What are the structural classifications for joints? - Answer fibrous
cartilaginous
synovial
What are the functional classification for joints? - Answer synarthroses - immovable joints
amphiarthroses - slightly immovable joints
diathroses - freely movable joints
What are sutures fibrous joints? - Answer found connecting bones of the skull (immovable)
What are syndesmoses fibrous joints? - Answer longer fibers than sutures, length
determines the amount of movement (slightly moveable)
What are gomphoses fibrous joints? - Answer short ligament that connect teeth to their
sockets
What are synchondroses cartilaginous joints? - Answer immovable joints that are a bar or a
plate of cartilage that join two bones together (epiphyseal plate)
What are symphyses cartilaginous joints? - Answer fibrocartilage sandwiched between
articular cartilage and held together by ligament. these joints are slightly movable and can be
found in the vertebrae
What is gliding (in reference to movements by synovial joints)? - Answer flat bone surface
slide across each other's surface both back and forth as well as side to side (carpals or the wrist
and tarsals of the foot)
What is angular movement (in reference to movements by synovial joints)? - Answer
increasing or decreasing the angle between two bones
What is flexion? - Answer reduces the angle between bones
What is extension? - Answer increases the angle between bones
,What is hyperextension? - Answer occurs when the extension goes beyond the normal
upright position
What is dorsiflexion? - Answer flexion of the foot pointing up towards the body
What is plantar flexion? - Answer flexion of the foot down away from the body
What is abduction? - Answer movement of the limb away from the midline of the body
What is adduction? - Answer movement of the limb towards the midline of the body
What is circumduction? - Answer moving the distal portion of a limb in a circular direction
What is rotation (in reference to movements by synovial joints)? - Answer the turning of a
bone around its long axis
What is supination? - Answer turning backward (referring to the movement of the radius and
ulna)
What is pronation? - Answer turning forward (referring to the movement of the radius and
ulna)
What is inversion (referring to the movement of the foot)? - Answer the sole of the foot
faces medially
What is eversion (referring to the movement of the foot)? - Answer the sole of the foot faces
laterally
What is protraction? - Answer non angular movement of bone anteriorly
What is retraction? - Answer non angular movement of bone posteriorly
What is elevation? - Answer movement of a body part superiorly
What is depression? - Answer movement of a body part inferiorly
, What is opposition - Answer action that occurs when thumb moves to touch the tips of other
digits
Where can gliding/planar joints be found? - Answer carpel bones of the wrist and the tarsal
bones of the ankle
Where can hinge joints be found? - Answer knee and elbow
Where can condyloid joints be found? - Answer metacarpals/metatarsals and the phalanges
Where can saddle joints be found? - Answer thumb (metacarpal and trapezium)
Where can pivot joints be found? - Answer atlas and axis
radius and ulna
Where can ball and socket joints be found ? - Answer shoulder and hip
What is a sprain? - Answer the ligaments (connects bone to bone) of a joint are stretched or
torn
What is a strain? - Answer the tendons (muscle to bone or muscles) of a joint are stretched
or torn
What is a dislocation? - Answer when bones are forced out of alignment (relative to joint
capsule) (bone completely out of socket)
What is sublixation? - Answer a partial dislocation of a joint
What is bursitis? - Answer inflammation of a bursa
What is tendonitis? - Answer inflammation of the tendon sheath
What is arthritis? - Answer inflammation or degenerative disease which damages the joints
What is osteoarthritis? - Answer most common type of arthritis and is often seen in the
elderly is caused from wear and tear of the articular cartilage in the joints which late their
ability to be replaced
