what are the two was to classify a joint |
degree of motion and characteristics |
|
what are the three types of joint based on degree of motion |
non-movable, slightly movable, freely movable |
|
ex: suture |
fibrous joints |
|
is united by *word* connective tissue, has no joint cavity, and moves little or none? |
fibrous joint |
|
slightly movable and unite two bones by means of fibrocartilage |
cartilaginous joint |
|
ex: symphysis pubis, invertebral disks |
cartilaginous joints |
|
allow considerable movement, most complex, most common, and contain a certain type of fluid |
synovial joints |
|
structures of synovial joints |
articular cartilage, joint cavity, fibrous capsule, synovial membrane/fluid accessory: bursae, ligaments and tendons, meniscus |
|
occurring around several axes |
multiaxial |
|
occurring around two axes at right anglese to each other |
biaxial |
|
joint cavity contains |
synovial fluid |
|
pockets of synovial fluid that extend from the joint; found in areas of friction |
bursae |
|
fibrocartilaginious pads in the knee |
meniscus |
|
some rotation possible but limited by surrounding structures; monoaxial |
plane/ gliding joints |
|
invertebral joints |
gliding |
|
biaxial joints |
saddle joints |
|
thumb |
saddle joint |
|
convex cylinder in one bone; monoaxial |
hinge joint |
|
ex: elbow, knee |
hinge joints |
|
cylindrical bony process rotating within a circle of bone and ligament; monoaxial |
pivot joints |
|
multiaxial joints |
ball and socket |
|
ex: shoulder and hip joints |
ball and socket |
|
two main types of movement |
angular and circular |
|
bending parts at a joint |
flexion |
|
straightening parts at a joint |
extension |
|
standing on toes |
plantar flexion |
|
foot lifted toward the shin |
dorsiflexion |
|
movement away from the midline |
abduction |
|
movement toward the midline |
adduction |
|
turning of a structure on its long axis |
rotation |
|
palm faces posteriorly (down) |
pronation |
|
palm faces anteriorly (up) |
supination |
|
combination of flexion, extension, abduction, adduction; appendage describes a cone; circular path |
circumduction |
|
unique to only one or two joints |
special movement |
|
moves a structure superior (up) |
elevation |
|
moves a structure inferior (down) |
depression |
|
gliding motion forward (anteriorly) |
protraction |
|
moves structure back to anatomic position or even further posteriorly |
retraction |
|
moving mandible to the right or left of midline |
lateral |
|
return the mandible to the midline |
medial |
|
movement of thumb and little finger toward each other |
opposition |
|
return fingers to anatomical position |
reposition |
|
turning the ankle so the sole faces medially |
inversion |
|
turning the ankle so the sole faces laterally |
eversion |
|
allowing flexion and extension, small amount of rotation |
condyloid (knee joint) |
|
function of ACL |
prevents anterior displacement of tibia |
|
what does ACL stand for |
anterior cruciate ligament |
