Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
Intercostal Space | Space Between the Ribs |
Costal Cartilage | Anterior aspect made of Hayline Cartilage between ribs and sternum & ribs and ribs ( which is tough but flexible) |
Sternoclavicular Joint | Synovial Saddle Joint - the Articulation of the Clavicles and the Clavicular Notchs of the Sternum (Elevation, Depression, Protaction, Retraction, Upper & Downward Rotation) |
Xiphoid Process | Inferior Aspect made of Cartilage, Attachment for the Diaphragm & Adbominal Muscles. Located directly over the liver |
Sternal Angle | Symphysis Joint found between the Body and Manubrium (a joint whithin a bone) allows for slight hinge when breathing |
Arthrology | the Study of Joints |
Kinesiology | the Study of Movement |
Movements in the Sagittal Plain | Flexion, Extension, Hyperextension, Dorsiflection, Plantarflextion |
Flexion | ![]() A Forward or Anterior Movement of a Bone. Usually Bringing the Anterior surfaces closer together. Except at the knee when its the Posterior surfaces. in the Sagittal Plain |
Extension | ![]() the Return to Anatomical Position from Flexion or Hyperextension. in the Sagittal Plain |
Hyperextension | ![]() Extension beyond Anatomical Position. in the Sagittal Plain |
Dorsiflexion | at the Ankle, Superior Movement of the foot at the Ankle Joint (like walking on your heels with toes lifted). in the Sagittal Plain |
Plantar Flexion | at the Ankle, Downward Movement of the foot at the Ankle Joint (like when you tippy toe). in the Sagittal Plain |
Movement in the Coronal Plane | ABduction, ADduction, Radial Deviation, Ulnar Deviation, Lateral Flexion |
ABduction | ![]() Movement Away from the Midline of the body. in the Coronal Plane |
ADduction | ![]() Movement Toward the Midline of the body. in the Coronal Plane |
Radial Deviation | ![]() at the Wrist - away from the Midline. in the Coronal Plane |
Ulnar Deviation | ![]() at the Wrist - toward the Midline. in the Coronal Plane |
Lateral Flexion | bending of the vertebral column toward the right or left. in the Coronal Plane |
Movements in the Transverse Plane | Rotation, Supination, Pronation, Horizontal ABduction, Horizontal ADduction |
Rotation | a Bone Spins on its own Axis or the Axis of another Bone. in the Transverse Plane |
Lateral Rotation (external) | anterior surface Moves Away from the Midline. in the Transverse Plane |
Medial Rotation (internal) | anterior surface Moves Towards the Midline. in the Transverse Plane |
Supination | Rotation of the Forearm so palm faces Anteriorly (palm up). in the Transverse Plane |
Pronation | Rotation of the Forearm so palm faces Posteriorly (palm down). in the Transverse Plane |
Horizontal ABduction | Movement in a Horizontal Plane Away from the Midline. in the Transverse Plane |
Horizontal ADduction | Movement in a Horizontal Plane Towards Midline (hugging). in the Transverse Plane |
Special Movements | Circumduction, Inversion, Eversion |
Circumduction | the Distal end of a bone draws a circle in the air while the proximal end remains Stationary ( combination of flexion, extension, abduction , adduction) |
True Circumduction | Involves one Joint drawing circles in the air in Special Movements (thumbs) |
False Circumduction | Involves more than one Joint drawing circles in the air in Special Movements |
Inversion | Movement of the Foot at the intertarsal joint, Plantar surface of the foot moves toward the midline. in Special Movements |
Eversion | Movement of the Foot at the intertarsal joint, Plantar surface of the foot moves away from the midline. in Special Movements |
Movements of the Shoulder Girdle, Mandible, Hyoid and Ribs | Elevation & Depression only in the Shoulder Girdle, Mandible, Hyoid and Ribs |
Elevation | movement in a superior direction only in the Shoulder Girdle, Mandible, Hyoid and Ribs |
Depression | movement in an inferior direction only in the Shoulder Girdle, Mandible, Hyoid and Ribs |
Movements of the Shoulder Girdle & Mandible | Protaction & Retraction |
Protraction | Movement in an Anterior Direction only in the Shoulder Girdle & Mandible |
Retraction | Movement in an Posterior Direction only in the Shoulder Girdle & Mandible |
Movement for the Shoulder Girdle only | Upward Rotation & Downward Rotation only in the Shoulder Girdle |
Upward Rotation | Rotation of the Scapula Around its Axis of rotation so the the lateral angle moves superiorly and inferior angle moves laterally only in the Shoulder Girdle |
Downward Rotation | Returning to Anatomical Position from Upward Rotation only in the Shoulder Girdle |
Fibrous Joints | Binding substance is Dense Fibrous Connective Tissue (DFCT) |
Structural Classification of Joints (What is the binding substance of joints?) | Fibrous, Cartilaginous, Synovial |
Types of Fibrous Joints | Sutures, Gomphosis, Syndesmosis |
Sutures | Fibrous Joint found only in the Skull |
Gomphosis | Fibrous Joint found between the tooth & its Sockets (Alveolus) |
Syndesmosis | Fibrous Joint who's binding substance is Ligament Only (Distal tibiofibular Joint aka. Ankle) |
Types of Cartilaginous Joints | Symphysis & Synchondrosis are what types of joint |
Cartilaginous Joint | Binding Substance is a type of Cartilage |
Symphysis Joint | Cartilaginous Joint who's binding substance is Fibrocartilage only (Anterior intervertebral jts, pubic symphysis, sacrococcygeal jt, sternal angle jt.) |
Synchondrosis Joint | Cartilaginous Joint who's binding substance is Hayline Cartilage only (1st Sternocostal jt) |
Features of the Synovial Joint | Articular Cartilage, Joint Cavity, Periosteum, Fibrous Layer, Synovial Membrane |
Articular Cartilage | Hayline Cartilage that covers the ends of the bone, protects and reduces friction in a Synovial Joint |
Joint Cavity | Space Between the Bones in a Synovial Joint |
Periosteum | Dense Fibrous Connective Tissue covering around the bone Protects and Nourishes Joint Capsule in a Synovial Joint |
Fibrous Layer | Outer layer that Surrounds the joint & Interweaves with the Periosteum in a Synovial Joint |
Synovial Membrane | Inner Surface of the Joint Cavity secretes synovial fluid into the Joint cavity in a Synovial Joint (lubricates and nourishes the bones) |
Functional Classifications of Joints (How much movement is permitted?) | Synarthrosis, Amphiarthrosis, Diarthrosis |
Synarthrosis | Immovable Joints like Sutures, Gomphoses & Synchondrosis Joints |
Amphiarthrosis | Slighly Movable Joints like Symphyses and Syndesmoses Joints |
Diarthrosis | Fully Movable Joints like Synovial Joints |
Synovial Joint Functional Classifications | Classified according to how many Planes (axis) they move through - Non-Axial, Uni-Axial, Bi-Axial, Tri-Axial |
Types of Synovial Joints | Gliding, Hinge, Pivot, Ellipsoid, Saddle, Ball & Socket |
Non-Axial | Moves through 0 Planes (Axis). Like Gliding Joints |
Uni-Axial | Moves through 1 Planes (Axis). Like Hinge & Pivot |
Bi-Axial | Moves through 2 Planes (Axis). Like Ellipsoid & Saddle |
Tri-Axial | Moves through 3 Planes (Axis). Like Ball & Socket |
Bursa | Synovial Fluid Filled "SACS" Found around synovial joints. Protects soft tissue from rubbing against bones. |
Tendon Sheaths | Tubular Bursa that surrounds tendons at the hands and feet. Helps reduce friction. |
Retinaculum | Band of Fascia at the Wrist and Ankles helps to stabilize the tendons. |
Gliding Joints | non-axial, Costovertebral, Costotransverse, Posterior Intervertebral, Sacroiliac. |
Hinge Joints | uni-axial, Knees and Elbows, Flexion and Extension in the Sagital Plane |
Pivot Joints | uni-axial, Atlantoaxial joint, Rotation in the Transverse Plane |
Ellipsoid Joints | bi-axial, Atlantooccipital joint and Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in the Sagital and Transverse Planes |
Saddle Joints | In-between bi-axial and tri-axial, Sternoclavicular joints and thumbs |
Ball and Socket Joints | tri-axial, Shoulder and Hips in the Sagital, Corornal and Transverse Planes |
