Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

front 10

Describe the structure and function of the following structures or tissues in relation to a synovial joint: ligament, tendon, articular cartilage, synovial membrane, bursa

back 10

Ligament: Dense fibrous connective tissue; attaches bones together; reinforces joints.
Tendon: Dense fibrous connective tissue; reinforces the joint capsule as it spans a joint.
Articular cartilage: Hyaline cartilage; reduces friction where bones articulate.
Synovial membrane: Loose connective tissue; produces synovial fluid which decreases frictions within the joint capsule.
Bursa: Fluid-filled synovial sac which cushions the tendon where it crosses the bone.

synchondrosis

front 24

a multiaxial joint

back 24

ball and socket

front 25

Along with the saddle joint, a biaxial joint

back 25

condyloid

front 26

Along with the pivot joint, a uniaxial joint

back 26

hinge

front 27

When considering movement, what do all uniaxial joints have in common?

back 27

They allow movment in only one plane

front 28

When considering movement, what do all biaxial joints have in common?

back 28

They allowmovement in two planes

front 29

When considering movement, what do all multiaxial joints have in common?

back 29

They allow all angular movement and rotation

front 30

What characteristics to all joints have in common?

back 30

All consist of bony regions separated by fibrous or cartilaginous connective tissue.

front 31

Which joints, the hip or the knee, is more stable? Name two important factors that contribute to its stability.

back 31

Hip; Deep socket for femur and strongly reinforced articular capsule

front 32

Name two important factors that contribute to the stability of the knee.

back 32

menisci and intracapsular cruciate ligaments.

front 33

Describe how the structure of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) allows us to chew hard candy and hazel nuts.

back 33

The superior compartment of the synovial cavity causes the mandible to glide forward, distributing forces to the stronger articular tubercle (to prevent breakage of the mandibular fossa)

front 34

During muscle contraction, the [a] moves toward the [b].

back 34

A.) insertion
B.) origin

front 35

What structural joint changes are common to the elderly?

back 35

Degenerative changes (adhesions and bone spurs) begin to "sprout up" in diarthrotic joints; intervertebral discs begin to degenerate. These changes lead to increased joint stiffness and pain.

front 36

Define sprain and dislocation.

back 36

Sprain: ligaments reinforcing a joint are damaged by excessive stretching, or torn away fromt he bony attachment.
Dislocation: Bones are foced out of their normal positions in a joint cavity.
