Joints And Their Moving

Question 1

Joint definition

Answer 1

A place where 2 or more bones meet

Question 2

What are the 3 types of joints

And say what they mean

Answer 2

Fibrous> fixed
Cartilaginous > slightly moveable
Synovial > freely moveable

Question 3

What type of bones meet at a synovial joint

Answer 3

Articulating bones

Two or more bones meet for movement

Question 4

Where are synovial joints in the body

Answer 4

Shoulder
Knee
Hip
Ankle

Question 5

What and where are ball and socket joints

Answer 5

At shoulders and hips
Most moveable joint in body
Draw picture

Question 6

What type of joint is at and elbow knee and ankle

Explain this joint

Answer 6

Hinge joint

Only move in 1 direction

Question 7

What type of movements do hinge joints allow

At each joint

Answer 7

Flexion and extension at knee and elbow

At ankle it’s plantar flexion and dorsiflexion

Question 8

What types of movement are used at the ball and socket joints

Answer 8

Rotation 
Abduction 
Addiction 
Flexion 
Extension

Question 9

Explain the movements of extension and flexion

Answer 9

Extension = increase in angle so getting bigger/longer 
Flexion = decrease in angle so bending

Question 10

Explain the movements of abduction, adduction and rotation

Answer 10

Abduction = movement of bones away from the body so being taken away

Adduction = movement of bones towards the body’s midline so adding on

Rotation = a circular movement around a joint or axis so to rotate

Question 11

Explain plantar flexion and dorsiflexion

Answer 11

Plantar flexion = movement at ankle joint which increases the angle at joint so pointing toes

Dorsiflexion = movement at ankle joint which flexes foot upwards decreasing the angle so like holding a door open

Question 12

Name all the structures in the synovial joint

Answer 12

Joint capsule 
Synovial membrane 
Tendon 
Bursae 
Patella 
Synovial fluid 
Ligaments
