1033503780jointsholds bones together but permits movement. between 2 bones, cartilage and bone, or teeth and bones
1033503781ligamentsconnects bone to bone
1033503782tendonsconnects muscle to bone
1033503783arthrologythe study of joints
1033503784kinesiologythe study of motion
1033503785synarthrosisimmovable joints
1033503786amphiarthrosisslightly movable joint
1033503787diarthrosisfreely movable joints
1033503788functional classification______________ of joints is based upon movement
1033503789structural classification____________________ of joints is based upon the material (that holds) the bones together and whether there is a joint cavity
1033503790fibrousbones joined by fibrous tissue, no joint cavity
1033503791cartilaginousbones united by cartilage, no joint cavity
1033503792synovialbones are separated by fluid filled cavity
1033503793suturessite where syndesmoses join together
1033503794synchondrosismade of cartilage that is non movable
1033503795syndesmosesmembrane bones joined by fibrous connective tissue
1033503796symphysissomewhat flexible pubic joint
1033503797synovial jointsalso known as movable diarthrosis joints
1033503798articular cartilagemade of a continuous piece of hyaline cartilage (reduces friction and absorbs shock)
1033503799articular capsulemade of connective tissue and is continuous with the periostium (surrounds joint)
1033503800synovial membraneinner lining of capsule (secretes synovial fluid containing hyaluronic acid [slippery])
1033503801bursafluid-filled sac-like extensions of the joint capsule. reduces friction between moving structures
1033503802bursitischronic inflammation of a bursa caused by excessive friction or bacterial infection
1033503803types of diarthrosisplanar, hinge, pivot, condyloid, saddle, ball and socket (6)
1033503804planar jointsbone surfaces are flat or slightly curved side to side movement only
1033503805hinge jointsconvex surface of one bone fits into concave surface of 2nd bone movements produced in one direction
1033503806anterior cruciate_____________ ______________ ligament A C L
1033503807posterior cruciate______________ ________________ ligament P C L
1033503808medial collateral____________ ______________ ligament M C L
1033503809lateral collateral_________________ __________________ ligament L C L
1033503810pivot jointrounded surface of bone articulates with ring formed by 2nd bone and ligament allows rotation around longitudinal axis
1033503811condyloid jointoval-shaped projection fits into hollow oval cavity all movement except axial rotation
1033503812saddle jointone bone saddle shaped; other bone fits as a person would sitting in that saddle moves like condyloid
1033503813ball and socket jointball fitting into a cuplike depression any type of movement (MULTIAXIAL)
1033503814flexoindecreasing the joint angle
1033503815extensionincreasing the joint angle
1033503816hyperextensionopening the joint beyond the anatomical position
1033503817abductionmoving a part away from the midline of the body
1033503818adductionmoving a part towards the midline of the body
1033503819circumductionmovement of a distal end of a body part in a circle combination of extension, adduction, and abduction occurs at ball and socket, saddle, and condyloid joints
1033503820rotationbone revolves around its longitudinal acis medial rotation is turning of anterior surface towards the midline lateral rotation is turning of anterior surface away from the midline at ball and socket and pivot type joints
1033503821elevationraising a body part upward
1033503822depressionlowering a body part
1033503823protractionmoving a body part foreward
1033503824retractionmoving a body part backward
1033503825inversionturning the foot so the plantar surface faces medially
1033503826eversionturning the foot so the plantar surface faces laterally
1033503827plantarflexionmovement at the ankle that brings the foot farther from the shin (toes)
1033503828dorsiflexionmovement at the ankle that brings the foot closer to the shin (heels)
1033503829supinationturning the hand so that the palm is upward or facing anteriorly
1033503830pronationturning the hand so that the palm is downward or facing posteriorly
1033503831sprainan injury to the ligaments around a joint
1033503832ricetreatment of a sprain rest ice compression elevation brace
1033503833dislocationsudden impact causes bones at a joint to not connect
1033503834arthritisinflammation of one or more joints pain swelling limited moblilty
1033503835rheumatoid arthritisautoimmune disorder cartilage attacked synovial membrane thickens forming a pannus
1033503836osteoarthritisdegenerative joint disease
1033503837gouty arthritisuric acid build up in joints causing pain bones fuse
1033503838bone spurabnormal projection from a bone to due bone overgrowth in response to pressure or stress
