Question
Answer
How are joints classified?   by their freedom of movement and how bones are joined  
🗑
How does a diarthrosis joint move?   moves freely (dia=through, apart)  
🗑
How does a amphiarthrosis joint move?   slightly moveable (amphi=both sides)  
🗑
How does a synarthrosis joint move   just a little or no movement (syn=together, arthro=joint)  
🗑
How are synovial joints joined?   synovial cavity that contains fluid  
🗑
joint in which two bones are separated by a space called a joint cavity   synovial joints  
🗑
What is the movement like for synovial joints   most are diarthrosis - move freely  
🗑
what do tendons hold together   muscle and bones  
🗑
what do ligaments hold together   bones to bones  
🗑
what is a meniscus   a pad of fibrocartilage  
🗑
What are the six structures of a synovial joint?   articular cartilage, articular capsule, synovial fluid, menisucs, tendons, ligaments  
🗑
saclike extension of a joint capsule that allows structures to slide more easily past each other   bursa (means "purse")  
🗑
elongated cylinders of connective tissue line with synovial membran and wrapped around a tendon - like a bun on a hot dog   tendon sheath  
🗑
What two things affect the movement at synovial joints   origin and insertion of the attached bones  
🗑
what does flexion do to the angle of a joint   decrease the angle - brings boens closer together  
🗑
what does extension do to the angle of a joint   increases the angle - bones move farther apart  
🗑
what is meant by hyperextension   extending beyond 180 degrees  
🗑
what is dorsiflexion   raising the toes towards towards the shin  
🗑
what is a combination of flexion, abduction, extension and adduction movements   circumduction

🗑
what is pronation   rotation of the forearm out of anatomical position  
🗑
inversion   sole of the foot turned medially  
🗑
eversion   soles of the foot turned laterally  
🗑
protraction   movement of a bone anteriorly (forward) on a horizontal plane  
🗑
retraction   movement of a bone posteriorly  
🗑
opposition   move thumb to touch the fingertips  
🗑
______________ is natural in anatomical position   extension  
🗑
tendon sheaths and bursae dissipate   heat and friction  
🗑
joint where smooth head fits within a cuplike depression   ball-and-socket joint  
🗑
What type of joint is between the head of the humerus and the glenoid cavity of the scapula   ball-and-socket joint  
🗑
this joint is said to be three in one   knee joint  
🗑
What do the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments do for the knee joint   limit anterior and posterior sliding movements  
🗑
what do themedial and lateral collateral ligaments do for the knee joint   prevent rotation of extended knee  
🗑
What is special about the glenohumeral joint   most freely movable joint in the body because of shallow glenoid and loose capsule  
🗑
