Shoulder Flashcards
What are the different types of fibrous joints?
- sutures
- syndesmoses
- gomphoses
What are the different types of cartilaginous joints?
- symphyses
- synchondroses
Characteristics of synovial joints.
-joint capsule \+inner synovial membrane \+outer fibrous capsule -hyaline cartilage -articular disc -very mobile
What does synarthrosis, amphiarthrosis, and diarthrosis mean?
- synarthrosis: no movement
- amphiarthrosis: little movement
- diarthrosis: a lot of movement
What are the different movements at synovial joints?
- nonaxial: no axis of movement
- uniaxial
- biaxial
- multiaxial
What are the different joints of the arm?
- acromioclavicular
- glenohumeral
- humeroulnar (elbow)
- radioulnar (proximal and distal)
- sternoclavicular
Movements of acromioclavicular joint
- diarthrotic
- gliding and rotation of scapula on clavicle
Movements of glenohumeral joint
- diarthrotic
- multiaxial
- flexion, extension, abdustion, adduction, circumduction, rotation
Movements of humeroulnar joint
- diarthotic
- uniaxial
- flexion, extension
Movement of proximal radioulnar joint
- diarthrotic
- uniaxial
- pronation and supination
Movement of distal radioulnar joint
- diarthrotic
- uniaxial
- rotation
Movement of sternoclavicular joint
- diarthrotic
- multiaxial
What are the general groups of shoulder muscles?
- axioappendicular
- scapulohumeral
What is the labrum?
-rim of cartilage to which the capsule attaches
What are the different bursa in the shoulder?
- subacromial
- subdeltoid
- subcoracoid
- subscapular
