Term
What is flexion?
Definition

bending movement

 

decreases angle of joint

 

brings two bones closer together

 

ex) bending over anteriorly

Term
What is extension?
Definition

Increases angle of joint

 

ex) straightening up after bending over anteriorly

Definition

excessive extension

 

increase in angle beyond anatomical position or 180 degrees.

 

ex) some people's elbows go the other way.

 

ex) leaning your head back

movement of a limb away from the midline

 

ex) spreading fingers or toes apart

Definition

Movement of a limb toward the midline

 

ex) moving fingers together after spreading them out

Term
What is circumduction?
Definition

distal end moves in a circle

proximal end of limb stays stationary

caused by a combination of flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction one right after the other

 

ex) arm circles

Definition

movement of bone around its own axis

 

lateral rotation towards the outside

 

medial rotation towards the inside

 

ex) hand screwing a lightbulb

 

ex) saying 'no'

articular cartilage

 

fibrous articular capsule

 

Joint cavity

 

Reinforcing ligaments

Term
What is articular cartilage?
Definition
hyaline cartilage, covers ends of bones
Term
What is fibrous articular capsule?
Definition
surfaces are enclosed by a two layer sleeve of connective tissue
Term
what is joint cavity?
Definition
space filled with lubricating synovial fluid which has an eggwhite consistency that provides a slippery weight-bearing film that reduces the friction between the cartilages
Term
what are reinforcing ligaments?
Definition
fibrous capsule is reinforced and strengthened with ligaments
Term
What is bursae?
Definition
flattened fibrous sacs, occur where ligaments, muscles, skin, tendons, or bones rub together
Term
what is tendon sheath?

elongated bursa that wraps completely around a tendon subject to friction, like a bun around a hot dog
Term
What are three factors that affect stability?
Definition

size

 

shape

 

arrangement

Term
What is a sprain?
Definition

the ligaments reinforcing a joint are stretched or town

 

heal slowly due to lack of blood supply

 

completely ruptured ligaments must be repaired by surgery

Term
What is a dislocation?
Definition

bones are forced out of their normal postion in a joint cavity

 

usually accompanied by sprains, inflmmation and immobilization

Term
What is rheumatoid arthritis?
Definition

autoimmune disease - immune system attacks joints

 

no cure, only treat symptoms

Term
What is gouty arthritis?
Definition

when blood levels of uric acid rise, urate crystals are deposited into the joints and cause inflammation

 

can be destructive and can fuse articulating bones together
