Joints
This is the articulation between bones
What is joints?
Movement stops when soft tissue approximates. (ex. knee and elbow flexion)
What is soft end feel?
This skeleton is composed of the head, neck, and trunk.
What is the axial skeleton?
This is the spongy tissue found in long bones.
What is cancellous tissue?
This is the passage through a bone where nerves, blood vessels, or ligaments pass?
What is the foramen?
These types of joints are non-axial.
What are plane and gliding joints?
This is bone on bone. (ex. elbow extension)
What is hard end feel?
This skeleton attaches to the axial skeleton.
What is the appendicular skeleton?
This is the layer of tissue found in long bones that is opaque on an x-ray.
What is compact bone?
This is a rounded knuckle-like projection.
What is a condyle?
This type of joint allows for 3 directions of movement.
What is tri-axial?
This is due to ligament/joint laxity & instability and feels like it has no end.
What is open/loose end feel?
This skeleton comprises the bones of limbs including shoulder and pelvic girdles.
What is the appendicular skeleton?
This is the shaft of the long bone.
What is the Diaphysis?
This is a thin projection.
What is a spine?
This is an example of a hinge joint that allows for 1 direction of motion.
What is an elbow OR knee?
These are the 6 types of end feels.
What are soft, firm, hard, empty, squishy/spongy, and open?
This skeleton protects the vital organs.
What is the axial skeleton?
This part of the bone structure is known as the "growth plate."
What is the Epiphyseal Plate?
Epicondyles are found above or below condyles.
What is the relationship between epicondyles and condyles?
Name the 6 types of joints.
What are plane/gliding, hinge, pivot, saddle, condyloid, and ball and socket.
A convex joint surface will glide on a fixed concave surface in the opposite direction as the end of the moving bone farthest from the joint at which motion occurs.
What is Convex on Concave?
The concept is that bone density increased in response to increased forces imposed.
What is Wolff's Law?
These bone cells reabsorb old bone.
What are osteoclasts?
This is the difference between tubercles and tuberosities.
What is tuberosities are small, rounded projections and tuberosities are large, rounded projections.
