ARTICULATIONS/JOINTS

Description of movements

QuestionAnswer
What are three ways to move a bone? Move the point, change the angle, and rotate the shaft *one end of the bone always keep contact with another, no matter if you twist, push, or pull it*
What are the articular motions? Gliding (linear) movement, angular movement, rotation, and special movement
What is gliding (linear) movement? *Think of SLIDING* when two surfaces slide past one another
What is angular movement? Opening or closing an angle---> flexion, extension/ abduction, adduction/ circumduction/ *KNEE, ELBOW*
What is rotation? Turning a bone inwards or outwards---> pronation, supination
What are some other special movements? Related to particular joints, like the thumb---> opposition, reposition/ inversion, eversion
What is circumduction? When one point is on a surface, while the other point is spinning in a circular movement
What are the three axes of motion? Monaxial, biaxial, and triaxial
What is a monaxial? Movement around one axis
What is a biaxial? Movement around two axes
What is a triaxial? Movement around three axes
What are the classification of synovial joints by shape? Gliding, hinge, condylar, ball and socket, saddle, pivot
What are some examples of gliding joints? Sacroiliac joint, intercarpal (wrist) joints, vertebrocostal joints (rib to vertebrae) (*think of vertebrae for -vertebro and -costal like rib or costilla in spanish*), acromioclavicular joint + sternoclavicular joint
What are some examples of hinge joints? Elbow joint, knee joint, ankle joint, interphalangeal joints (finger and toes)
What are some examples of condylar joints? Radiocarpal joint of wrist, metacarpophalangeal joints 2-5 (knuckles), metatarsophalangeal joints 2-5 (toe to foot)
What are some examples of ball and socket joints? Shoulder joint, hip joint
What are some examples of saddle joints? Carpometacarpal joint (CMC) = thumb, sternoclavicular joint
What are some examples of pivot joints? Atlantoaxial joint (C1-C2), proximal radioulnar joint of elbow (when radius moves over ulnar - movement of supination to pronation)
Can a joint be both mobile and strong? No, the greater the mobility, the weaker the joint
What makes mobile joints weaker? Mobile joints are supported by muscle/tendons and ligaments (NOT bone to bone connections)
When a person is in anatomical position, what type of angular movement is being done? Extension
If a person places their arm backwards during an anatomical position, what angular movement is being done? Hyperextension
If a person moves their leg forwards, what angular movement is being done? Flexion
What does the angular movement, abduction do? Moves away from the body center
What does the angular movement, adduction do? Moves closer or towards the body center
What does the angular movement, circumduction do? Moves in a circular motion without rotation
What does the rotating movement, pronation do? Turns forearm radius over ulnar, palm faces posterior
What does the rotating movement, supination do? Forearm in anatomical position, palm faces anterior
What does the special movement, inversion do? Face sole of foot inward
What does the special movement, eversion do? Face sole of foot outward
What does the special movement, dorsiflexion do? Flexion at ankle (lifting toes to ceiling)
What does the special movement, plantar flexion do? Extension at ankle (pointing toes to the floor)
What does the special movement, opposition do? Thumb movement towards fingers or palm (grasping)
What does the special movement, reposition do? To repose; relax the thumb/ opposite of opposition
What does the special movement, protraction do? Moves anteriorly in the horizontal plane (pushing forward) *pushing jaw forwards*
What does the special movement, retraction do? Opposite of protraction, moving posteriorly (pulling back) *pulling jaw inwards*
What does the special movement, elevation do? Moves in superior direction (up) *closing mouth*
What does the special movement, depression do? Moves in inferior direction (down) *opening mouth*
What does the special movement, lateral flexion do? Bends vertebral column from side to side
What does -arthros mean? (LECTURE) Joint, as in arthritis
What is a joint or articulation? (LECTURE) Where two bones meet, whether they move or do not move
What is kinesiology? (LECTURE) The study of motion
What is ROM and what is it based on? (LECTURE) Range of motion; based on movement
What is structure based on? (LECTURE) Based on anatomy only; most especially on ingredients of matrix+ joint cavity
What are the three classes of functional (ROM) *SAD*? (LECTURE) SYNarthrotic, AMPHIarthrotic, and DIarthrotic (Synovial Joint)
What are the three matrix ingredients *FCB*? (LECTURE) Fibers, Cartilage, and Bone
What are the two joint categories? (LECTURE) Functional (ROM) and Structural (mostly matrix)
What does -syn mean? (LECTURE) Means together or interlocked; no ROM
What is an example of SYNarthrosis? (LECTURE) Known to be extremely strong; Skull Sutures
What does -amphi mean? (LECTURE) Means both sides; some ROM
What is an example of AMPHIarthosis? (LECTURE) Slight movements possible, but made for stability; Ankles/Wrist
What does -dia mean? (LECTURE) Means through; full ROM
What are some examples of DIArthrosis (synovial joint)? (LECTURE) Free movement, but unstable; Knee and Shoulders
Does the structural category deal with ROM? (LECTURE) No, does care about the ROM permitted
Do synovial joints contain any matrixes? (LECTURE) Yes, it contains all three matrixes (fibrous, cartilaginous, and bony), plus a joint cavity
What are four types of synarthrosis (no ROM) joints? (LECTURE) Suture, Gomphosis, Synchondrosis, Synostosis
What are two types of amphiarthrosis (some ROM) joints? (LECTURE) Syndesmosis, Symphysis
What is one type of diarthrosis (full ROM) joints? (LECTURE) Synovial Joints
A Suture has bones interlocked or sewn together by using what kind of structural class? (LECTURE) Dense fibers
A Gomphosis bolts teeth into sockets using what kind of structural class? (LECTURE) Fibrous ligament; *think of GOM as gum*
A Synchondrosis has a rigid bridge between two bones using what kind of structural class? (LECTURE) Cartilage; more specifically epiphyseal cartilage; *think of CHONDRO as cartilage*
A Synostosis fuses two bones causing the boundary to disappear using what kind of structural class? (LECTURE) Bony; *think of OSTO as bones*
A Syndesmosis has the bones connected by what kind of structural class? (LECTURE) Fibrous ligament
A Symphysis has two bones connected by a wedge of tough _______ - kind of structural class? (LECTURE) Fibrocartilage
Synovial Joints have features like articular capsule and synovial joints, what kind of structural class are they? (LECTURE) They have all three: fibrous, cartilaginous, bony
What is the most common type of damage to the cartilage? (LECTURE) Osteoarthritis
What are three functions of synovial fluid? (LECTURE) Lubrication, Nutrient Distribution, and Shock Absorption
What are four accessory structures used to stabilize joints? (LECTURE) Meniscus (articular disc) (fibrocartilage), fat pad (fill in empty spaces when joints move)(adipose mass covered in synovial membrane), ligaments and tendons, bursae (pockets in CT that contain Synovial Fluid)
What are two types of injuries to joints? (LECTURE) Dislocation (luxation) and Sublaxation
What is a dislocation? (LECTURE) Articulating surfaces forced out of position; damages articular cartilage, ligaments, and joint capsule
What is a sublaxtion? (LECTURE) A partial dislocation
There are two types of degenerative changes in joints, what are they? (LECTURE) Rheumatism and Athritis
Which is the most common type of arthritis? (LECTURE) Osteoarthritis
What is gouty arthritis? (LECTURE) Occurs when Uric acid or calcium salts form within synovial fluid/ due to metabolic disorders/ consuming meats, beer, and being overweight are factors
What is rheumatoid arthritis? (LECTURE) Autoimmune disease of joints/ an inflammatory condition due to genetic and environmental factors/ wrist and hands, lungs, and heart inflammation
Joint immobilization does what? (LECTURE) Reduces flow of synovial fluid/ can cause arthritis symptoms/ treated by continuous passive motion (CPM) therapy
As one ages, what happens to ones' bones? (LECTURE) Bone mass decreases/ bones weaken/ increase risk of hip fracture, hip dislocation, or pelvic fracture
What are five factors affecting bone strength? (LECTURE) AGE, PHYSICAL STRESS, HORMONE LEVELS, CALCIUM AND PHOSPHOROUS UPTAKE AND EXCRETION, GENETIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
