A
  1. protect vital organs
  2. produce movement
  3. maintain the structure/shape of the body
  4. storage of minerals

16
Q

what is a pivot joint and provide examples.

A
  • a cylindrical bone can provide rotary movement around a single axis.
  • e.g. in the neck and on the sides of the radius and ulna
17
Q

what is a hinge joint and provide examples.

A
  • bones move in only one direction
  • allows movement along one plane
  • provides extension and flexion
  • e.g. elbow, knees, phalanges
18
Q

what is a saddle joint and provide examples.

A
  • provides a wide range of movement
  • allows movement on two planes - flexion/extension and abduction/adduction.
  • there are only three saddle joint
  • e.g. thumb, shoulder and ear
19
Q

what is a ball and socket joint and provide examples?

A
  • rounded bones surface connects within hollow on another bones
  • allows a range of movement with a couple limits
  • provides the most movement out of the synovial joints
  • abduction, adduction, circumdation, rotation
  • e.g. shoulder, hips
20
Q

flexion definition

A
  • when the angle between two body segments decreases across the joint.
  • usually occurs in sagittal joint
    e.g. flexion of the elbow
21
Q

extension definition

A
  • when the angle between two body segments increases across the joint
  • usually occurs in sagittal joint
    e.g. extension of the elbow
22
Q

abduction definition

A
  • when a body part moves away from the body laterally
  • usually occurs in the frontal plane
    e.g. shoulder abduction
23
Q

adduction definition

A
  • when a body part moves towards the body medially
  • usually occurs in the frontal plane
    e.g. shoulder adduction
24
Q

circumdation definition

A
  • a limb extended from a joint moves 360 degrees controlled
    e.g. circumdation of the shoulder
25
Q

dorsi flexion definition

A
  • specific to the foot
  • when the foot flexes towards the tibialis anterior
26
Q

plantar flexion definition

A
  • specific to the foot
  • when the foot flexes away from the tibialis anterior
27
Q

supination definition

A

when the hand rotates, palm upwards.

28
Q

pronation definition

A

when the hand rotates, palm downwards

29
Q

inversion definition

A

when the plantar surface of the foot turns medially

30
Q

eversion definition

A

when the plantar surface of the foot turns laterally
