Study Guide: Articulations

The articulation between the root of a tooth and the alveolar process of the mandible or maxilla is called the

Immovable joints are called

The radioulnar articulation is classified at which type of articulation?

The most movable joints in the body are

An example of a symphysis is

The inner surface of the joint capsule is lined with

The joint that allows for the widest range of movement is a [blank_start]ball-and-socket[blank_end] joint.

An example of a pivot joint is the

Diarthrosis and synovial joint refer to basically the same structure

The elbow joint is a ball-and-socket joint

The ability to oppose the fingers and thumb is achieved by a saddle joint.

Articulation and joint are synonymous terms.

Diarthrotic joints are the least common type of joint in the body.

There are several examples of suture articulations throughout the entire body.

Menisci are composed of hyaline cartilage.

The shoulder joint a ball-and-socket joint.

Joint between bodies of vertebrae

symphysis pubis

hip joint

The most prevalent type of joint in the body

Ball and socket: [blank_start]hip joint[blank_end], [blank_start]shoulder joint[blank_end] Condyloid: [blank_start]ellipsoidal[blank_end] Gliding: [blank_start]between faces of adjacent vertebrae[blank_end], [blank_start]least moveable group of synovial joints[blank_end] Hinge: [blank_start]elbow[blank_end], [blank_start]knee joint[blank_end] Pivot: [blank_start]dens of axis[blank_end], [blank_start]atlas joint[blank_end] Saddle: [blank_start]between first metacarpal and trapezium[blank_end]

The glenoid labrum is associated with which joint?

Perhaps the strongest ligament in the body is the

The largest and most complex joint of the body is the

The anterior cruciate ligament of the knee connects the

Vertebral bodies are connected by

Protrusion of the nucleus pulposus through the annulus fibrosus results in

The medial and lateral menisci are

Joint mice are structurally

[blank_start]goniometer[blank_end]: instrument that measures range of motion [blank_start]abduction[blank_end]: lifting the arms away from the midline [blank_start]rotation[blank_end]: turning the head as to say "no" [blank_start]flexion[blank_end]: elbow movement, as when lifting weights during a "bicep curl" [blank_start]extension[blank_end]: increasing joint angle [blank_start]hyperextension[blank_end]: moving beyond extension [blank_start]plantar flexion[blank_end]: causes extension of the leg as a whole [blank_start]inversion[blank_end]: turning sole of foot inward [blank_start]depression[blank_end]: opening your mouth [blank_start]adduction[blank_end]: bringing fingers together

Freely movable joints are [blank_start]diarthroses[blank_end].

The sutures in the skull are [blank_start]synarthrotic[blank_end].

All [blank_start]diarthrotic[blank_end] joints have a joint capsule, a joint cavity, and a layer of cartilage over the ends of the two adjoining bones.

[blank_start]Ligaments[blank_end] grow out of periosteum and attach two bones together.

The [blank_start]articular cartilage[blank_end] cushions surfaces of bones.

Gliding joints are the [blank_start]least[blank_end] movable of the diarthrotic joints.

The knee is the [blank_start]largest[blank_end] joint.

Hinge joints allow motion in [blank_start]two[blank_end] directions.

The saddle joint at the base of each of our thumbs allows for greater [blank_start]mobility[blank_end].

When you rotate your head, you are using a [blank_start]pivot[blank_end] joint.

A uniaxial joint is a synovial joint.

Joints identified as synchondroses are synovial joints.

Inflammation of the bursa is referred to as pleurity.

The main bursa of the shoulder joint is the subdeltoid bursa.

Angular movements change the size of the angle between articulating bones.

Pronation is a circular movement.

Gliding movements are the most complex of movements.

Protraction is an angular movement.

Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is more common in boys.

The knee joint has a "baker's dozen," or 13, bursae, which serve as protective pads around it.
