Presentation Transcript

  1. CONDYLOID JOINT • oval-shaped condyle of one bone fits into an elliptical cavity of another. Ex. Metacarpals and phalanges Rotational movement is not possible

  2. GLIDING JOINTS • Nearly flat, slightly curved • Wrist, ankle, vertebrae • Allow sliding and twisting

  3. HINGE JOINT • Convex surface of one bone fits into the concave surface of another. • Ex. Elbow, phalanges

  4. PIVOT JOINT • Cylindrical surface of one bone rotates within a ring formed of bone and ligament. • Rotation around a central axis. • Ex. Proximal end of radius and the ulna.

  5. SADDLE JOINT • Between bones whose articulating surfaces have both concave and convex regions. • Carpal and metacarpal bones of the thumb.

  7. JOINT MOVEMENTS Flexion: bending parts at a joint so that the angle between them decreases and the parts come closer together. Extension: straightening parts at a joint so that the angle between them increases. Dorsiflexion: bending the foot at the ankle toward the shin.

  8. Plantar flexion: bending the foot at the ankle toward the sole. Hyperextension: excess extension of the parts at a joint, beyond the anatomical position (bending the head back beyond the upright position).

  9. Abduction: moving a part away from the midline. Adduction: moving a part toward the midline. Rotation: moving a part around an axis. Circumduction: moving a part so that its end follows a circular path. Pronation: turning the hand so that the palm is facing downward or posteriorly. Supination: turning ht hand so that the palm is facing upward.

  10. Eversion: turning the foot so that the sole faces laterally. Inversion: turning the foot so that the sole faces medially. Retraction: moving a part backward. Protraction: moving a part forward. Elevation: raising a part. Depression: lowering a part.
