hyaline cartilage
What separates the articular surfaces?
joint cavity
What is the lubricant in a synovial joint?
synovial fluid
What is synovial fluid made up of?
albumin & hyaluronic acid
What is located in the joint capsule?
connective tissue capsule
What is in the inner synovial membrane?
Areolar CT with fibroblast like cells and macrophages
What attaches muscle to bone?
tendon made up of tough collagenous connective tissue
What attaches bone-bone?
Ligament made up of tough connective tissue
What is a bursa function/location?
fibrous sac filled with synovial fluid, located between adjacent muscles, where tendon passes over bone, or between bone and skin
What is an elongated cylindrical bursae wrapped around a tendon?
tendon sheaths
What is the function of a lever?
any elongated, rigid object that rotates around a fixed point called a fulcrum
What is a first-class lever?
has a fulcrum between resistance & effort
Atlanto-occipital joint is an example of what lever?
first class
What is a second-class lever?
resistance between the fulcrum and effort
Resistance from the muscle tone of the temporalis muscle lies between the jaw joint and the pull of the digastric muscle on the chin as it opens the mouth quickly
second class
What is a third-class lever?
effort between the resistance and the fulcrum
effort applied by the biceps muscle is applied to the forearm
third class
ROM
range of motion- the degrees through which a joint can move
What determines the ROM?
structure of the articular surface, ligaments and joint capsules, and muscle tones
Ball-and-socket joint
head of humerus(shoulder)
-smooth head fits within a cuplike socket
Hinge joint
humerus & ulna(elbow)
-one bone with convex surface fits into a concave depression on other bone
Pivot joint
radius & ulna (bone spins)
-one bone has a projection that is held in place by a ring like ligament
Plane joint
intercarpals
-flat articular surfaces in which bones slide over each other with relatively limited movement
Saddle joint
carpal to metacarpal
-noth bones have articular surface that is concave in one direction and convex in the other
condylar joint
metacarpal to phalanx
-oval convex surface on one bone fits into concave depression on the other
What is the zero position?
the position any joint is in when a person is in a standard position
flexion
decrease the joint angle
extension
increase in the joint angle to zero position
hyperextension
