LECTURE 1: INTRODUCTION TO JOINTS AND THE GLUTEAL REGION Flashcards
What are the features of synovial joints?
cap, synovial cavity, synovial membrane, joint capsule, fibrous layer, outer layer, fatty pads,
What is a bursae?
– miniature joint capsule
o Sacs lined with synovial membrane (Contain synovial fluid)
o Reduce friction where ligaments, muscles, skin, tendons, or bones rub together
What are the 6 types of synovial joints?
plane, hinge, pivot, condylar, saddle, ball and socket
What is the action of the plane joint?
2 solid flat structures that glide against one another (nonaxial movement). Limited mobility
Examples: Intercarpal joints, intertarsal joints, joints between vertebral articular surfaces
What is the action of the hinge joint?
Uniaxial (move in one plane), Flexion and extension only
Examples: Elbow joints, interphalangeal joints
What is the action of the pivot joint?
Flat round head of radius allows for supination and protonation rotation
example: Atlantioaxial joint is in your neck, Proximal radioulnar joints
What is the action of the condylar joint?
Bi-axial movement over sagittal plane, Extend/ flex, and abduct/adduct
Examples: Metacarpophalangeal (knuckle) joints, wrist joints
What is the action of the saddle joint?
flexion/extension, adduction/abduction
Example: Carpometacarpal joints of the thumbs
What is the action of the ball and socket joint?
most mobility and less stability; Extend/ flex, and abduct/adduct, and rotation
Examples: Shoulder joints and hip joints
What does the ilio-inguinal nerve innervate?
(no motor innervation in lower limb) innervates abdominal muscles
What does the genitofemoral nerve innervate?
(no motor innervation in lower limb) genital branch innervates cremaster
What does the femoral nerve innervate?
skin of the anterior thigh and muscles (quadriceps); branches supply iliacus and pectineus
What does the obturator nerve innervate?
skin over upper medial thigh and muscles (except pectineus and part of adductor magnus); obturator externus
What does the lateral cutaneous nerve innervate?
Parietal peritoneum in iliac fossa; skin over anterolateral thigh
What does the sciatic nerve innervate?
Innervates all of the muscles of the posterior compartment of thigh and muscles that move ankle and foot
What does the inferior gluteal nerve innervate?
Passes through greater sciatic foramen below piriformis
Innervates gluteus maximus
What does the superior gluteal nerve innervate?
Passes through greater sciatic foramen ABOVE piriformis
Supplies gluteus Medius and minimus
What does the Posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh innervate?
Passes through greater sciatic foramen below piriformis and medial to sciatic
Innervates skin over gluteal fold, posterior thigh and parts of perineum
