Unit 1 : SAC 1 Flashcards
Joint
The site where 2 or more bones meet
Synovial joint
A specialized joint that provides movement for the body
Non - synovial joint
A joint that has no movement
What are 2 types of non-synovial joints?
Cartilageous ie; the pubic bone
Fibrous fixed fused ie; skull
What are the 3 types of synovial joints?
Uniaxial
Biaxial
Triaxial
Uniaxial
Refers to movement in one plane
Biaxial
Refers to movement in 2 planes
Triaxial
Refers to movement in 3 planes
Types of uniaxial joints
Hinge
Pivot
Hinge joint
Creates flexion and extension
ie; knee or elbow joint
Pivot joint
A joint that only allows rotation
ie; atlas and axis (top of vertabrae)
Types of biaxial joints
Condyloid
Gliding
Condyloid joint
Allows for flexion and extension, adduction and abduction
ie; wrist joint
Gliding joint
Occurs when bones can slide against one another - flexion, extension, adduction and abduction
ie; vertabrae, carpals/tarsals
Types of triaxial joints
Ball and socket joint
Ball and socket joint
Can move in 3 planes - flexion, extension, adduction, abduction and rotation
ie; hip and shoulder joint
Flexion
The angle between articulating bones is decreased and the plane of the body
Extension
The angle of the joint is increased and the plane of the body
Abduction
The movement of the body part away from the midline
Adduction
The movement of the body part towards the midline
Rotation
When bone turns on its own axis within a joint
Towards the body its internal rotation, away from the body, it’s external rotation
Bicep facts
Anterior upper arm Creates flexion Moves elbow joint Is at a uniaxial hinge joint Involves humerus, radius and ulna
Tricep facts
Posterior upper arm Creates extension Moves elbow joint Is a uniaxial hinge joint Involves humerus, radius and ulna
Pectoral facts
Anterior thoracic Creates flexion Moves shoulder joint Is a triaxial, ball and socket joint Involves the scapula, clavicle and humerus
Teres major facts
Posterior thoracic Creates extension Moves shoulder joint Is a triaxial, ball and socket joint Involves the scapula, humerus and clavicle
Deltoid facts
Anterior thoracic Creates abduction Moves the shoulder joint Is a triaxial, ball and socket joint Involves clavicle, humerus and scapula
Abdominals facts
Anterior lumbar Creates flexion Moves the spine Is a biaxial, gliding joint Involves the vertebrae
Erector spinnae facts
Posterior lumbar Creates extension Moves the spine Is a biaxial, gliding joint Involves the vertebrae
Gluteal facts
Posterior Creates extension Moves the hip joint Is a triaxial ball and socket joint Involves the femur, tibia and fibula
Iliopsoas facts
Anterior Creates flexion Moves the hip joint Is a triaxial ball and socket Involves the femur, tibia and fibula
Hamstring facts
Posterior upper leg Creates flexion Moves the knee joint Is a uniaxial hinge joint Involves the fibula and tibia
Quadricep facts
Anterior upper leg Creates extension Moves the knee joint Is a uniaxial hinge joint Involves tibia and fibula
Gastrocnemius
Posterior lower leg Moves the ankle Creates plantar dorsi Is a biaxial, condyloid joint involves tibia, fibular and tarsals
Tibialis anterior
Anterior lower leg Moves the ankle Creates plantar flexion Is a biaxial, condyloid joint Involves tibia, fibula and tarsals
Movement with gravity
When gravity is applied to extension or adduction movement it requires the muscles that flex to continue to flex to slow down the process
ie; when a bicep curl is performed with the weight it uses the bicep to raise and lower the arm
Reciprocal Inhibition
Muscles coordinate and the muscle works in pairs to contract and relax
Agonist
The muscle that is contracting, it creates the movement
Antagonist
The muscle that is relaxing, does not create movement
Exercises for tricep
Tricep curl
Dip
Tricep pushup
Bench press
