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
Flexion of neck
Rotate head to opposite shoulder
Pectoralis Major
Adduct and medially rotate arm
Pull chest upward to inhale
Deltoid
abduct arm

Flexion. extension or rotation of humerus
Rectus Abdominus
Flex vertebral column
Depress ribs
Compress abdomen
-- causing increased abdominal pressure to exhale
Trapezius
Extend head
Raise, rotate, and extend scapula
(Adduct, elevate, or depress scapula)
Latissimus Dorsi
Extend, adduct and medially rotate arm
Rotator Cuff Group
stabilizes the shoulder joint
Rhomboids
Retracts scapula (square shoulders)
Fixes (stabilizes) scapula
Biceps Brachii
Flex forearm (strong) and arm (weakly)
Supinate hand
Triceps Brachii
Powerful extension of forearm
Pronator Teres
Pronate and weakly flex forearm
Flexor carpi radialis
Flex and ABDUCT hand at wrist
Flexor carpi ulnaris
Flex and ADDUCT hand at wrist
Extensor carpi radialis
Extend and ABDUCT hand at wrist
Extensor carpi ulnaris
Extend and ADDUCT hand at wrist
Sartorius
Flex, abduct, and laterally rotate thigh
(Flex shank)
Quadriceps femoris
Extend and stabilize knee
Adductor Group
Adduct, flex, and medially rotate thigh
Gluteus Maximus
Laterally rotate, abduct, and powerfully extend thigh
Biceps femoris
Extends thigh
Flex knee
Laterally rotate leg
Tibialis Anterior
Dorsiflex and invert foot
Soleus
Plantarflex foot
