t. binding the bones
38
fibrous joints: features/ eg
no SC, dense irregular c.t. - sutures - syndesmoses - interosseous membranes
39
cartilaginous: features/ eg
no SC, bones held together cartilage - synchondroses - sympheses
40
synovial: features/ eg
yes SC, dense irregular ct. (articular capsule), accessory ligaments (helping) - ball and socket - hinge - pivot - condyloid - planar - saddle
41
suture: features/ eg
- FIBROUS JOINT - thin layer of dense irregular c.t. - short distance btw bones - irregular interlocking edges - coronal suture (ligament) synostosis (fusion of 2 bones) may occur
42
syndesmoses: features/ eg
- FIBROUS JOINT - thicker layer of dense irregular ct. - greater distance btw bones - periodontal ligament (tooth and mandible)
43
interosseous membrane: features/ eg
- FIBROUS JOINT thick sheet of dense irregular ct. binding bones - tibia/ fibula - radius/ ulna
44
synchondroses: features/ eg
CARTILAGENOUS - primary cartilaginous - bones connected> hyaline cartilage - epiphyseal plates - 1st rib and sternum
45
symphyses: features/ eg
CARTILAGENOUS - secondary cartilaginous/ fibrocartilaginous - articular surface covered in hyaline cartilage - joined by fibrocartilage - intervertebral discs - pubic symphyses
46
synovial joints: features/ eg
space between articular surface (c. hyaline cartilage) synovial cavity -> synovial fluid - knuckle bone
47
articular joint capsule: features
SYNOVIAL JOINT - 2 layers: fibrous mem (outer) - dense irreg. ct. attached to periosteum - strengthened by intrinsic ligaments synovial mem (inner) - areolar connective tissue - elastic fibres secretes synovial fluid
48
extrinsic ligaments: features
SYNOVIAL JOINT - FIBROUS CAPSULE - extracapsular/ intracapsular
49
articular discs: features
SYNOVIAL JOINT - FIBROUS CAPSULE - menisci (crescent shaped) - fibrocartilage btw articular surfaces in some joints - lateral/ medial meniscus
50
labrum: features/ eg
SYNOVIAL JOINT - ring of fibrocartilage deepens socket - acetabulum (concave surface) of ischium bone -> scapular
51
bursa/tendon sheath: features/ eg
SYNOVIAL JOINT - reduce friction, protect soft tissue - bursa: sac like structure with fluid (eg. shoulder/knee joint) - tendon sheath: tube-like bursa (eg. wrist and fingers)
52
planar (plane) joints: features/ type of movement/ eg
- flat/ curved articular surface - gliding/ sliding on BIAXIAL plane - intertarsal, intercarpal
53
hinge joints: features/ type of movement/ eg
- convex/concave art surfaces - flexion/ extension UNIAXIAL - knee (modified), elbow, ankle
54
condyloid joints: features/ type of movement/ eg
- oval shaped- convex/concave art surface - flexion/extension, abduction/adduction BIAXIAL - carpal, metacarpophalangeal joints
55
saddle joints: features/ type of movement/ eg
- modified condyloid saddle art surface - flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, circumduction BIAXIAL - carpometarcarpal (btw trapesium/ metarcarpal of thumb)
56
pivot joints: features/ type of movement/ eg
- rounded/ pointed art surface and ring (bone/ligament) - rotation around central axis UNIAXIAL - medial atlantoaxial, proximal radioulnar joint
57
ball and socket joints: features/ type of movement/ eg
- spherical surface into cup-like depression (socket) - flexion/extension, adduction/abduction, rotation TRIAXIAL - shoulder/ hip joints
58
knee joint: list all ligaments and location
- fibular collateral L, lateral of patella (updown side) - tibial collateral L, medial of patella (updown side) - oblique popliteal L (diagonal middle) - posterior cruciate L (PCL) (middle cross from back-> front) - anterior cruciate L (ACL) (middle cross from front-> back) - patella ligament (anterior updown) btw femur/ tibia)
59
knee joint: menisci and location
- medial, towards tibia | - lateral, towards fibula
