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
