Chapter 8 Joints & Skeletal Movement Classification of joints is by functional group (the amount of movement possible), and structural group (how the bones are held together). Functional Group Structural Group Fibrous (bones connected by short, fibrous filaments) Cartilagenous (bones connected by cartilage) Synarthrosis (immobile) Suture Amphiarthrosis (slight movement)…
4. When this muscle contracts, the head rotates so that the face turns downward and to the opposite side.sternocleidomastoid…
3. In the case study, what type of joint did Torin injure? What is the range of motion of this joint?…
The term "joint" refers to the physical point of connection between two bones. There are numerous joint types throughout the body, these being ball and socket joints, hinge joints, condyloid joints, pivot joints, gliding joints, and saddle joints.…
7. Explain how the movements of the reattached arm might be altered after the reattachment.…
Describe the location, composition and function of the epiphyseal plate. Located in the metaphysis where the bone forms an articulation with another bone, composed of hyaline cartilage, reduces fiction and absorbs shock at freely movable joints.…
5.7.1 - Recall the way in which muscles, tendons, the skeleton and ligaments interact to enable movement including antagonistic muscle pairs, extensors and flexors.…
*Depressions and openings, which allow the passage of soft tissues(such as blood vessels and nerves) or form joints, and second the processes, which are projections or outgrowths that either help form joint or serve as attachment point for connective tissue.…
There are six types of synovial joints. Gilding joints, such as carpals of the wrist, these joints allow only gliding or sliding movements. Hinge joints, act as a door hinge does, allowing flexion and extension in just one plane. Pivot joints one bone rotates about another. Condyloid joints two bones fit together with an odd shape these joints allow flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction movements. Saddle joints, which resemble a saddle, permits the same movement as the condyloid joints, but allow greater movement. Ball and socket joints allow all movement except gliding. Compound joints modified hinge joints condylar joints (condyles of the femur join with condyles of tibia) and saddle joint (lower end of femur joins with patella.) The function of the synovial joints are to allow…
7. Explain how the movements of the reattached arm might be altered after the reattachment.…
Support: the framework that supports the body and cradles the organs. Protection: surrounds the brain, spinal cord, and vital organs. Movement: bones are levers for muscles. Minerals: bones store calcium and phosphate.…
In the upper arm, the muscles responsible for flexing and extending the arm at the elbow joint are the biceps, brachialis, and triceps. In the upper leg, the muscles responsible for flexing and extending the limb at the knee are the hamstrings (biceps femoris, semimembranosus and semitendonosus muscles), the gastrocnemius (also affects foot movement), and the quadriceps femoris (YouTube, n.d.) .…
1. Connective Tissue gives shape to organs and holds them in place. Blood and bones would be examples.…
Typically, when a muscle contracts it _________, bringing the ________ attachment site towards the _________attachment site.…
In this week’s learning, I learned from Readings and Lectures from Chapter Two and Four. In Chapter Two I learned, The Medical Terms of the different Anatomical Planes, Directions, and Body Regions. I learned the individual body systems into the organization and functions of the body as a whole. I learned How to comprehend, spell, and write medical terms pertaining to the body as a whole so I can communicate and document medical terms accurately and precisely. I learned to recognize and pronounce medical terms pertaining to the body as a whole so that I can communicate verbally with accuracy and precision.…
