Lab 3 - Articulations Flashcards
what is the articulation of the atlanto-occipital joint?
occipital condyles of occipital bone + superior articular facts of atlas (C1)
what are the movements of the atlanto-occipital joint?
- yes joint*
- flexion- movement of head in anterior + inferior direction
- extension- movement of head in posterior and inferior direction
what are the articulations of the atlanto-axial joint?
- inferior articular facts of atlas (C1) + superior articular facets of axis (C2)

what is the feature of the atlanto-axial joint?
transverse ligament
- holds dens of axis against the anterior arch of the atlas
- helps hold bones together
transverse ligament of the atlanto-axial joint
what are the movements of the atlanto-axial joint?
- *no joint
- left rotation- rotating head so you look left
- right rotation- rotating head so you look right
what is the articulation of an intervertebral joint?

- supraspinous ligament
hole on lateral sides between two adjacent vertebrae
intervertebral foramen of intervertebral joints
- large opening formed by articulation of all vertebral foramen along spinal column
- posterior to bodies
vertebral canal of intervertebral joints
- between bodies of adjacent vertebrae
- absorb shock
intervertebral disc of intervertebral joints
tougher, fibrocartilaginous ring that makes up the periphery of the intervertebral disc
annulus fibrosus of intervertebral joints
- jelly-like center of the intervertebral disc
- “herniated disc”
nucleus pulposus of intervertebral joints
from superior to inferior along the anterior side of vertebral bodies
anterior longitudinal ligament of intervertebral joints
- courses from superior to inferior along posterior side of bodies
- inside vertebral canal
posterior longitudinal ligament of intervertebral joints
- on posterior side of vertebral canal
- on inside of lamina and spinous processes
ligamentum flavum of intervertebral joints
- located along the length of the vertebral column just superficial to the spinous processes
- outside vertebral column
supraspinous ligament of intervertebral joints
what are the movements of intervertebral discs?
- flexion
- extension
- lateral flexion
- rotation
movement of trunk or neck in anterior direction
flexion of intervertebral discs
movement of trunk or neck in posterior direction
extension of intervertebral discs
movement of trunk or neck to either lateral side
lateral flexion of intervertebral discs
rotational movement of trunk or neck to either the left or right sides
rotation of intervertebral joints
what are the articulations of the shoulder joint?
- glenoid fossa of scapula + head of humerus (glenohumeral joint)
- acromion process of scapula + acromial end of clavicle (acromioclavicular joint)
what are the structures associated with the shoulder joint?
- glenoid labrum
- rotator cuff
- coracoclavicular ligaments
- coracoacromial ligament
- acromioclavicular ligament
- glenohumeral ligaments (superior, middle, inferior)
- superior transverse scapular ligament
fibrocartilage ring attached around the edge of the glenoid fossa of scapula
glenoid labrum of shoulder joint
-formed by group of tendons from the muscles on the scapula
supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis –> SITS
rotator cuff of shoulder joint
has 2 individual heads between the base of the coracoid process of the scapula and the inferior side of the clavicle
coracoclavicular ligaments of shoulder joint
between the end of the coracoid process of the scapula and the end of the acromion process of the scapula
coracoacromial ligament of shoulder joint
surrounds the entire articualtion between the acromion process of the scapula and the acromial end of the clavicle
acromioclavicular ligament of shoulder joint
the superior ligament crosses above the joint, the middle ligament crosses the anterior side of the joint, and the inferior ligament crosses below the joint
glenohumeral ligaments (superior, middle, inferior) of shoulder joint
crosses from one end of the suprascapular notch to the other side of the notch, creating the suprascapular foramen
superior transverse scapular ligament of shoulder joint
what are the movements of the shoulder joint?
- flexion
- extension
- abduction
- adduction
- circumduction
- medial rotation
- lateral rotation
movement of the arm in the anterior direction
flexion of the shoulder joint
movement of the arm in the posterior direction
extension of the shoulder joint
movement of the arm in the lateral direction
abduction of the shoulder joint
movement of the arm in the medial direction
adduction of the shoulder joint
circular movement of the arm
circumduction of the shoulder join
rotation of the arm toward the medial side
medial rotation of the shoulder joint
rotation of the arm toward the lateral side
lateral rotation of the shoulder joint
what are the articulations of the elbow joint?
- trochlea of the humerus + trochlear notch of the ulna
- olecranon fossa of humerus + olecranon process of the ulna when in full extension
- capitulum of humerus + head of radius
what are the associated structures of the elbow joint?
