ANKLE/FOOT JOINTS
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| interphalangeal articulations , between phalanges | are synovial hinges ONLY FLEX AND EXTEND |
| interphalangeal | synovial ,hinge |
| metatarsophalangeal | synovial, elipsoidal |
| intermetatarsal | synovial gliding |
| calcaneocuboid | synovial gliding |
| cunecuboid | synovial gliding |
| intercuneform | synovial gliding |
| ankle mortise: talo fibular and tibiotalor | synovial ,hinge |
| ankle mortise/mortise joint | another name for ankle |
| ankle joint | flexes , etend and abducts and adducts slightly also inverts andeverts |
| tibiofibular (proximal) | synovial ,hinge |
| tibiofibular ( distal) | fibrous syndesmoisis |
| joints | make it possible to support the body,protect internal organs and create movement |
| joint classification | functional and structural |
| structural joint classification | most widely used |
| functional | synarthroses;immovable,ampiarthroses; slightly moveable,diarthroses; freely movable |
| structural | fibrous; strongest joints of body IMMOVABLE,cartilaginous slightly movable and last but not leastsynovial freely movable |
| hinge (ginglymus) | only flexion and extension (ANKLE) |
| gliding (plane) | slight movement (intertarsal joints) |
| ellipsoid (condyloid) | movement in two directions flexion,etension, abduction, adduction, & circumduction |
| syndesmoisis | immovable united by fibrous tissue (inferior tibiofibular) |
