Protect internal organs, site for blood cell production, mineral store
1 of 34
2 types of bone that make up the skeleton?
Flat, Long
2 of 34
What are flat bones suitable sites for?
Muscular attachment
3 of 34
What are long bones suitable for?
Blood cell production
4 of 34
Name the 5 common features of a synovial joint?
Ligament, synovial fluid, articulating cartilage, joint capsule, bursa
5 of 34
Structure of a ligament?
Tough band if slightly elastic connective tissue
6 of 34
Function of a ligament?
Connects bone to bone and stabilises joint during movement
7 of 34
Structure of synovial fluid?
Lubricating liquid contained within the joint cavity
8 of 34
Function of synovial fluid?
Reduces friction and nourishes articular cartilage
9 of 34
Structure of articular cartilage?
Smooth tissue covering surface of articulating bones
10 of 34
Function of articular cartilage?
Absorbs shock and allows friction-free movement
11 of 34
Structure of joint capsule?
Fibrous sac with an inner synovial membrane
12 of 34
Function of joint capsule?
Encloses and strengthens joint secreting synovial fluid
13 of 34
Structure of a bursa?
Closed fluid-filled sac found where tendons rub over bones
14 of 34
Function of a bursa?
Reduces friction between tendons and bones
15 of 34
What is a joint?
Area of the body where two or more bones articulate to create movement
16 of 34
What are the three planes of movement?
Sagittal, frontal, transverse
17 of 34
Where does the sagittal plane lie?
Vertically through body
18 of 34
Where does the frontal plane lie?
Vertically across body
19 of 34
Where does the the transverse plane lie?
Horizontally through body
20 of 34
What are movement patterns?
Description of actions taking place at a joint
21 of 34
What are the 5 types of synovial joint?
Hinge, ball and socket, pivot, gliding, condyloid
22 of 34
What is flexion?
Decreasing the joint angle
23 of 34
What is extension?
Increasing the joint angle
24 of 34
What is doors-flexion?
Movement at ankle joint as toes move up
25 of 34
What is plantar-flexion?
Movement at the ankle joint as toes move down
26 of 34
What is adduction?
Movement of limbs towards the midline of the body
27 of 34
What is abduction?
Movement of limbs away from the midline of the body
28 of 34
What is horizontal extension?
Movement of limbs away from the midline of the body parallel to the ground
29 of 34
What is horizontal flexion?
Movement of limbs towards the midline of the body parallel to the ground
30 of 34
What is rotation?
Movement whereby articulating bones turn about their longitudinal axis
31 of 34
Type of movement able on the sagittal plane?
Flexion, extension, dors-flexion, planar-flexion
32 of 34
Type of movement able on the frontal plane?
Abduction, adduction
33 of 34
Type of movement able on the frontal plane?
Horizontal extension, horizontal flexion, rotation
