Lateral movement away from the midline of the trunk.
What is Abduction
100
Inflammation of bursae
What is Bursitis
100
Dense regular arrangement of collagen fibers that attach bone to bone.
What is Ligaments
100
Allows movement in many directions around a central point. A ball-shaped convex surface fits into a concave socket. Movements are flexion, extension, abduction, adduction and rotation.
What is Ball & Socket joint
100
This is a joint located between the occipital and parietal bones.
What is Lambdoidal suture.
200
Circular movement of a limb, combining the movements of flexion, extension, abduction and adduction.
What is Circumduction
200
Also known as tennis elbow, due to repetitive extension of the wrist or pronation/supination of the forearm.
What is Lateral Epicondylosis
200
Dense regular connective tissue that connects muscle to bone.
What is Tendon
200
Allow rotation around the length of the bone. One component is shaped like a ring and the other component is shaped such that its rotates within the ring.
What is Pivot joint.
200
This joint is located between the clavicle and the scapula forming the shoulder girdle.
What is Acromioclavicular joint.
300
Medial rotation of the radius where it lies diagonally across the ulna, resulting in the palm-down position of the forearm.
What is Pronation.
300
A result of normal wear and tear in a joint, it progresses with age. Also known as degenerative joint disease.
What is Osteoarthritis
300
Fluid-filled sac located between bones and soft structures (skin, muscle, tendons, ligaments). Their presence reduces friction.
What is Bursae
300
A joint in which a thin layer of hyaline cartilage connects the two bones.
What is Synchondrosis
300
Formed between the radius and the scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum. Movements seen are flexion, extension, ulnar deviation and radial deviation.
What is Radiocarpal joint
400
Turning of the sole of the foot inward or medially.
What is inversion.
400
The most common immune-related form of inflammatory joint disease.
What is Rheumatoid Arthritis
400
An avascular connective tissue located at the ends of long bones designed to reduce friction during joint movement.
What is Hyaline cartilage
400
Joints that allow slight movement. Examples would be symphysis and synchondrosis.
What is Amphiarthrosis
400
Formed between the talus, tibia and fibula. Movements seen include dorsiflexion and plantar flexion.
What is Talocrural joint
500
Rotary movement of the scapula such that the glenoid fossa orients downward (the inferior angle of the scapula moves medially). The movement occurs when the acromion process moves down.
What is Downward rotation
500
Caused by a disturbance of metabolism of uric acid. Increase in uric acid forms crystals in joint cavity.
What is Crystal-Induced (Gouty) arthritis
500
The combination of resistance offered by a fluid to a change of form and the ability of material to return to its original state after deformation.
What is Viscoelasticity.
500
A fibrous joint where a ligament, cord, or aponeurotic membrane joins the articulating bones. Ex. interosseous membrane in the leg.
What is Syndesmosis
500
Formed between the tibia, femur and patella. This joint is large and complex, containing many articular structures.
