Question
Answer
JOINTS ARE   The place where two or more bones meet which are called ARTICULATION  
🗑
FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF JOINTS   Are based on the degree of MOVEMENT they permit, they can be IMMOVABLE, SLIGHTLY MOVABLE OR FREELY MOVEABLE  
🗑
Three types of JOINTS are   SYNARTHROSIS--The Articulating bones are COMPLETELY IMMOVABLE OR FIXED JOINTS AMPHIARTHROSIS--A SLIGHTLY MOVEABLE joint DIARTHROSIS--A FREELY MOVABLE joint  
🗑
EXAMPLES of SYNARTHROSIS JOINTS ARE   SUTURES(All joints in the SKULL except TMI-Temporal Mandibular Joints) JOINTS between the FIRST RIB and the STERNUM EPIPHYSEAL PLATE of the growing bones  
🗑
EXAMPLES of DIARTHROSIS JOINTS ARE   SHOULDER JOINT ELBOW JOINT HIP JOINT KNEE JOINT CARPAL JOINT MANY, MANY OTHERS  
🗑
EXAMPLES of AMPHIARTHROSIS   INTERVERTEBRAL JOINTS PUBIC SYMPHYSIS DENTOALVEOLAR JOINT  
🗑
SYNOVIAL JOINTS have certain CHARACTERISTICS that distinguish them from OTHER JOINTS   The UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS of a SYNOVIAL JOINT is the presence of a space called a SYNOVIAL CAVITY which contains FLUIDS that separates the articulating bones Outside the SYNOVIAL CAVITY are ARTICULATING BONES that are connected by a DENSE CONNECTIVE CAPSULE The bones of a Synovial Joint are covered by a LAYER of HYALINE CARTILAGE called ARTICULAR CARTILAGE that covers the articulating surface of each bone. All synovial joints are DIARTHROSIS-FREELY MOVABLE  
🗑
DETAILS of a SYNOVIAL JOINTS   The FIBROUS CAPSULE contains DENSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE that attaches to the articulate bones. The LIGAMENTS are formed by BUNDLES of CONNECTIVE TISSUES and holds the bones together.  
🗑
DETAILS of a SYNOVIAL JOINTS   The SYNOVIAL MEMBRANE secretes SYNOVIAL FLUID which is a PALE YELLOW FLUID  
🗑
DETAILS of a SYNOVIAL JOINTS   The SYNOVIAL CAVITY contains SYNOVIAL FLUID  
🗑
DETAILS of a SYNOVIAL JOINTS   ARTICULAR CARTILAGE is a SMOOTH WHITE TISSUE that covers the ENDS OF THE BONE they come together to form the JOINT  
🗑
DETAILS of a SYNOVIAL JOINTS   HYALINE CARTILAGE provides a smooth surface enabling tissues to MOVE/SLIDE over each other.  
🗑
SYNOVIAL FLUID CHARACTERISTICS   SYNOVIAL FLUID is a VISCOUS , CLEAR OR PALE YELLOW FLUID that has the appearance of an uncooked egg white  
🗑
FUNCTIONS OF THE SYNOVIAL FLUID   LUBRICATES and PROVIDES SHOCK ABSORPTION for the JOINT  
🗑
FUNCTIONS OF THE SYNOVIAL FLUID   Distributes OXYGEN and NUTRIENTS to the ARTICULAR CARTILAGE and REMOVES METABOLIC WASTES  
🗑
FUNCTIONS OF THE SYNOVIAL FLUID   Contains PHAGOCYTES to remove DEBRIS and MICROBES  
🗑
JOINT MOVEMENT ARE CAUSED BY   The MOVEMENT of MUSCLES  
🗑
JOINT MOVEMENT ORIGIN   Are the FIXED BONY ATTACHMENT  
🗑
JOINT MOVEMENT INSERTION   Are the BONY ATTACHMENT that MOVES when the MUSCLE CONTRACTS  
🗑
JOINT MOVEMENT ACTION   Are the JOINT MOVEMENT occurring when the MUSCLE CONTRACTS  
🗑
MUSCLE ACTIONS (FLEXION/EXTENSION/HYPEREXTENSION   FLEXION-DECREASING the ANGLE of a JOINT or moving a body part ANTERIORLY EXTENSION-INCREASING the ANGLE of a joint or moving a body part POSTERIORLY HYPEREXTENSION-EXCESSIVE EXTENSION  
🗑
MUSCLE ACTIONS ABDUCTION AND ADDUCTION   ABDUCTION-MOVING a body part AWAY from a MIDLINE ADDUCTION-MOVING a body part TOWARD A MIDLINE  
🗑
MUSCLE ACTIONS CIRCUMDUCTION   CIRCUMDUCTION-MOVING a body part in a 360 degree angle  
🗑
MUSCLE ACTIONS ROTATION   ROTATION-MOVEMENT of a body part ALONG ITS OWN LONGITUDINAL AXIS  
🗑
MUSCLE ACTIONS ELEVATION AND DEPRESSION   ELEVATION-MOVEMENT of a body part SUPERIORLY DEPRESSION-MOVEMENT of a body part inferiorly DESCRIBES the MOVEMENT of the MANDIBLE and SHOULDERS  
🗑
MUSCLE ACTIONS PROTRACTION AND RETRACTION   PROTRACTION-MOVEMENT of the MANDIBLE RETRACTION-MOVEMENT of the MANDIBLE POSTERIORLY  
🗑
MUSCLE ACTION PRONATION AND SUPINATION   PRONATION- MEDIAL ROTATION of the FOREARM that directs the PALMAR SURFACE of the HAND POSTERIORLY SUPINATION-LATERAL ROTATION of the FOREARM that directs the PALMAR SURFACE to the HAND ANTERIORLY  
🗑
MUSCLE ACTION INVERSION AND EVERSION   INVERSION-MOVEMENT of the PLANTAR SURFACE of the FOOT INWARD TOWARD the MIDLINE EVERSION-MOVEMENT OF THE PLANTAR SURFACE of the FOOT INWARD TOWARD the MIDLINE  
🗑
MUSCLE ACTION DORSIFLEXION AND PLANTAR FLEXION   DORSIFLEXION-MOVEMENT of the DORSAL SURFACE of the FOOT POSTERIORLY;(Weight is on the heel) PLANTAR FLEXION-MOVEMENT of the PLANTAR SURFACE of the FOOT POSTERIORLY (WEIGHT is on the toes)  
🗑
MUSCLE ACTION OPPOSITION   OPPOSITION-THE MOVEMENT of the thumb across the PALM to TOUCH the TIPS of the FINGERS An EXTREMELY IMPORTANT MOVEMENT developed by HUMANS AND OTHER PRIMATES  
🗑
