Joints of the Body

AB
The junction between two bones is called a:joint
The study of the classification, structure and function of joints is called:Arthrology
_____is the study of motion occurring between joint surfacesArthrokinematics
Range of motion measured with a goniometer which identifies a change in the joint angle is called:Osteokinematics
A joint that allows very little or no movement is called a:Synarthrotic Joint
A joint that allows minimal (partial) movement is called a:Amphiarthrotic Joint
A freely movable joint that allows a significant amount of movement is called a:Diarthrotic Joint
A synovial joint is classified as a:Diarthrotic Joint
The substance that is resilient and functions to absorb shock and prevents direct wear and tear of the bone is called:Articular Cartilage
The _____secretes synovial fluid into the joint cavitySynovial Membrane
A joint that allows movement in one plane and around one axis is called:Uniaxial Joint
The elbow joint is classified as a:Uniaxial Hinge Joint
The radioulnar (forearm) joint is classified as a:Uniaxial Pivot Joint
C1with C2 is classified as a:Uniaxial Pivot Joint
A joint that allows movement in two planes and around two axes is called a:Biaxial Joint
The MP joints of digits 2-5 are classified as a:Biaxial Ellipsoid / Condyloid Joint
The CMC joint of the thumb is classified as a:Biaxial Saddle Joint
A joint that allows movement in three planes and around three axes is called a:Triaxial/Multiaxial Joint
The shoulder is classified as a:Triaxial/Multiaxial Ball and Socket Joint
The hip is classified as a:Triaxial/Multiaxial Ball and Socket Joint
the structure that joins bone to bone is called a:ligament
The function of a ligament is:to prevent dislocation and to limit motion in undesirable directions
A position where surfaces are not in as much contact, some part of the ligaments are slackened (elbow flexion)Loose packed position
A position of maximum contact between articular surfaces; ligaments are maximally taunt. (elbow extension)Closed packed position
Connective tissue that connects the muscle to the bone and are located on the ends of musclestendon
