Fixed/ immovable + examples
No movement, either completely fused or has small amount fibrous tissue in between.
Examples - sutures, teeth
Semi-movable + examples
Minimal movement, some stretch and bend only.
Examples - intervertebral disc, synthesis pubis.
Synovial + examples
Fully moveable, encased in capsule with synovial fluid inside, hyaline cartilage at ends of bones.
Examples - knee, elbow, hip, etc.
Ball-and-socket + examples
All directions
Examples - hip and shoulder
Hinge + examples
One direction
Examples - elbow, knee, phalanges.
Condyloid + examples
All directions except rotation.
Examples - ankle, wrist, digits.
Saddle
Only at thumb metacarpal to carpal joint
Pivot + example

Flexion
Decrease the angle between bones.
Extension
Increase the angle between bones.
Hyperextention
Goes past anatomical position.
Abduction
Movement away from midline.
Adduction
Movement towards midline.
Rotation
Circular movement on one axis.
Circumduction
Circular movement creating a “cone” shape, circumscribes circle at distal end.
Supination
(Only wrist/forearm) ulna/radius are parallel.
Pronation
(Only wrist/forearm) ulna/radius are crossed.
Inversion
(At ankle/foot only) sole of foot inwards; “rolling” the ankle.
Eversion
(At ankle/foot only) sole of foot outwards.
Protraction
Body part forward, parallel to ground.
Retraction
Body part backward, parallel to ground.
Elevation
(Shoulders only) raising part of body, “shrug”.
Depression
(Shoulders only) lowering part of body.
Plantar flexion
(Ankle/foot only) toes downward, “planting” them.
Dorsiflexion
(Ankle/foot only) toes upwards.
How the nervous system works.
The nervous system uses tiny cells called neurons to send messages back and forth from the brain, through the spinal cord, to the nerves throughout the body.
