Types of joints
fibrous or fixed; cartilaginous or slightly moveable; synovial or freely moveable
1 of 34
Joints are...
necessary for muscles to level bones to create movement
2 of 34
Joints
ball and socket; hinge joint
3 of 34
Ball and Socket joint
allows movement in every direction, is formed by the round head of on bone fitting into the cup-shaped capsule of the connecting bone
4 of 34
Articulating bone
the bones that meet and move at the joint
5 of 34
Hinge joint
allows movement in one direction, due to the shape of the bones making up the joint
6 of 34
Examples of ball and socket joints
hip (femur and pelvis) and shoulder (humerus and scapula)
7 of 34
Examples of hinge joints
ankle (talus, tibia and fibula), knee (femur and tibia) and elbow (humerus, radius and ulna)
8 of 34
Planes
these are the planes of movement where it is seen as there are imaginary lines running through the body
9 of 34
Sigittal plane
divides the body into right and left halves
10 of 34
Frontal plane
divides the body into front and back halves
11 of 34
Transverse plane
divides the body into upper and lower halves
12 of 34
Axis
the movement around which rotation occurs
13 of 34
Transverse axis
runs from side to side across the body
14 of 34
Sagittal axis
runs from front to back of the body
15 of 34
Longitudinal axis
runs from the top to the bottom of the body
16 of 34
Sagittal plane about the transverse axis
flexion, extension, plantar flexion, dorsi flexion, and hyper-extension
17 of 34
Frontal plane about the sagittal axis
abduction and adduction
18 of 34
Transverse plane about the longitudinal axis
horizontal abduction and horizontal adduction
19 of 34
Flexion
decreasing the angle between the bones of a joint
20 of 34
Extension
increasing the angle between the bones of a joint
21 of 34
Plantar-flexion
pointing the toes/ pushing up onto your toes
22 of 34
Dorsi-flexion
Pulling the toes up to the shin
23 of 34
Hyper-extension
increasing the angle beyond 180 degrees between the bones of a joint
24 of 34
Agonist
the muscle that is responsible for the movement that is occurring
25 of 34
Antagonist
the muscle that works in opposition to the agonist (to help produce a co-ordinated movement)
26 of 34
Joints require...
muscles to move the bones into position
27 of 34
Muscles work in a...
pair to produce the required movement, known as antagonistic muscle action
28 of 34
Concentric contraction
when a muscles shortens under tension
29 of 34
Eccentric contraction
when a muscle lengthens under tension or performs negative work and acts like a brake
30 of 34
Isometric contraction
when a muscle is under tension but there is no visible movement
31 of 34
Example of concentric contraction:
during the upward phase of an arm curl
32 of 34
Example of an eccentric contraction:
landing from a standing jump as the quadriceps are performing negative work due to supporting the weight of the body during landing
33 of 34
Example of an isometric contraction:
crucifix position in gymnastics as the muscles are acting as fixators or acting against resistsnce
