Unit 3 Kinesiology Flashcards
Characteristics of Synovial Joint
Movement in multiple planes
Types of Joints
Pivot, Saddle, Gliding Joint, Hinge, Ellipsoid, Ball & Socket
Pivot Joint
(Uniaxial)
in the neck
Allows rotation in one plane.
A rounded point of one bone fits into a groove of another.
Saddle Joint
(Bi-axial)
thumb
The projection of one bone fits into the oval-shaped depression of another bone.
Movement in two planes.
Gliding Joint
(Non-Axial)
wrist and ankle
Connects flat or slightly curved bone surfaces allow the bones to glide past one another in any direction along the plane of the joint, up and down, left-right, and diagonally.
Hinge Joint
(Uniaxial)
elbow & knee
Convex portion of one bone fitting into a concave portion of another.
Movement in one plane.
Ellipsoid Joint
(Bi-Axial)
wrist
The projection of one bone fits into the oval-shaped depression of another bone.
Movement in 2 planes
Ball-and-Socket
(Tri-axial)
Hip
Most movable; forward, backward, and circular.
The ball of one bone fits into the socket of another.
Movement in 3 axes.
Uniaxial Joint
Only allows movement in one plain. ex: Pivot & Hinge Joint.
Bi-axial Joint
Allows movement in 2 planes. Ex: Saddle & Ellipsoid Joint
Non-Axial Joint
Very little movement, side to side, back and forth, left and right.
Gliding Joint
Tri-axial Joint
Allows movement in several directions
Olecranon
Boney part elbow
Acetabulum
Socket of hip bone
Femoral Condyle
The two bumps on the distal end of the femur
Bursa
small fluid-filled sac
Difference between a Sprain and a Strain
sprain tears ligaments, strain are muscle
Patellafemoral Sydrom vs Osdgood
P=women O=men
Diarthrotic
allows lots of movement, like a synovial joint
Synarthrotic
does not move (skull bones)
Amphiarthrotic joints
limited movement like vertabrae
Hayline cartilage
Found at ends of bones
Elastic Cartilage
makes up the ear
Fibrocartilage
found between vertebrae of the spine
Deltoid Ligament
inner ankle ligaments
Lateral/Medial malleolus
outside Fibula/inside tibia
Achilles tendon
back of heel
Long Plantar ligament
bottom of foot
Calcaneofibular
Ligament
connects from calcaneus to fibula
Posterior Tibiofibula
Ligament
Connects the tibia to the fibia at the back
Anterior Tibiofibular Ligament
Connects the Tibia and Fibia at the front
Anterior Talofibular Ligament
Connects Talus and fibia in the front
Posterior Talofibular
Ligament
Connects the Talus and Fibia at the back
Quadriceps tendon
above patella over femur
Patellar tendon
below patella
tibial tuberosity
bump on front of tibia
Medial Colateral ligament (MCL)
Inside of knee
Lateral Colateral Ligament (LCL)
Outside of knee
Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL)
Angle to the right, in front of ACL in back of knee
Lateral Femoral Condyle
outside bump on the back of the knee
Medial Femoral Condyle
Inner bump on back of knee
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)
Angle to the left in back of knee
Medial Meniscus
the band on the inside back of the knee
Lateral Meniscus
the band on the outside back of the knee
Acromion Process
end of scapula
Glenoid Fossa
Scoop that the humerus fits into
Coracoid process
Just in front of the Acromion process
Labrum
ring around the glenoid fossa to make it deeper
bicep tendon
tendon down humerus
Glenohumeral Ligaments
Connect humerus to Glrnoid fossa and coracoid process
Coracoacromial ligament
Attaches coracoid process to acromion process.
Acromioclavicular ligament
Connects acromion process to Clavicle
Coracoclavicular ligament
Connects Clavical to Coracoid process
Joint Cavity
contains synovial fluid
Synovial Membrane
a thin barrier that lines the inside of some of your joints
Tendon/tendon sheath
a thin layer of tissue, surrounds each tendon in the body
