Joints Ch 7 Flashcards
place where bone connects to another is called
joint
bending towards the body or decreasing the angle between the bones or parts of the body
flexion
straightening away from the body or increasing the angle between the bones or paarts of the body
extension
movement away from the midline
abduction
movement toward the midline
adduction
combo of the 4 preceding motions as is possible with the shoulder joint
circumduction
turing the forearm so the palm of the hand is turned back
pronation
turing the forearm so the palm of the hand is toward the front
supination
this type of joint permits the widest range of motion-flexion, extension, abduction, and rotation (shoulder/hip)
ball and socket joint
(elbow, knee, finger) permits flexion and extension
hinged joint
this type of joint allows for a turning motion, includes the head and neck, 1st and 2nd vertebrae and wrist
pivot joint
simplest movement between bones, where bone slides across another to the point where surrounding structures restrict motion (small bones in hands and feet)
gliding joint
this joint is shaped to permit combinations of limited movements along perpendicular planes (ankle allows the foot to turn inward slightly as it moves up and down
saddle joint
this is a modified ball and socket joint that permits limited motion in two directions (wrists allow hand to move up and down but cannot rotate completely
condyloid joint
