Term
|
Definition
| type of joint that has no direct union between the bone ends but a cavity filled with synovial fluid contained within a sleevelike capsule |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| type of joint that allows free motion; synovial joints are an example |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| at this type of joint, movement tends to be linear instead of angular because joint surfaces are relatively flat and glide over one another |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| type of joint that has angular motion occurring in one plane around one axis, like a hinge; the only motions are flexion and extension |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| type of joint that allows motion in two different directions; flexion and extension occur around the frontal axis; radial and ulnar deviation occur around the safittal axis |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a type of joint in which the articular surface of each bone is concave in one direction and convex in the other |
|
|
Term
| triaxial joint/ball-and-socket joint |
|
Definition
| type of joint where motion occurs actively in all three axes; multiaxial joint (2 answers) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| bands of fibrous connective tissue |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| surrounds and encases the joint and protects the articular surfaces of the bone |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| inner layer of joint capsule that is a thick and vascular tissue that secretes synovial fluid |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| thick, clear fluid that lubricates the articular cartilage |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| dense connective tissue capable of withstanding a great amount of pressure and tension; there are three types |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| articular cartilage; covers the ends of opposing bones; has no blood or nerve supply of its own |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| type of cartilage that acts as a shock absorber; menisci and the intervertebral disks are examples |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| type of cartilage that is designed to help maintain the shape of a structure; found in external ear and larynx |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| structure that connects muscle to bone |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| fibrous sleeves that can surround a tendon when it is subject to pressure or friction; tendons passing over the wrists are an example |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| broad, flat tendinous sheet; linear alba which is attached to the abdominal muscles near the midline |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| small padlike sacs that are found around most joints; located in areas of excessive friction, such as under tendons |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a broken bone; a break in the continuity of the bony cortex caused by direct or indirect force or pathology |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the complete separation of two articular surfaces of a joint |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| partial dislocation of a joint and usually occurs over a period of time |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a partial or complete tearing of fibers of a ligament |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the overstretching of muscle fibers |
|

Term
| sagittal, frontal, transverse |
|
Definition
| what are the three planes of the body? |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| plane that passes through the body from the front to the back and divides the body into right and loeft parts; motions are flecion and extension |
|
|
Term
| frontal plane (coronal plane) |
|
Definition
| type of plane that passes through the body from side to side and divides the body into front and back parts;motions are abduction and adduction |
|
|
Term
| transverse plane (horizontal plane) |
|
Definition
| type of plane that passes through the body horizontally and divides it into top and bottom parts; motion is rotation |
