All synovial joints are __. Diarthryoses - freely moving.
5 Distinguishing features of synovial joints. (1) Articular cartilage, (2) Joint cavity, (3) articular capsule, (4) synovial fluid, (5) reinforcing ligaments.
What is unique to synovial joints? Joint cavity.
Synovial membrane is composed of __. Loose connective tissue.

Intracapsular ligaments are covered w/__. Synovial membrane.
Articular discs in synovial joints occur __. In knee, jaw, & other joints.
Bursae Flattened fibrous sacs lined w/synovial fluid.
Where are bursae common? Where ligaments, skin, tendons, or bones rub.
Tendon sheath. An elongated bursa that wraps completely around a tendon.
3 Stability factors in synovial joints. (1) Shape of articular surfaces, (2) number & position of ligaments, & (3) muscle tone.
What determines what movements are possible at a joint? The shape of articular surfaces.
How far can a ligament stretch? 6% before it snaps.
Most important joint stabilizing factor. Muscle tone & muscle tendons.
Origin Place where muscle attaches to less moving bone.
Insertion Place where muscle is attached to movable bone.
Insertion moves __ their orgin. Toward
Plane Joints Flat articular surfaces that allow gliding motions - intercarpals/intertarsal joints & vertebrae.
What is the only example of nonaxial joints? Gliding joints - vertebrae, intercarpal & intertarsal.
Hinge Joint Motion along a single plane - flexion & extension - elbow & interphalangeal joints.
Piviot Joints Rounded end of one bone protrudes into ring of another bone/ligament - uniaxial rotation.
Give two examples of a pivot joint. Atlas & dens. Radioulnar joint.
Condyloid Joints Ovalsurface fits into depression - Permits angular motion - biaxial.
Give 2 examples of condyloid joints. Radiocarpal (wrist) & knucle joints.
Saddle Joints Shaped like saddle - twiddling thumbs.
Ball-and-Socket Joints Spherical head & cuplike socket - multiaxial.
Give 2 examples of ball-and-socket joints. Shoulder & hips.
What is the largest & most complex joint in the body? Knee - allows extension, flexion, & some rotation.
How many joints in knee? 3 - Femoropatellar, tibiofemoral, & menisci.
The menisci helps prevent __. Side-to-side rocking of femur on tibia.
Name one way knee joint is unique. Only partially enclosed by a capsule.
What muscle is tapped by physicians in knee-jerk? Patellar ligament.
Which bursa is often injured when bumping knee? Subcutaneous prepatellar bursa.
What prevents lateral or medial knee rotation? Fibular & tibial collateral ligaments.
What stabilizes posterior of knee joint? Oblique popliteal ligament.
ACL of knee Attaches to anterior - prevents hyperextension of knee - Anterior Cruciate Ligament.
PCL of knee Attached to posterior to prevent backward displacement - Posterior Cruciate Ligament
Knee capsule heavily reinforced by strong tendons of the __ muscles. Quadriceps.
Which muscle "unlocks" the knee? Popliteus Muscle
Knee is very vulnerable to __ blows. Horizontal
3 C's of common knee injuries. Collateral ligaments, cruciate ligaments, & cartilages (menisci).
Most ACL injuries occur when __. Twisting a hyperextended knee.
Elbow Joint Hinge that allows flexion & extension only.
What capsule surrounds head of radius? Anular Ligament
Side-to-side movements in elbow restricted by which ligaments? Ulnar collateral ligament (medially) & radial collateral ligament (laterally).
Name 2 muscles whose tendons cross the elbow joint. Biceps & triceps.
What is the most freely moving joint in the body? Shoulder (glenohumeral) joint.
The should joint is a __ joint. Ball-and-socket.
Where is the glenoid cavity? Scapula & used for shoulder joint.
Coracohumeral Ligament In shoulder - helps support weight of upper limb.
What is the "suerstabilizer" of shoulder joint? Long head of biceps brachii muscle of arm.
What is a labrum? Circular rim of fibrocartilage that helps hold joint.
What kind of joint is the hip (coxal) joint? Ball-and-socket joint
Hip joint is made up of which bones? Head of femur & acetabulum of hip.
Sacroiliac Joint made of which bones? Sacrum & coxal bone.
What 2 bones make up knee joint? Femur & tibia
What bones make up the ankle? Tibia & fibula w/talus
What contributes most to stability of hip? Deep socket that encloses femoral head & strong ligaments.
Where is the TMJ? Jaw joint - anterior to ear.
