1
Joints
structures in the skeleton where two or more bones join together
New cards
2
Fibrous Joints
fibrous connective tissue tightly binds the articulation bones
New cards
3
Types of Fibrous Joints
suture, syndesmosis, gomphosis
New cards
4
Suture
joint between two flat bones
New cards
5
Syndesmosis
bands of fibrous tissue that bind bones
New cards
6
Gomphosis
fibrous membrane that connects each tooth to its socket in a jaw's alveolar process
New cards
7
Example of syndesmosis
between tibia and fibula
New cards
8
Cartilaginous Joints
formed when a mass of cartilage joins bones
New cards
9
Types of Cartilaginous Joints
synchondrosis, symphisis
New cards
10
Synchondrosis
hyaline cartilage that connects bones
New cards
11
Example of synchondrosis
costal cartilage connection between a rib and the sternum
New cards
12
Symphysis
fibrocartilage that forms the joint
New cards
13
Example of symphysis
symphysis pubis, joining left and right coxae, or between bodies of vertebrae
New cards
14
Synovial Joints
diarthrotic (freely moveable joints) composed of ligaments and other connective structures and lined with a lubricating synovial membrane
New cards
15
Types of Synovial Joints
gliding, hinge, ellipsoid (condyloid), pivot, saddle, ball-and-socket
New cards
16
Gliding
two flat surfaces that slide past eachother
New cards
17
Example of gliding
between two carpal bones
New cards
18
Hinge
two bones joined so that they can move in one plane only
New cards
19
Example of hinge
elbow or knee
New cards
20
Ellipsoid
oval condyle that fits into an oval fossa allowing movement in two planes
New cards
21
Example of ellipsoid
between metatarsals and phalanges of the foot
New cards
22
Pivot
one bone that pivots on the axis of another, allowing rotation
New cards
23
Example of pivot
atlas and axis
New cards
24
Saddle
two saddle-shaped processes that fit together to allow movement in two planes
New cards
25
Example of saddle
between the thumb's metatarsal and the trapezium of the wrist.
New cards
26
Ball-and-Socket
a ball-shaped process that fits into a rounded fossa, allowing almost unrestricted movement
New cards
27
Example of ball-and-socket
between the head of the femur and the acetabulum
New cards
28
Getting Help Prepares Every Student Better
gliding, hinge, pivot, ellipsoid, saddle, ball-and-socket- synovial joints
New cards
29
Flexion
decreasing the angle of a joint
New cards
30
Extension
increasing the angle of a joint
New cards
31
Hyperextension
moving a joint beyond its normal range
New cards
32
Dorsiflexion
bending of the foot or the toes upward (superiorly)
New cards
33
Plantar flexion
bending of the sole of the foot by curling the toes toward the ground ( inferiorly)
New cards
34
Protraction
moving a part anteriorly (front) along a horizontal plane
New cards
35
Retraction

moving a bone on its axis, as if on a pivot or axle
New cards
42
Pronation
turning the palm downward
New cards
43
Supination
palm facing up
New cards
44
Elevation
raising a body part
New cards
45
Depression
lowering a body part
New cards
46
Saggital plane movements
