Tough, but flexible smooth elastic tissue which prevents friction and stops the bones from rubbing together 2 of 25 What is a tendon? Very strong cords that attach the muscle on the bone 3 of 25 What is a bursae? Sacks of fluid which reduces friction 4 of 25 What is a ligament? Bands of fibre which attach bone to bone 5 of 25 How does synovial fluid help joint move freely? It provides lubrication 6 of 25 What bones are located in the head/neck? The cranium and vertebrae 7 of 25 What bones are located in the shoulder? The scapula and humerus 8 of 25 What bones are located in the chest? The ribs and sternum 9 of 25 What bones are located in the elbow? The humerus, radius and ulna 10 of 25 What bones are located in the hip? The pelvis and femur 11 of 25 What bones are located in the knee? The femur, tibia and patella 12 of 25 What bones are located in the ankle? The tibia, fibula and talus 13 of 25 Where can the ball and socket joints be found? The shoulder (scapula, clavicle and humerus) and the hips (femur and pelvis) 14 of 25 What movements take place with ball and socket joints? Abduction and adduction 15 of 25 Where can the hinge joints be found? The knee (femur, patella and tibia), elbow (humerus, radius and ulna) and ankle (tibia, fibula and talus) 16 of 25 What movements take place with hinge joints? Flexion and extension 17 of 25 What are articulating bones? Where two or more bones meet to allow movement at a joint 18 of 25 What is a joint? A connection point between two bones where movement occurs 19 of 25 What is abduction? Movement away from the midline of the body 20 of 25 What is adduction? Movement towards the midline of the body 21 of 25 What is flexion? Decreasing the angle of the bones at a joint 22 of 25 What is extension? Increasing the angle of bones at a joint 23 of 25 What is plantar flexion? Pointing the toes at the ankle/increasing to ankle angle 24 of 25 What is rotation? Movement around an axis 25 of 25
