Articulations (joints)
Classification of joint based on structure of joint
Fibrous joint:
bones joined by dense connective tissue
Synovial joint:
bone ends are enclosed in a joint capsule
(knee, hip, elbow, fingers)
Upper Appendicular Skeleton
Types of Synovial Joints (optional):
Plane joint
Hinge joint
Pivot joint
Ball & socket joint
Saddle joint
Humerus:
head & surgical neck
head of humerus articulates
with the _____ of the scapula.
deltoid tuberosity
trochlea
capitulum
olecranon fossa:
(articulates with the ____ of the ulna)
coronoid fossa:
(articulates with the ____ of the
ulna)
patella:
lateral/medial facets:
(articulate with the ___ of the
femur)
apex
Cartilaginous joint:
bones are joined by cartilage =
pubic symphysis, ribs to sternum
The Pelvic (Hip) Girdle:
Coxal Bone = fusion of 3 bony pieces:
ilium, ischium and pubis.
Pelvic girdle =
R & L coxal bones + sacrum + coccyx
Pubic symphysis =
cartilaginous joint between
L & R pubic bones
Sacroiliac joints
Tibia:
tibial tuberosity
medial & lateral condyles
medial malleolus
Fibula:
head
lateral malleolus
Foot:
7 tarsal (ankle) bones
5 metatarsals (foot)
14 phalanges (toe) distal, middle, proximal
Lower
Appendicular Skeleton
Forearm:
Radius:
head
radial tuberosity
styloid process
ulnar notch
Ulna:
coronoid process:
(articulates with the _____ of the humorus)
olecranon process:
(articulates with the
______ of the humorus)
trochlear notch
radial notch
styloid process
Hand:
8 Carpal (wrist) Bones:
5 Metacarpal (hand)bones
14 Phalanges (fingers)
proximal, middle, distal
Anatomical differences
between the M/F pelvis
Os Coxae Landmarks
acetabulum:
(articulates with the
___ of the femur)
obturator foramen
sacral articulating surface on ilium
(sacroiliac joint)
Femur:
greater trochanter
head:|
(articulates with the ___ of the os coxa)
neck
medial & lateral condyles
patellar surface
Appendicular Skeleton
Movements at Synovial Joints (optional)
Flexion / Extension / Hyperextension
Circumduction
Rotation
Adduction/Abduction
Pronation / Supination (forearm & wrist)
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.
Clavicle:
acromial end (lateral end)
acromial end articulates with the _____ of the scapula.
sternal end (medial end)
sternal end articulates with the _____of the sternum.
Scapula:
borders:
lateral, medial, superior
angles:
superior & inferior
spine
acromion
coracoid process
glenoid cavity:
(articulates with the
____of the humorus)
