JOINTS

A

a.k.a. “Articulations;” where two or more bones meet.
FUNCTIONS:
1) Give the skeleton mobility
2) Hold bones together, sometimes playing a protective role in the process

Q

MOVEMENTS OF SYNOVIAL JOINTS

A

All muscles are attached to bones in at least two places. The ORIGIN is more proximal; the INSERTION is more distal and across a joint. When a muscle contracts, it pulls the insertion toward the origin to move the bone.

Q

GLIDING MOVEMENT

A

Q

PLANTAR FLEXION

of foot

A

pointed toes

23
Q

ADDUCTION

A

moving toward the midline

24
Q

ABDUCTION

A

moving away from the midline

25
Q

CIRCUMDUCTION

A

moving in a circle; flexion+abduction+extension+adduction

26
Q

ROTATION

A

C1(Atlas)-Yes motion; C2(Axis)-No motion.

turning a bone around its own long axis; Cervical 1 & 2 are only vertebrae to do this; hip and shoulder also rotate.

27
Q

PRONATION

A

“turning forward;” distal end of radius moves across ulna; happens in horizontal plane.

28
Q

SUPINATION

A

“turning backward;” radius and ulna are parallel; “more soup, please.”

29
Q

INVERSION

A

ankle turns foot inward (pigeon toed)

30
Q

EVERSION

A

ankle turns foot outward (fat person waddle)

31
Q

PROTRACTION

A

moves chin out (up) in transverse plane

32
Q

RETRACTION

A

moves chin in (down) toward chest

33
Q

ELEVATION

A

move superiorly (shrugging shoulders)

34
Q

DEPRESSION

A

move inferiorly (opening mouth)

35
Q

OPPOSITION

A

touching tip of thumb to fingers

36
Q

-TYPES OF SYNOVIAL JOINTS-

A

Plane, Hinge, Pivot, Condyloid, Saddle, Ball-in-Socket

see following cards

37
Q

PLANE JOINTS

A

(non-axial movement) flat surfaces allow only gliding; EX: intercarpal/intertarsal joints & vertebral articular processes

38
Q

HINGE JOINTS

A

(uniaxial) like a door hinge; movement in one plane; EX: 1) elbow (ulna & humerus), 2) ankle (tallus, fibula, tibia), 3) interphalangial joint of toe

39
Q

PIVOT JOINTS

A

(uniaxial) rounded end of bone fits into “ring” at another bone; Ex: proximal radio ulnar joint (where leaves fit into table)

40
Q

CONDYLOID JOINTS

A

(biaxial) oval articular surface fits into oval articular surface; Ex: radio carpa joints (wrists) and metacarpophalangeal joints (knuckles)

41
Q

SADDLE JOINTS

A

(biaxial) saddle surface fits on saddle-like surface upside-down; Ex: carpometacarpal joint of thumb.

42
Q

BALL-N-SOCKET

A

(multiaxial) round ball fits into cup-like socket; this type allows most range of motion; Ex: hip and shoulder

43
Q

-INJURIES OF JOINTS-

A

see following cards

44
Q

SPRAINS

A

ligaments around joint are stretched or torn; heals slowly; (ankle sprains occur most commonly from inversion)

45
Q

CARTILAGE INJURIES

A

tearing the meniscus is the most common of this type; usually doesn’t heal well; can cause joint mice bites of cartilage that break off and interfere with joint movement. Usually repaired with arthroscopic surgery.

46
Q

DISLOCATION

A

articular surfaces no longer line up. Common in falls in sports injuries. Fixed by reduction of dislocation.

47
Q

SUBLUXATION

A

partial dislocation w/ partial contact between bone.

48
Q

BURSITIS

A

inflammation of bursa; usually caused by trauma or friction

49
Q

TENDONITIS

A

inflammation of tendon, usually caused by overuse (tennis elbow)

50
Q

-ARTHRITIS-

A

One hundred different types. Early symptoms: 1)pain, 2)stiffness, 3) swelling. Chronic forms include osteo-, rheumatoid, and gouty arthritis.

51
Q

OSTEOARTHRITIS

A

MOST COMMON chronic arthritis; more women affected than men, but 85% of all Americans get it; non-inflammatory; WEIGHT-BEARING JOINTS are most affected (cervical/lumbar spine, fingers knuckles, knees, & hips); long term degenerative arthritis destroys joint cartilage over time; rarely crippling but can be if hips or knees are involved

52
Q

RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

A

chronic INFLAMMATORY DISORDER with insidious onset; usually arises between age 30 and 50 but can occur at any age; affects 3 times as many women than men; AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE involving severe inflammation of the joints (body’s immune system attacks its own tissues); joint tenderness and stiffness are early symptoms; BILATERAL AFFLICTION particularly of the SMALL JOINTS (fingers, wrists, ankles, feet)

53
Q

GOUTY ARTHRITIS

A

caused by deposits of needle shaped uric crystals in the joints from excessively high blood levels of uric acid that should be eliminated by the kidneys (a failure of purine (protein) metabolism); urate salts in soft joint tissue; typically affects one joint often at the base of the big toe; more common in men b/c of naturally higher levels of uric acid; avoid alcohol excess and foods high in purine (cheese., sardines); if untreated articulating bone ends can fuse and immobilize the joint

54
Q

LYME’S DISEASE

A

inflammatory disease caused by spirochete bacteria transmitted by ticks that live on mice and deer; results in joint pain (arthritis most commonly in knees); symptoms include skin rash, flu-like symptoms, and foggy thinking; if untreated neurological disorders and irregular heartbeats may ensue; treatment: antibiotics.
