Joints Part 3- Movements And Types Of Synovial Joints

Front 1

gliding

Back 1

flat surfaces of bones slipping across each other

occurs between joints of carpals and tarsals and falt surfaces of vertebrae

Front 2

gliding, angular, and rotation

Back 2

three basic types of movement

Front 3

flexion

Back 3

angular movement where angle betwen bones is decreased, bringing the bones closer together

Front 4

extension

Back 4

increases the angle between joining bones; opposite of flexion

Front 5

hyperextension

Back 5

bending a joint back beyond its normal range of motion

Front 6

extension, flexion, adduction, abduction, circumductin

Back 6

the types of angular movements

Front 7

abduction

Back 7

the movement of a limb away from the body midline

Front 8

adduction

Back 8

movement of a limb toward the body midline

Front 9

cicumduction

Back 9

moving a limb or a finger so that it describes a cone in space

combines flexion, extension, adduction, and abduction

Front 10

rotation

Back 10

turning movement of a bone around the longitudinal axis

occurs along transverse plane

the only movement allowed between first two cervical vertebrae

Front 11

medial rotation

Back 11

the limb's anterior surface turns toward the medial plane of the body

Front 12

lateral rotation

Back 12

the limb turns toward lateral plane of body

Front 13

elevation

Back 13

lifting a body part superiorly

Front 14

depression

Back 14

moving the elevated body part inferiorly

Front 15

protraction

Back 15

nonangular movement in the anterior direction

Front 16

retraction

Back 16

nonangular movement in the posterior direction

Front 17

supination

Back 17

when the radius rotates laterally so the palm faces anteriorly

Front 18

pronation

Back 18

when the radius rotates medially so the palm faces posteriorly

Front 19

opposition

Back 19

saddle joint bewtween metacarpal 1 and the carpals; action by which you move thumb across palm

Front 20

inversion

Back 20

turning the sole of foot medially

Front 21

eversion

Back 21

turning sole of foot laterally

Front 22

dorsiflexion

Back 22

lifting foot so that superior surface faces the shin

Front 23

plantar flexion

Back 23

depressing the foot/elevating the heel

Front 24

nonaxial

Back 24

adjoining bones do not move around a specific axis

Front 25

uniaxial

Back 25

movement occurs around a single axis

Front 26

biaxial

Back 26

movement can occur around two axes; joint enables motion along both frontal and sagittal planes

Front 27

multiaxial

Back 27

movement can occur around all three axes and along all three body planes: frontal, transverse, and sagittal
