Knee
The knee joint is classified as what type of synovial joint?
Hinge Joint
The shoulder joint is the articulation between these two bones
humerus and scapula
The fluid inside a synovial joint that reduces friction
Synovial fluid
Joints are defined as being.....
The points of contact between two or more bones
Joints that are totally moveable and often the sites of movement related injuries
Synovial
The two bones that form the main structure of the knee joint
Femur and Tibia
The shoulder joint’s great mobility makes it this type of joint in terms of classification
ball-and-socket joint
These tough bands of connective tissue connect bone to bone
Ligaments
These types of joints are not moveable
Fibrous
This movement rotates the arm inward toward the body
Internal rotation
The small bone that sits in front of the knee joint and helps protect it.
Patella
The ligament that connects the clavicle to the acromion process
acromioclavicular (AC) ligament
These attach muscles to bones and help stabilize joints
Tendons
The shoulder’s incredible range of motion comes at the cost of this
Stability
The elbow is an example of what type of synovial joint
hinge joint
Meniscus (medial and lateral)
The joint that connects the clavicle to the scapula
acromioclavicular joint
The wrist joint, which allows movement in two planes, is this type
condyloid (ellipsoidal) joint
The strongest synovial joint in the body
hip joint
The knee joint allows movement mostly in this plane.
Sagittal
The knee joint is stabilized by these four key ligaments
ACL,PCL,LCL,MCL
The socket of the shoulder joint is called this shallow cavity on the scapula
glenoid cavity
The carpometacarpal joint of the thumb is an example of what type of synovial joint
Saddle
The largest joint in the human body
The knee
This “Q angle” describes the angle formed by the quadriceps and this body landmark
Patella
