week 5- articulations Flashcards
Articulations (Joints)
Two bones interconnect
don’t always have to move
Range of motion
Full potential movement of joint
Synarthrosis
No movement
I.e- suture line
Amphiarthrosis
Very little movement
I.e- pubic symphysis and intervertebral joints
Diarthrosis
Free movement
I.e- Ball and socket
Articular cartilage
Protects end of bones that are articulating
Bones do not touch
Joint capsule
Surrounds joint
lined with synovial membrane
synovial membrane
secretes synovial fluid
synovial fluid functions
Lubrication
Nutrient distribution
Shock absorption
ligaments
attach bone to bone
damage is called sprain
tendons
attach muscle to bone
damage is called strain
bursa
fluid filled sac that reduces friction in tendon
meniscus
extra pad of fibrous cartilage found in knee
dislocation
movement beyond normal range of motion
Gliding joint
shearing motion
A-C joint, intercarpel/tarsal joint
hinge joint
flexion/ extension
elbow knee ankle
pivot joint
one bone rotates around other
C1-C2, proximal radioulnar
ellipsoid joint
flexion/extension adduction/ab circumduction
radiocarpal
saddle joint
thumb
ball and socket joint
most movement
hip and shoulder
gliding motion
movement along two axes in one plane
circumduction
basically arm doing circle
rotation
bone ends remain fixed and shaft rotates
left and right rotation
flexion
reduces angle between articular elements
lateral flexion
vertebral column bending to the side
dorsiflexion
flexion at ankle and elevation of sole
plantarflexion
flexion at ankle and elevation of heel
extension
increases angle between articulating elements
abduction
movement away from body midline
adduction
movement towards body midline
pronation
back of hand go out
supination
palm is turned out
opposition
movement of thumb towards palm surface
protraction/retraction
movement forward in anterior plane/ reverse of that
inversion
turning food inward
