Synovial Joint Classifications
This joint has one degree of motion and does only flexion and extension.
Hinge
This tissue is elastic and helps prevent injury due to the "give"
Elastin
The elbow is _______ to the shoulder
The medial-lateral axis of motion.
Sagittal Plane
New points on each joint surface come into contact throughout the motion.
Roll
This joint is located in the hip
Ball and Socket Joint
This type of tissue is a fiber, it is thick and resists stretching.
Type I collagen
The internal intercostals are _______ to the external intercostals.
Deep
The anterior-posterior axis of motion.
Frontal Plane
Linear movement of a joint surface parallel to the plane of the adjoining joint surface
Slide (or Glide)
This joint is located in the thumb
Saddle Joint
This tissue has collagen and elastin within a saturated matrix
This kinematic motion focuses on the manner in which bones move in space.
Osteokinematics
The superior-inferior axis of motion.
Transverse Plane
A single point on one surface rotates on a single point on another surface.
Spin
This joint has two degrees of motion and moves on a spherical convex surface and concave cup.
Condyloid Joint
This tissue is found in ligaments, tendons, and fibrous capsules
Type II Collagen
This type of kinematic motion is for measuring the arc of motion around a fixed axis of rotation. For example the pivot point.
Angular Motion
This plane divides the body into top and bottom parts
Transverse Plane
A single point on one surface contacts multiple points on another surface throughout the motion.
Slide (or Glide)
This joint is located proximal radioulnar
Pivot Joint
This fibrous tissue provides a flexible framework to maintain the shape and consistency of the structures
Type !! Collagen
The elbow is _______ to the shoulder
Distal
This plane does abduction and adduction
Frontal Plane
Convex on Concave
