Welcome to Dr. Kate Brilakis' Learning Portal

​ Femur:
  greater trochanter
  head 
  medial & lateral condyles 

                                                           Part II:
  The Appendicular Skeleton

    Foot:
    7 tarsal bones:     calcaneus, talus, navicular, cuboid, 3 cuneiforms  
    5 metatarsals:      #1-5        
   14 phalanges: (distal, middle, proximal)







 























              
Articulations & Body Movements
 
​Joint Classifications based on Structure of Joint:   
  Fibrous joint : 
      bones are joined by dense connective tissue   (sutures)
  Cartilaginous joint:
      bones are joined by cartilage (pubic symphysis, ribs to                              sternum)           
  Synovial  joint:
      bone ends are enclosed in a joint capsule
     (knee, hip, elbow, fingers) 

    
 




Types of Synovial Joints:  
  Plane joint
  Hinge joint
  Pivot joint
  Ball & socket joint
  Saddle joint









​  Movements at Synovial Joints
  Flexion / Extension / Hyperextension
  Circumduction
  Rotation
  Adduction/Abduction
  Pronation / Supination  (forearm & wrist)
  Inversion / Eversion   (ankle)
  Plantar flexion / Dorsiflexion  (ankle)

 












​Anatomy of the Hip Joint:

   Iliofemoral ligament
   Pubofemoral ligament
   Acetabulum & acetabular labrum
   Ligamentum teres



























​Anatomy of Knee Joint:

   Tendon of quadriceps femoris muscle
   Patellar ligament
   Anterior cruciate & posterior cruciate ligaments
   Medial meniscus & lateral meniscus
   Fibular collateral ligament
   Tibial collateral ligament

 


















​ID joint locations of the following on articulated skeleton:
    Temporo-mandibular joint 
    Tibio-femoral joint
    Intervertebral joints
    Distal radio-ulnar joint
    Sterno-clavicular joint
    Coxal joint 
    Gleno-humeral joint
    Sacroiliac joint

  A joint “sprain” is when the ligaments are stretched or torn.
  Common sprains  occur in the ankle. A joint “dislocation” is when 
  the ends of the bones in a joint are forced from their normal positions. Dislocation is most common in shoulders and fingers.​
