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

30 notecards = 8 pages (4 cards per page)

Articulations and Body Movements

front 1

Cartilaginous

back 1

1. Typically allows a slight degree of movement
2. Includes joints between the vertebral bodies and pubic symphysis
3. Characterized by cartilage connecting the bony portions

front 2

Fibrous

back 2

1. Essentially immovable joints
2. Sutures are most remembered examples
3. Bone regions united by fibrous connective tissue

front 3

Synovial

back 3

1. Characterized by fibrous articular capsule lined with a synovial membrane surrounding joint cavity
2. Freely movable or diarthrotic
3. Hip, knee, elbow joints

front 4

Ligament

back 4

Dense connective tissue that connects bones together and stabilizes joints during movement

front 5

Tendon

back 5

Connective tissue that connects muscle to bone

front 6

Articular cartilage

back 6

Connective tissue that cushions the bone and allows a "gliding" motion

front 7

Synovial membrane

back 7

Soft connective tissue secretes fluid to lubricate joint and reduce friction

front 8

Bursa

back 8

Fibrous connective tissue that prevents friction within the joints

front 9

Joint between the axis and atlas

back 9

Pivot

front 10

Hip joint

back 10

Ball and socket

front 11

Intervertebral joints between articular processes

back 11

Condyloid

front 12

Joint between forearm bones and wrist

back 12

Condyloid

front 13

Elbow

back 13

Hinge

front 14

Interphalangeal joints

back 14

Hinge

front 15

Intercarpal joints

back 15

Gliding

front 16

Joint between talus and fibia/tibula

back 16

front 19

Joints between proximal phalanges and metacarpal bones

back 19

Condyloid

front 20

Multiaxial joint

back 20

Ball and socket

front 21

Biaxial joints

back 21

Condyloid and saddle

front 22

Uniaxial joints

back 22

Hinge and pivot

front 23

Name two important factors that contribute to the stability of the hip joint.

back 23

Deep socket to femur, and strongly enforced articular capsule

front 24

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

back 24

Menisci and ligaments and tendons crossing

front 25

Shoulder joint is built for mobility; list four factors that contribute to the range of motion at the shoulder.

back 25

1. Large head of humerus moves easily against shallow glenoid cavity of scapula

2. Ball and socket joint; most flexibility

3. Articular capsule thin and loose

4. Few ligaments stengthening joint

front 26

During muscle contraction

back 26

The insertion moves toward the origin

front 27

What structural joint changes are common to the elderly?

back 27

Joints degenerate. Adhesions may form where bones joint, and extraneous bone tissue can grow along joint edges

front 28

Define sprain.

back 28

Reinforcing ligaments are damaged due to excessive strain.

front 29

Define dislocation.

back 29

Bones forced out of their normal position in joint cavity.

front 30

What type of tissue damage might you expect to find in a dislocated joint?

back 30

1. Torn/stressed ligament and inflammation.
2. Joint capsule and ligaments remain stretched.
