If a structure is medial is means that it is:

Term
further away of the midline of the body
Definition

Extension does what to the joints of the body?

Term

 

Brings the bones closer together – closes the joint

Definition

Demonstrate with your foot what it would be to evert

Term

 

raising your medial arch - putting the lateral side of your foot to the floor

Definition

Demonstrate with your foot what it would be to invert

Term

abdominals, quads/hip flexors

Definition
Anterior pelvic tilt will mean that your __________ are weak and your ____________ are tight 
Term

(hamstrings, quads)

Definition
With a posterior pelvic tilt, your ____________ are tight and your _________________ are weak 
Term

Ball and Socket

Definition

A spherical shaped bone that fits into a convex portion of another joint

Term

Ball and socket

Definition

Joint that is capable of movement in every plane

Term

Ellipsoid joint

Definition

Oval shape of one body articulating with elliptical shape of another bone

Term

Hinge joint

Definition

A joint that only allows flexion and extension

Term

Saddle joint

Definition

A joint composed of convex and concave modified elliptical structures

Term

Joint between trapezium and 1st metacarpal

Definition

What is an example of a saddle joint

Term

Gliding joint

Definition

What joint has the lease amount of movement

Term

Gliding joint

Definition

An example of a _________ joint is joints between the carpals and the tarsals

Term

Rotate one bone around another

Definition

A pivot joint allows a joint to move this way:

Term

C1 and C2

Definition

An example of a pivot joint is between the _________ and ___________

Term
condyloid
Definition
same type of joint as ellipsoid joint
Term
functional classification
Definition
a classification that describes the degree of movement that a joint posesses
Term
structural classification
Definition
classification of joint that is based on its structure
Term
fibrous joint
Definition

no synovial cavity

bones are held together dense irregular connective tissues

Term
cartilaginous joints
Definition

no synovial cavity

joints are held together by cartilage

Term
synovial joint
Definition
bones articulate by dense irregular connective tissue of an articular capsule
Term
synarthrosis
Definition
immovable joint
Term
amphiarthrosis
Definition
slightly movable joint
Term
diarthrosis
Definition
freely moveable joint
Term
suture
Definition
type of fibrous joint that hold the bones of the skull together
Term
syndesmoses
Definition
a band of dense irregular connective tissue holding articulating bones together at a farther distance than a suture
Term
interosseous membrane
Definition
a sheet of dense irregular connective tissue that connects parallel long bones together
Term
synchondroses
Definition
a joint which connects bones with hyaline cartilage
Term
epiphiseal growth plate
Definition
in the metaphyses of long bones, this joint is classified as a synchondroses
Term
synarthrosis
Definition
synchondroses joints are classified functionally as:
Term

synchondroses

synarthrosis

Definition
the joint between the 1st rib and the manubrium is classified as:
Term
symphyses
Definition
cartilaginous joint that has the ends of bones covered in hyaline cartilage, but is connected with fibrocartilage discs
Term
symphyses
Definition
these joints are all found within the midline of the body
Term
synovial joints
Definition
this type of joint is the most complicated with some of the many features including:  articular capsule, ligaments, bursae
Term
diarthrosis
Definition
most synovial joints are classified functionally as:
Term
ligaments
Definition
this structure is one of the principle mechanical factors that hold the 2 articulating bones together
Term
articular fat pads
Definition
collections of adipose tissue within a synovial joint
Term
bursae
Definition
these are found between ligaments, bone, skin or fascia and serve to decrease friction
Term
articular cartilage
Definition
in most joints, the articulating bones are covered with a layer of hyaline cartilage called:
Term
synovial fluid
Definition
secreted by the synovial membrane
Term
synovial fluid
Definition
a fluid that consists of hyaluronic acid that is secreted by fibroblast like cells in a synovial membrane
Term
synovial fluid
Definition
this supplies oxygen and nutrients and removes carbon dioxide and wast from the joint
Term
viscous
Definition
when a joint has been immobile, the synovial fluid becomes:
Term
exercise
Definition
this helps to stimulate the production of synovial fluid in a joint
Term
labrum
Definition
this acts to deepen a joint cavity
Term
tendon sheaths
Definition
this is a bursae like wrap around certain tendons
Term
biceps brachii tendon
Definition
this muscle that crosses the GH joint has a tendon sheath at it's proximal tendon
Term
angular movement
Definition
this type of movement at a joint increases and decreases the angle between the articulating bones
Term
gliding
Definition
movement of fairly flat bones from side to side and back and forth.  Little to no angle change between the bones.
Term
rotation
Definition
movement of one bone around another
Term
annular ligament
Definition
this ligament holds the head of the radius into the radial notch of the ulna
Term
intercarpal ligaments
Definition
these ligaments hold all the carpal bones together
Term
ulnar collateral ligament
Definition
the medial collateral ligament of the humeroulnar joint is also known as:
Term
lateral collateral ligament
Definition
the radial collateral ligament is also known as:
Term
condyloid or Ellipsoidal joint
Definition
the convex oval shaped bone fits into the concave depression of another bone
Term
hinge joints
Definition
a convex surface of one bone fits into the concave surface of another bone
Term
pivot joint
Definition
a rounded surface of one bone articulates with another bone that allows only rotation
Term
Saddle joint
Definition
one articulating bone of this joint "sits" in the other
Term
plane & saddle
Definition
the intercarpal joints are classified as what type(s) of synovial joints?
