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

28 notecards = 7 pages (4 cards per page)

Articulations and Body Movements

front 1

Two functions of an articulation

back 1

hold bones together
allow the rigid skeletal system flexability

front 2

How are joints classified

back 2

structure & function

front 3

Functional classification is based on

back 3

The amount of movement at a joint

front 4

Amphiarthroses

back 4

Slightly movable
Dominates Axial skeleton

front 5

Which is more clear cut structure or function

back 5

Structural classification is more defined.

front 6

Amphiarthrotic

back 6

slightly movable

front 7

Diarthrotic

back 7

Freely movable
Dominates limbs

front 8

Synarthrotic

back 8

Immovable
This type dominates the Axial skeleton

front 9

Structural classification is based on

back 9

presence of connective tissue fiber,cartilage, or a joint cavity.

front 10

Names of structural classifications

back 10

Fibrous
Cartilaginous
Synovial

front 11

Cartilaginous

back 11

AMPHIARTHROTIC Slight degree of movement
Cartilage connecting bony portions
ie...pubic symphsis & vertebral bodies,costal cartilage

front 12

Synovial

back 12

DIARTHROTIC freely movable
Fibrous articular capsule lined w/a synovial membrane
Joint cavity present
Hip,knee,& elbow

front 13

Fibrous

back 13

SYNARTHROTIC-essentially immovable
bone regions united by fibrous connective tissue
ie....sutures

front 14

ABDUCTION

back 14

MOVEMENT AWAY FROM MIDLINE

front 15

ADDUCTION

back 15

MOVEMENT TOWARDS MIDLINE

front 16

CIRCUMDUCTION

back 16

FOUND IN BALL & SOCKET JOINTS

front 17

ROTATION

back 17

AROUND IT'S OWN LONGITUDINAL AXIS

front 18

EXTENSION

back 18

TO INCREASE THE ANGLE OF A JOINT

front 19

FLEXION

back 19

TO DECREASE THE ANGLE OF A JOINT

front 20

PRONATION

back 20
