Unit 4: Joints of the Upper Extremity Flashcards
-plane joint
-stabilized by the costoclavicular ligament, sternoclavicular ligament, and interclavicular ligament
sternoclavicular joint
-plane joint
-stabilized by the acromioclavicular ligament, coracoacromial ligament, and coracoclavicular ligament
acromioclavicular joint
-junction of the humeral head and glenoid cavity
-stabilized by the capsular ligament, glenohumeral ligament, and coracohumeral ligament
glenohumeral joint
-only joint of the shoulder that is not a true synovial joint
-does not have a bony articulation with the thorax
-lacks a capsule
-dynamic stabilization provided by muscles to form sound “foundation” for the upper extremity
