types of synovial joints Flashcards
1
Q
hinge joints
A
-1 plane of motion
-rounded end of bone fits into hollow end of bone
-one bone moves while the other is stationary
2
Q
ball + socket
A
-bone that moves it the ball
-moves on the x and y axis
-circumduction rotation
3
Q
condyloid
A
-bone that moves is the socket (ball is an oval)
-x and y axis but no rotation
4
Q
pivot
A
-rotation
-rounded end of bone fits into a ring formed by the other bone
-round bone moves on the axis
5
Q
saddle
A
-similar to condyloid joint (motion)
-u-shape bone nested into v-shape bone
6
Q
gliding
A
-sliding on x and y axis
-articulating surfaces that are flat or slightly curved
7
Q
synovial cavity
A
space found between segments of the bone and the articular cartilage
