Lecture 7 - Articulations Flashcards
Articulation Definition
Where two bones connect (Joint)
2 Functions of Articulations
Allowing movement
Stability
Two types of Joints
Functional
Structural
3 types of Functional Joints
Synarthrosis
Amphiarthrosis
Diarthrosis
Synarthrosis Joint Definition (2 points)
Immovable Joint
Interlocked surfaces joined with fibres, cartilage or bone
Amphiarthrosis Joint Definition (2 points)
Slightly movable Joint
Surfaces connected by collagen fibres or cartilage
Diarthrosis Joint Definition (2 points)
Freely movable Joint
Synovial Joint
3 types of Angular movement
Flexion/Extension
Abduction/Adduction
Circumduction
Flexion/Extension Definition
Angular Motion in the Sagittal Plane
Flexion = Reducing Angle
Extension = Increasing Angle
Hyperextension = Extension past anatomical position
Examples of Flexion/Extension joint
Head
Hip Joints
Abduction/Adduction Definition
Angular Motion in the Frontal Plane
Abduction = Away from Longitudinal Axis
Adduction = Towards Longitudinal Axis
Examples of Abduction/Adduction joint
Hip Joint/Legs
Wrists
Arms
Circumduction Definition
Circular Motion without Rotation
Combination of Flexion/Extension and Abduction/Adduction
Example of Circumdiction
Shoulders
Rotation Definition
Motion around Longitudinal Axis
3 types of Rotation
Light/Right Rotation
Medial Rotation (Internal)
Lateral Rotation (External)
2 types of Forearm Rotation
Pronation
Supination
Pronation Definition
Radius crosses over ulna
Turns palm to face posteriorly
Supination Definition
To anatomical position
Turns palm to face anteriorly
4 Movements of Foot
Inversion = Twist sole medially
Eversion = Twist sole laterally
Dorsiflexion = Flexion at ankle/Raise Toes
Plantar Flexion = Extension of ankle/Pointing Toes
4 types of Structural Joints
Bony Fusion
Fibrous
Cartilaginous
Synovial
Main type of Bony Joint
Synostosis
3 Features of Synostosis
Synarthrosis
Articulating Bones Fused
Good for strength/stability
Example of Synostosis
Joint between left and right frontal bone
3 types of Fibrous Joints
Suture
Gomphosis
Syndesmosis
2 Features of Suture
Synarthrosis
Articulating bones interlocked by collagen fibres
2 Features of Gomphosis
Synarthrosis
Tooth fits in socket attached by ligament
2 Features of Syndesmosis
Amphiarthrosis
Bones connected by ligament
Example of Suture
Sutures in Cranium
