Skeletal system
What is the collar bone known as
What is the clavicle
the part of the body where two or more bones meet to allow movement.
What is a joint
multiaxial joints that allow for flexion and extension, abduction and adduction, circumduction, and medial and lateral rotation.
What is a ball and socket joint
where the limb moves in a circular movement around a fixed joint towards or away from the midline of the body. This occurs in the hip in golf while performing a drive shot.
What is rotation
the foot moves towards the shin as if you are pulling your toes up. This movement only occurs at the ankle.
What is Dorseflexion
What is the jaw known as
What is the Mandible
The types of freely moveable joints
What type of joints are ball and socket, saddle, hinge, condyloid, pivot and gliding joints.
two basic types of movement, known as flexion-extension and abduction-adduction
What is a saddle joint
straightening a joint. This occurs when the angle of a joint increases, for example, at the elbow when putting a shot.
What is extension in a joint
the movement of the sole towards the median plane so that the sole faces in a medial direction.
What is Inversion
What is in the forearm
What is the Ulna and Radius
when 2 or more bones are in contact but can’t move
What is a immoveable joint
a type of joint that allows bones to move in one direction back and forth with limited motion along other planes. It allows flexion and extension in one plane with small degrees of motion in other planes
What is a hinge joint
movement away from the midline of the body. This occurs at the hip and shoulder joints during a jumping jack movement.
What is Abduction
the movement of the sole away from the median plane – so that the sole faces in a lateral direction.
What is Eversion
What is in the lower leg
What is the tibia and the fibula
when 2 or more bones are held together tightly so only limited movement is allowed
What are slightly moveable joints
joints allow movement with two degrees of freedom much like saddle joints. They allow flexion/extension, abduction/adduction and therefore also allow circumduction.
What is a condyloid Joint
movement towards the midline of the body. This occurs at the hip and shoulder, returning the arms and legs back to their original position from a jumping jack movement.
What is adduction
The movement that brings the thumb and little finger together.
What is Opposition
What is in the ribs
What is the scapula, sternum and ribs
when joints can freely move.
What are freely moveable joints
a freely moveable joint that allows only rotary movement around a single axis
What is a pivot joint
this movement only occurs at the ankle, for example, pointing the toes in ballet.
What is Plantar flexion
a movement that moves the thumb and the little finger away from each other, effectively reversing opposition
What is reposition
