Which synovial joint allows the most motion? Give example(s) of this joint
Ball and socket- shoulder, hip
Which synovial joint allows rotation? Give example.
Pivot- neck
Which synovial joint allows only flexion and extesion? Give example(s)
Hinge- elbow, knee
Which synovial joint is made up of concave and convex surfaces? Give example(s)
Saddle- thumb
Which synovial joint is the least moveable? Give example(s)
Gliding- Acromioclavicular (joint made with acromion and clavicle)
Which synovial joint allows ONLY flexion/extension and adduction/abduction? Give example(s)
Condyloid/lipsoid- Wrist, foot
What are ways of determining if a skeleton is of a male or female?
Male skeletons are normally larger
Male pelvis is usually more narrow
What is the best way to determine the sex of a skeleton?
The pelvis. The male pelvis is usually more narrow than the female pelvis. The female pelvis is usually wider for child-birth
