28
immovable joint
has fibrous connective tissue joining the bone
slightly moveable joint
has fibrous joints OR cartilaginous with articular cartilage joining the bones
freely moveable joints
have a membrane and articular cartilege
- synovial
Flexion
bending parts at a joint so that the angle between them decreases and the parts come closer together (bending the lower limb at the knee)
Extension
straightening parts at a joint so that the angle between them increases and the parts move far- ther apart (straightening the lower limb at the knee)
Hyperextension
excess extension of parts at a joint, beyond the anatomical position (bending the head back beyond the upright position)
Abduction
moving a part away from the midline (lifting the upper limb horizontally to form a right angle with the side of the body)
Adduction
moving a part toward the midline (return- ing the upper limb from the horizontal position to the side of the body)
Rotation
moving a part around an axis (twisting the head from side to side). Medial rotation involves movement toward the midline, whereas lateral rota- tion involves movement in the opposite direction.
Circumduction
moving a part so that its end follows a circular path (moving the finger in a circular motion without moving the hand)
Supination
turning the hand so the palm is upward or facing anteriorly (in anatomical position)
Pronation
turning the hand so the palm is downward or facing posteriorly (in anatomical position)
Eversion
turning the foot so the sole faces laterally
Inversion
turning the foot so the sole faces medially
Protraction
moving a part forward (thrusting the chin forward)
Retraction
moving a part backward (pulling the chin backward)
Elevation
raising a part (shrugging the shoulders)
