UNIT 1 Flashcards
Kinesiology
Study of movement
Sagittal plane
Median or midsagittal
Splits body into R and L halves
Frontal plane
Coronal
Divides body into anterior and posterior parts, front and back
Transverse
Horizontal plane, upper and lower, or superior and inferior parts
Axes of movement
Right angle to plane in which movement occurs
Frontal axis
Movements in SAGITTAL plane have frontal axes
Sagittal axis
Movements in FRONAL planes have sagittal axes
Vertical axis
Movements in transverse plane occur around vertical axes
Linear movement (translatory)
Movement in relatively straight line, all parts of object move same distance in same direction at the same time
Rectilinear
Movement in straight line (Car on road, w/c on path)
Curvilinear
Curved path, skier down slope b/w flags
Angular (rotary) movement
Movement of object around fixed point traveling through an arc
All parts move through the same angle, same direction, but not the same distance
Bones at joint
Osteokinematics
Bone movements in space
Skeletal system functions
Support and shape to body, protects vital organs and body systems, manufactures blood cells
Axial
Head, thorax, and trunk
80
Appendicular
Extremities
Arms, legs, pelvis and shoulder girdle
126
Compact bone
Outer shell
Cancellous bone, spongy bone
Porous, inside of bone, resists strain and stress, makes up end of most articular bones
Diaphysis
Main shaft of bone
Medullary canal
Hollow, center of diaphysis, contains marrow
Endosteum
Membrane lining the medullary canal
Epiphysis
Area of end of diaphysis, wider than shaft, growth occurs here in children
Metaphysis
Flared end of the diaphysis which supports the epiphysis
Periosteum
Membrane covering bone except articular surfaces (hyaline cartilage)
Contains nerve and blood vessels
ATTACHMENT point for tendons and ligaments
Long bones
Length greater than width, compact bone is more centralized where stress is greatest
Short bones
Usually articulate with more than one bone, cubical,
Flat bones
Tend to have curved surfaces,
Irregular
Mixed shape
Sesamoid bones
Small bones located where a tendon crosses the end of a long bone protecting the tendon from wear by creating grooves
Patella
Joints
Connection between two bones which allows movement,
Provides stability to body and bears weight of body,
Shoulder example of…
Move movement in joint= less stability
Sternoclavicular example of…
Less movement in joint= increased stability
Fibrous joints (3)
Has thin layer of periosteum between bones,
- Synarthrosis
- Syndesmosis
- Gomphosis
Synarthrosis
Suture joint, bones interlock with little or no movement
Syndesmosis
Ligamentous, fibrous tissues holds joint together
Gomphosis
Bolted, between teeth and dental socket (only here)
Cartilaginous joint
Hyaline or fibrocartilage between two bones
Great stability with small amount of motion
Vertebrae
Synovial joint
No direct connection between bones, cavity filled with synovial fluid is contained inside capsule, outer layer strong fibrous tissue, inner layer synovial membrane, free movement
Nonaxial
Linear movement, movement in these joints occurs secondary to other movement
Uniaxial
1 direction
Biaxial
2 directions
Triaxial
Motion in all three axes, multiple directions
Ligaments
Hold bones together, do not stretch (but are flexible), prevents excessive movement of joint
Joint capsule
outer layer- fibrous tissue
inner layer- synovial membrane, secretes synovial fluid
Fribrocartilage
shock absorber, deepens joint, ex- humerus and glenoid fossa (labrym), discs, and menisci
tendon
muscle to bone
bursae
padding, under tendons and over bony prominences, reduces friction of moving parts
end feel
something you feel as you move someone through ROM
arthrokinematic
joint movement
