Types of Synovial Joints:
|
1. Plane Joint
2. Hinge Joint 3. Pivot Joint 4. Condyloid Joint 5. Saddle Joint 6.Ball-and-Socket Joint |
|
Plane Joint
|
Articulating surfaces are flat or slightly curved, allowing sliding movements in one or two planes
-- Gliding Uni or biaxial Gliding movement Ex: intercarpal and intertarsal joints |
|
Hinge Joint
|
The rounded process of one bone fits into the concave surface of another to allow movement in one plane
Uniaxial flexion and extension Ex: Elbow |
|
Pivot Joint
|
The rounded or conical surface of one bone articulates with a shallow depression or foramen in another bone
Uniaxial rotation Ex: radioulnar joint |
|
Condyloid Joint
|
The oval condyle of one bone fits into an ellipsoidal depression of another bone, allowing biaxial movement
Biaxial Ex: Radiocarpal joint, knuckles |
|
Saddle Joint
|
The articulation surface of one bone is convex, and the reciprocal surface is concave
Biaxial Ex: joint between thumb metacarpal and trapezium of the wrist |
|
Ball-and-Socket Joint
|
The ball-shaped head of one bone fits into a cup-like depression of another to allow mutiaxial joints, allowing movement in all direction and pivotal rotation
Multiaxial Ex: shoulder |
|
Flexion
|
A movement in the sagittal plane that decreases the angle of the joint and reduces the distance between the 2 bones
|
|
Extension
|
a movement that increases the angle of a joint and the distance between two bones or parts of the body
|
|
Abduction
|
movement of a limb AWAY from the midline or median plane of the body
|
|
Adduction
|
movement of a limb TOWARD the midline of the body
|
|
Rotation
|
movement of a bone around the longitudinal axis without lateral or medial displacement
|
|
Circumduction
|
a combination of flexion, extension, abduction and adduction commonly observed in ball-and-socket joints
|
|
Pronation
|
Movement of the palm of the hand from an anterior (upward) to a posterior position (downward)
|
|
Supination
|
Movement of the palm from a posterior position to an anterior position (anatomical position)
(radius and ulna are parallel) |
|
Inversion
|
a movement that results in medial turning of the sole of the foot
|
|
Eversion
|
A movement that results in the lateral turning of the sole of the foot
|
|
Dorsiflexion
|
a movement of the ankle joint in a dorsal direction (standing on one's heels)
|
|
Plantar Flexion
|
a movement of the ankle joint in which the foot is flexed downward (standing on one's toes or pointing the toes)
|
|
Types of Muscles:
|
1. Agonist
2. Antagonist 3. Synergists 4. Fixators |
|
Agonist
|
"prime movers"
Responsible for producing a particular movement |
|
Antagonist
|
Fibers are relaxed when the prime mover is active
|
|
Synergists
|
Aid the action of a prime mover by reducing undesirable movement
|
|
Fixators
|
Immobilize the origin of a prime mover so that all the tension is exerted at the insertion
|
|
Orbicularis Oris
|
close and protrude lips
|
|
Orbicularis Oculi
|
close eye and pull eyebrow down
|
|
Masseter
|
Elevate mandible (close jaw)
|
|
Sternocleidomastoid
|

|
Flex vertebral column
Depress ribs Compress abdomen -- causing increased abdominal pressure to exhale |
|
Trapezius
|
Extend head
