Kinesiology

Question 1

Amphiarthrotic

Answer 1

Cartilaginous
Slightly movable
EX: pubic symphysis, between vertebrae, distal tibiofibular joint

Question 2

Synarthrotic

Answer 2

Fibrous
Nearly immovable
Ex: skull sutures

Question 3

Diarthrotic

Answer 3

Synovial joints
Freely movable
Joints with synovial fluid

Question 4

Ball and socket joint

Answer 4

Diarthrotic-synovial
Largest ROM
movement in many directions (circumduction)
Ex: glenohumeral joint, acetabulum joint

Question 5

Gliding joint

Answer 5

Diarthrotic-synovial
Bones slide past each other.
Ex: between carpals, between tarsals, acromioclavicular joints
Flat plates

Question 6

Condyloid joint

Answer 6

Diarthrotic- synovial
convex/concave
Allows movement in 2 planes
flexion/extension and laterally
Ex: metacarpophalangeal joint, between occiput and C1

Question 7

Hinge joint

Answer 7

Diarthrotic- synovial
Allows movement in 1 plane
flexion/extension
Ex” elbow, knee, between phalanges

Question 8

Pivot joint

Answer 8

Diarthrotic- synovial
Allows rotational movement
Ex: between C1&C2, between radius and ulna

Question 9

Saddle joint

Answer 9

Diarthrotic- synovial
Allows movement in many directions
Ex: carpometacarpal joint of thumb

Question 10

Agonist muscle

Answer 10

Primary mover

Question 11

Antagonist muscle

Answer 11

Muscle that opposes the action of another

Question 12

Synergist muscle

Answer 12

Assists the agonist

Question 13

Concentric contraction

Answer 13

Muscle contraction in which the muscle shortens and the attachment sites of the muscle move closer together

Question 14

eccentric contraction

Answer 14

Muscle contraction in which the distance between the muscle attachments increases and the muscle effectively gets longer
