Movements of Joints

Question 1

What makes up the sternocostal joint? What movements happen at this joint?

Answer 1

sternum + costal cartilages

movements:protraction, retraction, rotation, elevation, depression

Question 2

What makes up the costovertebral joint? What movements happen here?

Answer 2

ribs and thoracic vertebrae

small degree of gliding

Question 3

What makes up the sternoclavicular joint? What movements happen here?

Answer 3

manubrium of sternum and clavicle

elevation, depression, retraction, protraction, rotation

Question 4

What makes up the acromioclavicular joint? What movements happen here?

Answer 4

acromion of scpaula + clavicle

gliding

Question 5

What makes up the scapulothoracic joint? What movements occur here

Answer 5

scapula and thorax (physiological joint)

upward/downward rotation, elevation/depresson, retraction/protraction

Question 6

What makes up the glenohumeral joint + what movements happen here?

Answer 6

glenoid cavity of the scapula and the head of the humerous

flexion, extension, horizontal adduction/abduction, abduction/adduction, medial/lateral rotation, circumduction

Question 7

What is an axis in relation to joint movement?

Answer 7

for each movement at a certain joint an axis is needed, movement happens around this axis

Question 8

If a muscle is at the level of the axis does it produce the movement of that axis?

Answer 8

no, if muscle is at the level of axis it doesn’t do the movement

Question 9

The axis of flex/ext of the GHJ is oriented __________

Answer 9

medially-laterally

Question 10

The axis of ab/add of GHJ is oriented __________

Answer 10

anteriorly-posteriorly

Question 11

The axis of rotation of GHJ is oriented ________

Answer 11

vertically

Question 12

Any muscle that passes/inserts anterior to the axis of flex/ext of GHJ is able to do what motion @ GHJ?

Answer 12

Flexion

Question 13

Any muscle that passes/inserts posterior to the axis of flex/ext of GHJ is able to do what movement @ GHJ?

Answer 13

extension

Question 14

Any muscle that passes/inserts laterally to the axis of ab/add of GHJ is able to do what movement @ GHJ?

Answer 14

Abduction

Question 15

Any muscle that passes/inserts medially to the axis of ab/add of GHJ is able to do what movement at the GHJ?

Answer 15

adduction

Question 16

Any muscle that passes/inserts anterior to the axis of rotation of GHJ is able to do what movement at the GHJ?

Answer 16

medial rotation

Question 17
