What are the three types of joints
Fibrous
Cartilaginous
Synovial
Fibrous joints are…
Fixed
Cartilaginous joints are….
Slightly moveable joints
Synovial joints are….
Freely movable joints
What does articulating bones refer to
The bones that meet and move at the joint
What is a ball and socket joint
Allows movement in every direction
What is a hinge joint
-Allows movement in only one direction
Give an example of a ball and socket joint
Hip and Shoulder
Give an example of a hinge joint
Ankle, Knee, Elbow
What is the Saggital plane
vertical plane which divides the body into right and left halves
What is the frontal plane
- a vertical plane that divides the body onto front and back halves
What is the transverse plane
A horizontal plane that divides the body into upper and lower halves
Give an example of movements in the Sagittal plane
Extension and Flexion
Plantar- Flexion and Dorsi - Flexion
Hyper - Extension
Give an example of movement in the frontal plane
abduction and adduction
Give an example of movements in the transverse plane
Horizontal Abduction
Horizontal Adduction
Rotation
Give an example of movement in the transverse axis
Extension and flexion
Give an example of movement in the saggital axis
Abduction and adduction
Give an example of movement in the longitudinal axis
Rotation
What axis will always be paired with the saggital plane
Transverse axis
What axis will always be paired with the frontal plane
Saggital axis
What axis will always be paired up with the transverse plane
Longitudinal axis
How does the transverse axis run
From side to side across the body
How does the saggital axis run
From front to back
How does the longitudinal axis run
From top to bottom
