Lab 6

TermDefinition
Classification of joints according to type of intervening material (structural) fibrous, cartilage, synovial
Classification of joints according to the degree of movement (functional) synarthroses, amphiarthroses, diarthroses
Fibrous joints hold together two bones through dense irregular CT; has limited or no movement; ex. gomphoses, sutures, syndesmoses, radioulnar, and tibiofibular joints
Cartilage joints contain cartilage between articulating bones and lack a joint cavity; immovable or slightly moveable; ex. synchondroses, symphyses, costochondral, pubic symphysis, intercarpal joints...
Synovial joints most complex joints displaying various amounts of mobility; ex. elbow, knee, ankle, atlantoaxial, radiocarpal, thumb, shoulder, and hip joints
Synarthroses joints immobile joints; ex. costochondral joints, and between skull bones
Amphiarthroses joints slightly mobile joint; ex. pubic symphysis, intervertebral disk, radioulnar, tibiofibular joints
Diarthroses joints freely mobile joint; ex. all synovial joints, shoulder, hip, knee, thumb, atlantoaxial, ankle, intercarpal and tarsal, and interphalangeal joints
Syndesmoses bones that join together and are held in place with sheets of collagen between the bones
Gomphoses teeth held in sockets by a fibrous ligament
Sutures found between most of the bones of the skull
Synchondroses bones joined together with hyaline cartilage between the ends of the bones
Symphyses bones with fibrocartilage between them
Flexion decrease joint angle; moves forward, away from anatomical position
Extension increase in joint ankle; moves backwards to anatomical position
Hyperextension moving past anatomical position
Adduction moving a limb toward the midline of the body
Abduction moving a limb laterally away from the midline of the body
Protraction scapula or mandible moves forward
Retraction scapula or mandible pulled posteriorly
Circumduction movement of a body region circularly
Medial (internal) rotation anterior surface of the limb moves toward the midline of the body
Lateral (external) rotation anterior surface of a limb moves away from midline of the body
Supination move palm anteriorly
Pronation move palm posteriorly
Eversion soles of feet face outward
Inversion soles of feet face inward
Plantar flexion lifting the heel of the foot from the ground; pointing toes downward
Dorsiflexion lifting the front of the foot; top of foot moves toward anterior leg
Elevation lift/move up
Depression lower/move down
Only diarthrosis joint in the skull and the bones articulating temporomandibular joint; the articular tubercle of the temporal bone and the mandibular fossa articulate
What type of synovial joint is the temporomandibular joint? hinge, plane
Why functional type is a suture joint in the adult skull? synarthrosis
How much movement is allowed between bones at a suture joint? no movement
What specific type of synovial joint is the glenohumeral joint? ball and socket
What functional type is a glenohumeral joint? diarthrosis
Four muscle tendons that form the rotator cuff subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor
What specific type of synovial joint is the humeroulnar joint? hinge
Name the type of motion that is permitted at the humeroulnar joint? flexion and extension
What specific type of synovial joint is the proximal radioulnar joint? pivot
What movement is possible is possible at the proximal radioulnar joint and the distal radioulnar joint? supination and pronation
What is the function of the interosseous membrane? maintains the interosseous space between the radius and the ulna through forearm rotation and actively transfers forces from the radius to the ulna
Specific type of synovial joint of interphalangeal joints hinge
Movement of interphalangeal joints flexion and extension
Specific type of synovial joint of metacarpophalangeal joints condylar
Movement of metacarpophalangeal joints flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, circumduction, and opposition at thumb; gliding at other digits
Specific type of synovial joint of radiocarpal joints condylar
Movement of radiocarpal joints abduction, adduction, circumduction, flexion and extension at wrist
Specific type of synovial joint of the coxal joint ball and socket
Which menisci is firmly attached to a collateral ligament? medial menisci
Specific type of synovial joint of tibiofemoral joint hinge
Two true talocrural movements plantar flexion and dorsiflexion
Specific type of synovial joint of talocrural joint hinge
Movement of the atlantoaxial joint rotation of the head
Specific type of synovial joint of atlantoaxial joint pivot
What typical vertebral feature is absent on the atlas? the body
Specific type of synovial joint of vertebrocostal joints plane
What functional type of cartilaginous symphysis is the intervertebral joint? amphiarthrosis

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
