Potpourri
100
This joint, which is Greek for "bolting together" is found between the tooth and the wall of it's dermal socket
What is gomphosis joint.
100
This uniaxial joint can be found at the elbow between the humerus and ulna.
What is a hinge joint.
100
Bands of fibrous connective tissue designed to hold the two bones of a joint closely together.
What is a ligament.
100
Flexion, extension and hyperextension primarily occur in this plane of motion.
What is sagittal plane.
100
The number of degrees of freedom contained within the hip joint.
What is three.
200
This fibrous joint is the least movable of all of the joints in the body.
What is a synarthrosis joint
200
The only triaxial joints in the body.
What is the glenohumeral and hip joints.
200
Found at the end of long bones, this structure can withstand great amounts of pressure and tension.
What is hyaline or articular cartilage.
200
This plane divides the body into top and bottom portions.
What is transverse plane.
200
A complete or partial tearing of a ligament.
What is a sprain.
300
This can be found between the two bones of an amphiarthrodial joint.
What is cartilage. (Fibrocartilage or hyaline cartilage)
300
This joint has both convex and concave surfaces on each side of the joint.
What is a saddle or sellar joint.
300
This structure surrounds every synovial joint to protect the articular surfaces of the joint.
What is a joint capsule.
300
This axis is required for a joint to perform a sagittal plane motion.
What is frontal plane axis of rotation.
300
This joint pathology is characterized by an inflammation of the tendon sheath caused by repetitive use.
What is tenosynovitis.
400
There is no rotation around an axis in these joints, where gliding between the surfaces is the only joint motion available.
What is non-axial or plane joints.
400
The MCP joint is an example of this type of joint.
What is condyloid joint.
400
This fibrocartilaginous structure deepens the joint articulating surfaces of the shoulder and hip
What is a labrum.
400
Thumb flexion and extension occur in this plane of motion, and requires this axis of rotation.
What is frontal plane motion around a sagittal axis of rotation.
400
This plane that divides the body into equal sections.
What is the cardinal plane.
500
A characteristic of synovial joints that distinguishes it from the other joint types.
What is joint cavity, synovial fluid, synovial membrane, no union between the bone ends, and has a joint capsule
500
This type of synovial joint is an example of a non-axial joint.
What is a plane joint.
500
These are small, pad-like sacs of synovial fluid found in or around joints, which serve to reduce friction between tendons and bony prominences.
What is a bursa.
500
This determines the effect a muscle will have on a specific joint.
What is how the muscle passes in relationship to its joint axis of rotation.
500
The number of degrees of freedom from the shoulder joint to the tip of the middle finger.
What is eleven.
