Types of Joints
Occurs when two separate bones fuse to become one and are immmovable.
what are bony joints or synostosis
diarthrotic joints
Fluid filled sacs
What are bursae
A decrease in the joint angle from anatomical position (HINT: bending your below)
What is a flexion
Runs from the quadriceps femoris muscle to the patella
What is patellar tendon
What are joints that connect one bone to another with collagenous fibers
What are Fibrous joints
What are fibers that bone to bone
What is Ligaments
layer of connective tissue that lines the cavities of joints, tendon sheaths, and bursae
what is a synovial membrane
A return to the anatomical position of a part of the body that was flexed.
What is extension
Connects the patella and tibial tuberosity
What are Patellar ligament
What are bones held together by cartilage
What is cartilaginous joint
Absorbs shocks and helps equalize pressure between adjacent vertebrae when the body moves
what is an intervertebral disk
Bones that are joined by a joint cavity that contains this lubricating fluid, and reduces friction when you move your joints
what is synovial fluid
A horizontal movement in the anterior direction, as in jutting the chin forward
What is a protraction
Tibia is connected to the calcaneus talus, and navicular by fibers of the ?
What are medial ligament
What are the three types of fibrous joints
what are sutures, syndesmosis, and gomphosis
This joint is formed from the tibia, fibula, and talus
what is the talocrural joint or ankle joint
Example of this joint would be the humerus and ulna (HINT: Think types of synovial joints!)
What is a hinge joint
What is a supination
What are the wedge-shaped pads of fibrocarrtilage that provides a cusion between the femur and tibia
What is the medial and lateral meniscis
What are joints that allow for extensive movement
What is synovial joints
This join is the largest, most complex join of the body and consists of several major ligaments.
what is tibiofemoral joint or knee joint
Flattened shock absorbing pads of fibrocartilage that appear in some synovial joints
What are menisci
Is the movement of a muscle in a conical shape, with the point of the cone being proximal
What is circumduction
What deepens the hip socket?
What is acetabular labrum
