Term
how are synovial joints classified functionally?
Definition
synovial joints are classified functionally as DIARTHROSES (freely movable)
Term
what is dorsiflexion of the ankle joint (talocrural joint)
Definition
moving the front of the foot up towards your head
Term
what is plantar flexion of the ankle joint? (talocrural joint)
Definition
moving the front of the foot towards the floor away from your head
Term
moving the calus of your foot closer to the midline is what type of movement of the intertarsal joint?
Definition
inversion
Term
moving the calus of your foot away from the midline is what type of movement of the intertarsal joint?
Definition
eversion
Term
leaning your body to the side is what type of movement of the invertebral joints?
Definition
lateral flexion
Term
leaning your body back to the normal position after being leaned to the side is what type of movement of the invertebral joints?
Definition
later extension
Term
leaning back is what type of movement of the invertebral joints?
Definition
hyperextension
Term
abduction or adduction of the foot while keeping it parallel to the floor requires which joint?
Definition
abduction or adduction of the foot while keeping the foot parallel to the floor requires the TIBIOFIBULAR joint
Term
Planar synovial joints allow what type of movement?
Definition
planar synovial joints allow for GLIDING movement
Examples:
intercarpal joints
intertarsal joints
sternoclavicular joints
acromioclavicular joints
sternocostal joints (2-7)
vertebrocostal joints
zygapophyseal joints
Term
how are the articulating surfaces of planar joints shaped?
Definition
articulating surfaces of planar joints are FLAT OR SLIGHTLY CURVED
Term
what is found between the annulus fibrosis and the vertebral body?
Definition
HYALINE CARTILAGE is found between the annulus fibrosis and the invertebral disc
Term
which joints allow gliding movements between vertebrae?
Definition
ZYGAPOPHYSEAL joints (FACET JOINTS) allow gliding movements between vertebrae
Term
the largest part of the vertebra bone
Definition
the VERTEBRAL BODY is the largest part of the vertebra bone
Term
the "support beams" of the vertebra bone
Definition
the INFERIOR AND SUPERIOR ARTICULAR PROCESSES are the "support beams" of the vertebra bone
Term
the ??? is the "dorsal fin" of the vertebra bone
Definition
the SPINOUS PROCESS is the "dorsal fin" of the vertebra bone
Term
the ??? is the "mouthguard" of the vertebrae bone
Definition
the LAMINA is the "mouthguard" of the vertebrae bone
Term
the ??? connects the vertebral body to the articular processes (support beams) and is somewhat of a continuation of the lamina. Together, these together make up the vertebral arch
Definition
the PEDICLE connects the vertebral body to the articular processes (support beams) and is somewhat of a continuation of the lamina. These together make up the vertebral arch
Term
??? are the articulations between the inferior articular processes of one vertebra and the superior processes of the adjacent vertebra. They allow gliding movement between the vertebrae.
Definition
ZYGAPOPHYSEAL JOINTS (FACET JOINTS) are the articulations between the inferior articular processes of one vertebra and the superior processes of the adjacent vertebra.
Term
Why is there a change in the orientation of facet joints as they proceed down the spine?
Definition
There is a change in the orientation of the facet joints as they proceed down the spine such that the facet joints in the lumbar spine do not permit rotation.
Term
both of these are primary spine spabilizers
Definition
the Anterior Longitudinal Ligament and the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament are both primary spine stabilizers
Term
both of these primary spine stabilizers run the entire length of the spine from the base of the skull to the sacrum
Definition
the Anterior Longitudinal Ligament and the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament both runt he entire length of the spine from the base of the skull to the sacrum
Term
which ligament lines the vertebral canal?
Definition
the POSTERIOR LONGITUDINAL LIGAMENT (PLL) lines the anterior surface of the vertebral canal
Term
This ligament is attached along its length to the posterior of the vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs.
Definition
PLL POSTERIOR LONGITUDINAL LIGAMENT is attached along its length to the posterior of the vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs.
Term
this ligament attached along its length to the anterior of the vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs.
Definition
the ALL ANTERIOR LONGITUDINAL LIGAMENT attached along its length to the anterior of the vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs.
Term
each of these ligaments connect the posterior surface of the lamina on the vertebra below to the anterior surface of the lamina of the vertebrae
Definition
Each LIGAMENTUM FLAVUM connects the posterior surface of the lamina on the vertebra below to the anterior surface of the lamina of the vertebra above.
Term
This ligament extends from the external occipital protuberance to the posterior border of the foramen magnum, cranially, to the seventh cervical spinous process, caudally.
Definition
the LIGAMENTUM NUCHAE extends from the external occipital protuberance to the posterior border of the foramen magnum, cranially, to the seventh cervical spinous process, caudally.
Term
This ligament interconnects the tips of the spinous processes from CVII to the sacrum.
Definition
the SUPRASPINOUS LIGAMENT interconnects the tips of the spinous processes from CVII to the sacrum.
Term
the nape of the neck
Definition
NUCHA - the nape of the neck
Term
This type of synovial joint:
interconnects the tips of the spinous processes from CVII to the sacrum.
Usually one bone remains fixed while the other moves.
Examples include:
tibiofemoral joint (knee joint)
elbow joint
talocrural joint (ankle joint)
interphalangeal joints
Definition
HINGE JOINTS
interconnects the tips of the spinous processes from CVII to the sacrum.
Usually one bone remains fixed while the other moves.
Examples include:
tibiofemoral joint (knee joint)
elbow joint
talocrural joint (ankle joint)
interphalangeal joints
Term
This type of synovial joint:
a monaxial joint that allows rotation about an axis
Examples include:
the atlanto-axial joint
radioulnar joints
Definition
PIVOT JOINT
a monaxial joint that allows rotation about an axis
Examples include:
the atlanto-axial joint
radioulnar joints
