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

Human Anatomy and Physiology Chapter 8 Study Guide Notecards

front 1

A gomphosis joint is

back 1

fibrous joint that is a peg-in-socket

front 2

The cruciate ligaments of the knee prevent

back 2

hyperextension of the knee

front 3

Articular cartilage found at the ends of the long bones serves to

back 3

provide a smooth surface at the ends of synovial joints.

front 4

A symphysis joint is united by dense fibrocartilaginous tissue that

back 4

usually permits a slight degree of movement.

front 5

Syndesmosis joint is

back 5

fibrous connective tissue

front 6

Connective tissue sacs lined with synovial membranes that act as cushions in places where friction develops are called

back 6

bursae

front 7

Amphiarthroses are

back 7

articulations permitting only slight degrees of movement

front 8

Synchondroses are

back 8

cartilaginous joints

front 9

The gliding motion of the wrist uses

back 9

plane joints

front 10

The ligaments that protect the alignment of the femoral and tibial condyles and limit the movement of the femur anteriorly and posteriorly are called

back 10

cruciate ligaments

front 11

Bending your head back until it hurts is an example of

back 11

hyperextension

front 12

All synovial joints are

back 12

freely movable

front 13

Synarthrotic joints permit essentially

back 13

no movement

front 14

Fibrous joints are classified as

back 14

sutures, syndesmoses, and gomphoses

front 15

In symphysis joints the articular surfaces of the bones are covered with

back 15

hyaline cartilage

front 16

Synovial fluid is

back 16

present in joint cavities of freely movable joints and it contains hyaluronic acid.

front 17

Synchondroses are

back 17

cartilaginous joints where hyaline cartilage unites the ends of bones

front 18

Menisci are

back 18

semilunar cartilage pads located in the knee

front 19

Gliding movements occur at the

back 19

intercarpal and intertarsal joints.

front 20

Abduction is

back 20

moving a limb away from the median plane of the body along the frontal plane

front 21

The terms inversion and eversion pertain only to the

back 21

feet

front 22

The hip joint is a good example of a

back 22

multiaxial synovial joint

front 23

Rotation movements do not

back 23

increase or decrease the angle between bones

front 24

Compared to the shoulder, displacements of the hip joints are rare because of the

back 24

ligament reinforcement.

front 25

The Patellar ligament of the knee initiates the

back 25

knee-jerk reflex when tapped

front 26

Football players often sustain lateral blows to the extended knee

back 26

The medial collateral, medial meniscus, and anterior cruciate ligaments are damaged as a result.

front 27

Pointing the toes is an example of

back 27

plantar flexion

front 28

The annular ligament surrounds the

back 28

head of the radius

front 29

Presence of a synovial cavity, articular cartilage, synovial membrane, and ligaments are characteristics of a

back 29

hinge joint

front 30

Extracapsular ligaments stabilizing the knee include lateral and medial collateral ligaments preventing

back 30

lateral or medial angular movements

front 31

Joints develop in parallel with

back 31

bones

front 32

An example of an interosseous fibrous joint is

back 32

the radius and ulna along its length

front 33

Angular movements can best be described as

back 33

they change (increase or decrease) the angle between two bones.

front 34

Saddle joints have concave and convex surfaces

back 34

Carpometacarpal joint of the thumb is a saddle joint of the skeleton.

front 35

Tendon sheaths act as

back 35

friction-reducing structures

front 36

Tendon sheath is not a part of the

back 36

synovial joint

front 37

The number of bones in the joint is not a factor that contributes to

back 37

keeping the articular surfaces of diarthroses in contact.
