Front (Question)

Synovial Joint (2)

Back (Answer)

• most common joint • where space between bones allows substantial movement

Front (Question)

What movements can the synovial joint make? (8)

Back (Answer)

• flexion • extension • abduction • adduction • medial rotation • lateral rotation • elevation • depression

Front (Question)

Flexion

Back (Answer)

decreases the angle between body parts

Front (Question)

Extension

Back (Answer)

increases angles between body parts

Front (Question)

Abduction

Back (Answer)

away from midline

Front (Question)

Adduction

Back (Answer)

towards midline

Front (Question)

medial rotation

Back (Answer)

rotational movement towards midline

Front (Question)

lateral rotation

Back (Answer)

rotation movement away from midline

Front (Question)

elevation

Back (Answer)

superior movement

#10

Front (Question)

depression

Back (Answer)

inferior movement

#11

Front (Question)

What synovial joint movements are possible in the joints of the feet? (4)

Back (Answer)

• eversion • inversion • dorsi flexion • plantar flexion

#12

Front (Question)

eversion

Back (Answer)

medial rotation of ankle joint

#13

Front (Question)

inversion

Back (Answer)

lateral rotation of the ankle joint

#14

Front (Question)

dorsi flexion

Back (Answer)

flexion at ankle, so the foot point more superiorly

#15

Front (Question)

plantar flexion

Back (Answer)

extension at the ankle, so the foot points inferiorly

#16

Front (Question)

What synovial joint movements are possible in the radioulnar joint? (2)

Back (Answer)

• pronation • supination

#17

Front (Question)

Pronation

Back (Answer)

medial rotation of the radioulnar joint so palm is upward

#18

Front (Question)

Supination

Back (Answer)

lateral rotation of radioulnar joint so palm is downward

#19

Front (Question)

What are some combinations of movement? (3)

Back (Answer)

• circumduction • pronation of foot • supination of foot

#20

Front (Question)

Circumduction

Back (Answer)

circling at joint that combines hyperextension, abduction, extension, and adduction

#21

Front (Question)

Where does circumduction occur? (5)

Back (Answer)

• shoulder • hip • wrist • ankle • thumb

#22

Front (Question)

Pronation of the Foot

Back (Answer)

combines dorsi flexion, eversion, and abduction

#23

Front (Question)

Supination of Foot

Back (Answer)

combines inversion and adduction

#24

Front (Question)

Back (Answer)

• Type I • Type IIa • Type IIb
