🗑

🗑
Often are thickened parts of the fibrous capsule Sometimes are extracapsular ligaments—located outside the capsule Sometimes are intracapsular ligaments—located internal to the capsule   Reinforcing ligaments  
🗑
Look at slide 21 in PP CHAP-9 to see the Structure of a Synovial Joint   Look at slide 21 in PP CHAP-9 to see the Structure of a Synovial Joint  
🗑
Richly supplied with sensory nerves Detect pain Most monitor how much the capsule is being stretched Branches of several major nerves and blood vessels Have a rich blood supply Serve as lubricating devices   Synovial Joints (function: Fluid is squeezed out as opposing cartilages touch and allows cartilage to ride on the slippery film)  
🗑
Are bursae and tendon sheaths synovial joints?   No, they are closed bags of lubricant that reduce friction between body elements  
🗑
a flattened fibrous sac lined by a synovial membrane   Bursa  
🗑
an elongated bursa that wraps around a tendon   Tendon sheath  
🗑
3 basic types of movement   1) Gliding—one bone across the surface of another 2) Angular movement—movements change the angle between bones 3) Rotation—movement around a bone's long axis  
🗑
Gliding occurs between:   Carpals Articular processes of vertebrae Tarsals (Movements include: Flexion and extension Abduction and adduction Circumduction)  
🗑
Abduction   Away from the body ("b for bye")  
🗑
Adduction   Towards the body  
🗑
What is the only movement allowed between the atlas and axis vertebrae?   Rotation  
🗑
Rotation away from the center of the body   Lateral rotation  
🗑
Rotation toward the center of the body   Medial rotation  
🗑
Moving a body part downward   Depression (opening your mouth/moving your chin downwards)  
🗑
Moving a body part upward   Elevation (closing your mouth/moving your chip upward)  
🗑
Movement anteriorly   Protraction  
🗑
Movement posteriorly   Retraction  
🗑
Forearm rotation laterally with palms facing anteriorly   Supination (sup?)  
🗑
Forearm rotation medially with palms facing posteriorly   Pronation (brings radius across the ulna)  
🗑
Moving thumb to touch the tips of other fingers   Opposition  
🗑
Turning your foot medially   Inversion (inward)  
🗑
Turning your foot laterally   Eversion  
🗑
Lifting the foot towards the shin   Dorsiflexion  
🗑
Depressing the foot; elevating the heel   Plantarflexion  
🗑
Shape classifications of Synovial Joints   Plane Joint Hinge Joint Pivot Joint Condyloid Joint Saddle Joint Ball-and-socket Joint  
🗑
Plane joint   Articular surfaces are flat planes Short gliding movements are allowed Intertarsal and inter-carpal joints Movements are non-axial Gliding does not involve rotation around any axis  
🗑
Hinge joints   Cylindrical end of one bone fits into a trough on another bone Angular movement is allowed in one plane Elbow, ankle, and joints between phalanges Movement is uniaxial—allows movement around one axis only  
🗑
Pivot Joint   Classified as uniaxial – rotating bone only turns around its long axis Examples Proximal radioulnar joint Joint between atlas and axis  
🗑
Condyloid Joint   Allow moving bone to travel Side to side—abduction-adduction Back and forth—flexion-extension Classified as biaxial—movement occurs around two axes  
🗑
Saddle Joint   Each articular surface has concave and convex surfaces Classified as biaxial joints 1st carpometacarpal joint is a good example Allows opposition of the thumb  
🗑
Ball-and-socket Joint   Spherical head of one bone fits into round socket of another Classified as multiaxial—allow movement in all axes Shoulder and hip joints are examples  
🗑
prevent excessive motions On the medial or inferior side of a joint – prevent excessive abduction Lateral or superiorly located—resist adduction   Ligaments  
🗑
resist extension and lateral rotation   Anterior ligaments  
🗑

🗑
joint between the proximal and distal rows or carpals Allows for gliding movement   Intercarpal joint

🗑
prevents forward sliding of the femur or backward displacement of the tibia   Posterior cruciate ligament
