joint jeopardy

These joints have no joint cavity and exhibit little or no movement:

fibrous

These specialized joints consist of pegs that fit into sockets and are held together by regular collagenous connective tissue:

gomphoses

The joint found in between the intervertebral discs is:

symphysis

This extension of the synovial membrane extends as a pocket to provide a cushion between structures that would rub against each other:

bursa

These are all hinge joints found between these bones except:

a. femur and tibia

b. phalanges

c. humerus and ulna and radius

d. atlas and axis

d. atlas and axis

Flexion at the knee moves the leg in an anterior direction.

True/False

False

This movement consists of moving a structure in a gliding motion in an anterior direction:

protraction

Abduction of the fingers will do this:

spread them apart

This movement of the forearm will allow you to hold a bowl of soup in your hands:

supination

These movements will move the right upper limb from the anatomical position to touch the right side of the head with the fingertips

shoulder flexion/ elbow flexion

shoulder abduction/ elbow flexion

The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint between the head of the humerus and glenoid cavity (fossa) of the scapula.

True/False

True

These movements are possible at the temperomandibular joint except:

rotation

The following describe the elbow joint:

a. hinge

b. can produce rotation

c. olecranon bursa covers olecranon process

d. surrounded by joint capsule

all of these

This structure helps to stabilize the shoulder joint:

rotator cuff muscles

This statement about a shoulder dislocation is true:

a. most common dislocated joint

b. usually occurs inferior to the axilla

c. axillary nerve can be damaged

d. all are true

e. b and c only

all are true

The hip joint is an ellipsoid (condyloid) joint, which is a modified ball and socket joint.

True/False

false

The hip joint is formed by these bone features:

femoral head and acetabulum

This movement is produced at the knee joint:

flexion and extension

A sprained ankle is most often a result of this:

torn calcaneofibular ligament

This ligament can be torn when the knee receives a blow to the anterior surface or if it is hyperextended:

anterior cruciate ligament

This synovial joint is the most freely movable:

ball and socket

This kind of movement occurs in ballet when dancers point their toes:

plantarflexion

In some elderly, when a suture becomes ossified, two bones grow together to become a single bone. This is called:

synostosis

The ulnar collateral and radial collateral ligament are found in this joint:

elbow

This condition is a severe form of arthritis that is an autoimmune attack against the joint tissue:

rheumatoid arthritis

These are all results of the aging of joints except:

a. production decline of synovial fluid

b. production decline of new matrix

c. ligaments and tendons stretch

d. tissue repair slows

ligaments and tendons stretch
