Joint Types
Joints can be classified by the type of connective tissue they contain and this
What is degree of movement
Each upper limb contains these 3 long bones
What are the Humerus, radius and ulna
This is the largest bone of a lower limb
What is the femur
The largest portion of the pelvis
What is the ilium
Moving towards the midline
What is adduction
This describes a joint which does not move
what is Synarthrotic
This is the bone in the forearm which is closest to the thumb
What is the radius
This is the bone which covers the knee joint
What is the patella
The rounded inferior bones of the pelvic girdle
What is the ischium
Moving upwards
What is elevation
Most Diarthrotic joints contain this fluid which acts as a lubricant for movement
What is synovial fluid
The structure of the Humerus which sits in the trochlear notch of the ulna
What is the trochlea
This structure is located on the anterior portion of the tibia
What is the anterior crest
These bones articulate at the base of the pelvis to form the pelvic arch
What are the pubis bones
What is a medial rotation
This type of synovial joint contains two complementary bones which fit together. An example is the carpal and metacarpal of the thumb.
What is a saddle joint
This is the structure at the base of the radius which attaches to ligaments of the carpals
What is the styloid process
The medial and lateral malleolus of the tibia and fibula both articulate with these inferior bones
What are the tarsals
Each side of the pelvis articulates posteriorly with this bone
What is the sacrum
Rotating the forearm so the palm is facing downwards
What is pronation
Cartilaginous joints contain either of these two types of cartilage
What is hyaline and fibrocartilage
The phalange missing a medial phalanx
The largest bone of the foot
What is the calcaneus
This cartilaginous structure makes the base of the pelvis
What is the pubis symphysis
The plantar facing medially
