Soc 13- Joints, Movements, Ligaments, Tendons

Question 1

What are the different types of joint?

Answer 1

Pivot
Hinge
Ball and socket
Condyloid

Question 2

8 different types of movement

Answer 2

Flexion and extension
Dorsiflexion and Plantar flexion
Abduction and Adduction
Rotation and Circumduction

Question 3

What are Tendons?

Answer 3

Tendons are non-elastic fibres that attach muscle to bone and help to move them.

Question 4

How do Tendons help?

Answer 4

Tendons let you apply power and movement. Tendons also grow in strength the more you use them.

Question 5

What are ligaments?

Answer 5

Ligaments are elastic fibres that joins bone to bone, usually to hold things together and keep them stable

Question 6

How do ligaments help us?

Answer 6

They keep your skeleton supported whilst allowing movement.

Question 7

Definition of Flexion

Answer 7

This movement decreases the angle between two body parts. For example, bending the elbow or knee, or bending forward at the waist.

Question 8

Definition of extension

Answer 8

This movement increases the angle between two body parts. For example, straightening the elbow or knee, or bending backward at the waist.

Question 9

Defintion of Dorsiflexion

Answer 9

This movement involves lifting the foot upwards towards the shin. It decreases the angle between the dorsum (top) of the foot and the leg

Question 10

Definition of Plantar Flexion

Answer 10

This movement involves pointing the foot downward away from the shin. It increases the angle between the dorsum of the foot and the leg.

Question 11

Defintion of Abduction

Answer 11

This movement moves a limb or other part away from the midline of the body or from another part. For example, raising the arms or legs sideways away from the body.

Question 12

Definition of Adduction

Answer 12

This movement brings a limb or other part toward the midline of the body or toward another part. For example, lowering the arms or legs back towards the body’s side.

Question 13

Definition of Rotation

Answer 13

This movement involves turning a body part around its long axis.

Question 14

Definition of Circumduction

Answer 14

This is a circular movement that combines flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction in sequence. It allows a limb to describe a cone-shaped pathway. For example, moving the arm in a circular motion at the shoulder joint.

Question 15

What is the movement of extension?

Answer 15

Straightening movement that increases the angle between the body parts

Question 16

What is the movement of adduction?

Answer 16

Movements that pull towards the midline of the body

Question 17

What is the movement of Abduction?

Answer 17

Movement that pulls away from the midline of the body

Question 18

What is the movement of Rotation?

Answer 18

Movement around a single axis or pivot point

Question 19

What is the movement of Circumduction?

Answer 19

Moving in a circular or conical shape

Question 20

What is the movement of Dorsi-Flexion?

Answer 20

Bendinf or flexinf the toes up, closer to the shim

Question 21

What is the movement of Plantar-Flexion

Answer 21

Extending or pointing the toes down, away from the shin
