Lab 5 (Unit 2) Flashcards
Flexion
bending limb
Extension
extending limb
Abduction
moving body part away from midline
Adduction
moving body part towards midline
Rotation
around axis
Cirumduction
360 degrees of motion
Supination
- palm up
- radius parallel to ulna
Pronation
- palm down
- radius crossed over ulna
What do all synovial joints have?
- fibrous layer
- synovial membrane
- joint cavity with synovial fluid
- articular cartilage
- ligaments
Knee Joint
- hinge
- two menisci stabilize joint (external and internal)
Where is the medial collateral ligament?
- between tibia and femur
- creates part of external meniscus for knee joint
Where is the lateral collateral ligament?
- between the fibula and femur
- creates part of external meniscus
What ligaments make up the internal meniscus for the knee joint?
- anterior cruciate ligament
- posterior cruciate ligament
- both make an x
- attach to femur and tibia
Pectoral Girlle
-made of left and right scapulae and clavicle
-scapulae don’t join axial skeleton just loosely articulate with clavicle
>highly flexible but not very stable
Scapula
- on dorsal surface of ribcage
- borders: superior, medial, and lateral
- Glenoid fossa articulates with humerus to equal shoulder joint
- coracoid process is where bicep muscle attaches
- acromion articulates with lateral acromial at the end of clavicle
- infraspinous, supraspinous, subscapularis fossae hold muscles
Clavicle
-extends horizontally across superior thorax
-medially: medial sternal end attaches to manubrium of sternum
-laterally: lateral acromial end articulates with process of scapula
-function:
>provide muscle attachment
>act as brace for scapula and arms
>transmit compression forces from arms to axial skeleton
Arm: How many bones and how is it broken up?
- 30 bones
- Arm= brachium/humerus
- Forearm= antebrachium/radius and ulna
- Hand= carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges
Humerus
- largest and longest bone of upper limbs
- head articulates with scapula at glenoid fossa
- distal end articulates with radius and ulna
- tubercles are site of muscle attachment
- most frequent fractures occur at the surgical neck
Radius
- primary forearm bone that contributes to the wrist
- components: head, radial tuberosity, shaft, styloid process
Carpals
- 8 in the wrist
- arranged in two rows
- gliding movement at articulations
- scaphoid is fractured the most frequently
Metacarpals
- 5
- contain: head, shaft, base
Phalanges
-proximal, middle, distal
Pollex
- thumb
- only proximal and distal phalanges
Pelvis
- ossa coxae + sacrum + coccyx = pelvis
- both axial and appendicular skeleton
- attaches lower limb to spine and supports viscera
- strong attachment to axial skeleton at sacroiliac joint
- less freedom of movement relative to pectoral girdle
