Lab 3: Osteology: Appendicular Skeleton and Joints Flashcards
what are a large portion of the bones of the appendicular skeleton held together by
diarthrotic (freely movable) joints
how many bones are in the appendicular skeleton
126
how many bones are in the pectoral girdles of the appendicular skeleton
4
what are the bones in the pectoral girdles of the appendicular skeleton
- 2 clavicle
- 2 scapula
how many bones are in the pelvic girdle of the appendicular skeleton
2
what are the bones in the pelvic girdle of the appendicular skeleton
2 os coxa
how many bones are in the upper limbs of the appendicular skeleton
60
what are the bones in the upper limb of the appendicular skeleton
- 2 humerus
- 2 ulna
- 2 radius
- 16 carpal bones
- 10 metacarpal bones
- 28 phalanges
how many bones are in the lower limbs of the appendicular skeleton
60

- 2 femur
- 2 patella
- 2 tibia
- 2 fibula

define synarthroses
- joints that do not allow for any movement
- sutures of the skull, epiphyseal lines
define amphiarthroses
- joints that allow for little movement from the give of connective tissues
- ligamentous connections between the tibia and fibula or pubic symphysis
define diarthroses
- joints that have free movement due to joint capsules containing synovial fluid
- also called synovial joints
list the different categories of synovial joints/diarthroses
- nonaxial
- uniaxial
- biaxial
- multiaxial
describe nonaxial joints
- synovial joints
- permit translational movement
what are examples of nonaxial joints
plane/gliding joints
describe uniaxial joints
- synovial joints
- permit movement in one plane
what are examples of uniaxial joints
- hinge joints
- pivot joints
describe biaxial joints
- synovial joints
- permit movement in two planes
what are example of biaxial joints
- condylar joints
- saddle joints
describe multiaxial joints
- synovial joints
- permit movement in three planes
what are examples of multiaxial joints
ball and socket joints
what type of movement do plane/gliding joints provide
- nonaxial movement
- gliding
- limited due to supporting ligaments
where are plane/gliding joints commonly found
- where flat articular surfaces slide by neighboring bones
- wrist, tarsals
examples of plane/gliding joints
- intercarpal joints
- intertarsal joints
- joints between vertebral articular surfaces
what type of movement do ball and socket joints provide
- multiaxial movement
- flexion and extension
- adduction and abduction
- rotation
where are ball and socket joints commonly found
- where a spherical head of one bone fits into a cup-shaped fossa of another bone
- joints between humerus and scapula
examples of ball and socket joints
- shoulder joints
- hip joints
what type of movement do hinge joints provide
- uniaxial movement
- flexion and extension
examples of hinge joints
- elbow joints
- interphalangeal joints
what type of movement do pivot joints provide
- uniaxial movement
- rotation of one bone around another
examples of pivot joints
- proximal radioulnar joints
- atlantoaxial joints
what type of movement do condylar joints provide
- biaxial movement
- flexion and extension
- adduction and abduction
what are condylar joints characterized by
convex surface of one bone articulates in a concave depression of another bone
