17
Q

appendicular skeleton

A

upper and lower extremeties

18
Q

three main parts of the axial skeleton

A

skull
thoracic cage
vertebral column

19
Q

two main parts of the appendicular skeleton

A

upper limb
lower limb

20
Q

upper limb

A

arm
forearm
hand

21
Q

lower limb

A

thigh
leg
foot region

22
Q

flexion

A

bending (closing joint)

23
Q

extension

A

stretching (opening joint)

24
Q

abduction

A

moving away from midline

25
adduction
moving towards midline
26
describing movement of fingers
median line drawn down third digit
27
elevation
moving superiorly (shoulder)
28
depression
moving inferiorly (shoulder)
29
circumduction
combined movement of flexion, extension, abduction, adduction can only be produced in ball and socket joints
30
rotation of appendicular skeleton
lateral rotation medial rotation
31
rotation of vertabrae and spine
rotation
32
supernation
palms turn anteriorly
33
pronation
palms turn posteriorly
34
eversion
elevation of the lateral margin of the foot
35
inversion
elevation of the medial margin of the foot
36
two main categories of joint
synovial solid
37
synovial joints
two bones held together by an articular capsule allows for movement between two bones
38
solid joints
allow for little to no movement between bones fibrous: bones connected by fibrous connective tissue cartilaginous: connected to cartilage
39
types of synovial joints and their degrees of freedom
pane: 2 hinge: 1 ellipsoid/ condylar: 2 saddle: 2 pivot: 1 ball and socket: 3
40
degrees of freedom
number of planes joint can move in
