Quiz 1 Flashcards
Fibrous Joints
Immovable
Gomphosis
between teeth. Underlying mandibular and maxillary
Syndesmosis
long fibrous connective tissue firmly attach the 2 bones together. (distal radioulnar and tibiofibular joints)
Cartilaginous Joints
joins 2 bones together with cartilaginous connective tissue
Synovial Joints (Diarthrodial)
joint capsule
Nonaxial
- Movements not in a specific plane or axis
- articulations between carpal and tarsal bones
sliding movements
Uniaxial Joints
Movement around 1 axis
- Hinge joints
- pivot joints
Hinge Joints
- Sagittal plane around frontal axis
- Bones prevent movements in other planes and axes
- elbow joint (between ulna and humerus), knee, interphalangeal joints
Biaxial Joints
- Condyloidal (supported on all sides by ligaments and tendons without additional bony support)
- Saddle (between trapezium and 1st metacarpal bone)
triaxial joint
- ball and socket
- most injured joints in body
- sound ligaments and numerous muscle tendons exist on all sides to help strengthen and reinforce the joint
Parallel Muscles
- Strap muscles
- Fusiform muscles
- Rhomboidal muscles
- Triangular muscles
Oblique Muscles
- Unipennate muscles
- Bipennate muscles
- Multipennate muscles
Parallel Muscles give you more
range of motion
Oblique Muscles give you more
force
Characteristics of Muscles include
- Normal resting length
- Irritability
- Contractility
- Extensibility
- Elasticity
Normal resting length
Length of an unstimulated muscle
irritability
ability to respond to a stimulus
Contractility
Ability to contract (shorten, stay the same, or lengthen) Ex: Slinky
Extensibility
Ability to lengthen or stretch
Elasticity
Ability to recoil (return to normal resting length)
Relationship in muscle tone include
- Tension
- Tone
- Excursion
Tension
Force built up within a muscle (can be passive or active)
Tone
Slight tension that is present in muscle at all times (a state of readiness)
Excursion
Distance from max elongation to max shortening
