Q

how does the skeletal system aid with movement?

A
  • attachment sites for muscles, soft tissues and organs
  • muscles attached to the skeleton contract and exert a pull on the skeleton, then functions as a system of levers
  • bones can alter the direction and magnitude of the forces

define gliding

A

the motion of bones sliding on one another

100
Q

define angular joint

A

motion that changes the joint angle

101
Q

what are the four types of angular joints

A
  • flexion (bending/decreasing angle)
  • extension (straightening/increasing angle)
  • abduction (taking away from midline)
  • adduction (bringing toward the midline)
102
Q

rotation joints definition

A

when a joint pivots around its own axis

103
Q

the two types of rotation in joints

A 
medial = towards the midline
lateral = away from the midline
104
Q

what are the three special joint movements?

A
  1. Supination/Pronation
  2. Inversion/Eversion
  3. Circumduction
105
Q

what is supination and pronation

A

rotation of the radius over the ulna!

  • supination = palms face front
  • pronation = palms face back
106
Q

inversion and eversion?

A

twisting motion of the ankle
