classification of joints FUNCTIONS Bones -
• U pper : nume
- Fibrous Joints: Fixed, strong, most stable skeletal system - sternum, mandib
- cartilaginous Joints: stable, slightly moveable, - protection • Lower: Femu
reduces friction when moving - support hip girdle, pate
- synovial Joints: Freely moveable, unstable, high - mineral storage muscles -
level of mobility. - blood production • posterior: tric
Types Of Synovial Joints: - movement major, latissim
• hinge - flexion, extension (elbow + knee) • Anterior: bicep
• ball and socket - flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, circumduction, rotation (hip, shoulder) muscular system - soleus, tibialis
• gliding - rotation, flexion, extension (wrist, ankle) - provides shape and structure
• ellipsoid/condyloid - flexion, extension, plantar flexion, dorsi flexion (wrist, ankle) - contracting to create movement MUSCLE CON
• pivot - rotation (neck) - isometric (no m
• saddle - flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, circumduction (thumb) - isotonic
skeletal system - concentric
sporting examples - ① Axial eccentric -
Hinge - bicep curl protects vital organs Example: is
Ball and socket - swimming: front crawl ribs, vertebral column, skull, sternum
Gliding - dancing : pointing toes in ballet ② Appendicular
Ellipsoid / Condyloid- holding racket in tennis - provides movement
pivot - turning head in swimming to breath upper + lower limbs, shoulder + pelvic girdle
saddle - thumb curled around a bar in weight lifting.
