musculoskeletal system Flashcards
what is a joint
where two or more bones meet
ball and socket joints
allow movement in every direction
articulating bones at the elbow
Humerus
Radius
Ulna
study tip: how are U
articulating bones at knee
femur
tibia
study tip: face time
articulating bones at ankle
tibia
talus
fibula
articulating bones at the shoulder
Humerus
Scapula
study tip: SH beggining of word shoulder
articulating bones at the hip
Femur
Pelvis
ball and socket joints
allow movement in Every direction
ball and socket joints=hip and shoulder
hinge joints
allow movement in onlY one direrction
hinge joints=ankle knee elbow
what are the three planes of movements and how do they divide the body
sagittal plane-divides body into left and right halves
study tip; starts with s for sides
frontal plane-divides body into front and back halves
transverse plane-divides body into upper and lower halves
what movements occur at the sagittal plane
flexion
extension
what movements occur at the frontal plane
abduction
adduction
what movements occur at the transverse plane
horizontal abduction
horizontal adduction
rotation
way to remember all of the planes
sagittal
frontal
transverse
study tip: Suck face time
transverse axis
STI
runs from side to side
longitudinal axis
TLC
runs from top to bottom
sagittal axis
ffs
runs from front to back
