Midterm 1 Flashcards
What are fibrous joints
Joints that allow for no movement
What are Synovial Joints
Joints that allow for large range of movement
Example of a synovial joint
The knee joint
Example of cartilaginous joint
Vertebral Discs
What are cartilaginous joints
Slightly movable joints that are good shock absorbers
What joins the ilium and the sacrum
Sacroiliac
What joint is both fibrous and synovial?
Sacroiliac
Parts of a synovial joint
- Joint Capsule (ligament)
- Synovial membrane
- Synovial fluid
- Hyaline cartilage
Function of synovial membrane
Secrete synovial fluid (lubricant)
Whats the function of the hyaline (articular cartilage)
Layer of dense white connective tissue; facilitates articulation
What joins the pectoral girdle to the axial skeleton?
Sternoclavicular joint
What joint attaches the scapula to the clavicle?
Acromioclavicular joint
Shoulder separations often occur in sports, what joint would be separated?
Acromioclavicular joint
Movements of the AC Joint
Protraction/Retraction
Elevation/Depression
What joint connects the scapula to the humerus?
Glenohumeral joint
- wide range of motion
- injury = relative lack of stability
Joints of the elbow?
Humeroradial and humeroulnar
Which forearm joint is closest to the elbow
proximal radioulnar
What does the radioulnar joint do during pronation?
The radius flips over the ulna
What is the lateral wrist joint
Radiocarpal joint
Joint between metacarpals and phalanges
Metacarpophalangeal
Movements of Intervertebral Joints
Flex/ext
Lateral flex/ext
Rotation
Joint between sacrum and lumbar vertebrae
Lumbrosacral
Socket in pelvis
Acetabulum
Movements of hip joint
Flex/ext
add/abd
Knee joint
Tibiofemoral joint
- flex/ext
What makes up the knee joint
Meniscus Cartilages
Cruciate Ligaments
Collateral Ligaments
How to distinguish lateral and medial meniscus
Lateral connects to tibia and is on the same side as the fibula, medial connects to MCL
Feet joints
Intertarsal joints - between tarsal
transverse (mid) tarsal joint - between proximal &distal row of tarsal bones
Movement: inversion/eversion
Ankle joint
Distal fibula & tibia articulate w/ superior talus
to cause movement
both ends of each muscle must be attached to the bone
proximal attachment
origin
