Functional definition of *Ligaments*

Bands of fibrous connective tissue. - Support and hold the two bones of a joint together. - Prevent excessive joint movement. - Provide attachment for cartilage, fascia, or, in some cases, muscle. - Flexible but not elastic This flexibility is needed to allow joint motion, but the non-elasticity is needed to keep the bones in close approximation to each other and to provide some protection to the joint. When ligaments surround a joint, they are called *capsular ligaments*.

Tendon (functional definition, possible shapes)

Connect muscles to bones Two shapes: a cylindrical cord (e.g. the long head of the biceps tendon), or a flattened band (e.g. rotator cuff) Muscles provide the contractile force that causes joints to move. Therefore, they must span the joint to have an effect on that joint. Muscles are soft and cannot attach directly to the bone. A tendon must connect them to bone.

Planes of motion. How do they relate to axes?

Divisions of the body that describe the axis of rotation for joint motion

During a bicep curl, a _____ surface (ulna) moves on a fixed _____ surface (humerus), so the joint surface is moving in the *opposite* direction of the forearm. The ulna is rolling and gliding in the *same* direction.

During a bicep curl, a *concave* surface (ulna) moves on a fixed *convex* surface (humerus), so the joint surface is moving in the _______ direction of the forearm. The ulna is rolling and gliding in the _____ direction.

When a person "stretches" before exercise, he/she is demonstrating which muscle tissue characteristic?

Extensibility

T/F - Joints are less prone to injury in closed packed position, making this the best position for splinting/immobilization. If False, why?

F - Joints are *more* prone to injury bc this position. However, this is the best position for splinting/immobilization because ligaments and capsules are elongated/stretched. Prevents loss of ROM.

Define the four types of Planes and Axes.

*The sagittal plane* passes through the body from front to back and divides the body into right and left parts. *The sagittal axis* is a point that runs through a joint from front to back. *The frontal axis* or *coronal plane* runs through a joint from side to side. *The frontal plane* passes through the body from side to side and divides the body into front and back parts. The vertical axis, also called *the longitudinal axis*, runs through a joint from top to bottom. *The transverse plane* passes through the body horizontally and divides the body into top and bottom parts. It is also called *the horizontal plane*.

Joint Structures

One way synovial joints can be classified is by type of movement, which refers to the number of ____. Define axes and differentiate four types of movement around axes.

Axis Axes are points that run through the center of a joint around which a part rotates. a) Nonaxial joint: small amounts of linear motion. No angular motion. Gliding usually occurs. b) Uniaxial: movement occurs around 1 axis. c) Biaxial: movement occurs around 2 axes, at right angles to one another. d) Multiaxial: movement occurs around 2+ axes.

What is the name for linear movement of a joint surface parallel to the adjoining joint surface?

Gliding/Sliding motion

Joint movement occurs in a _____ and around an ______

Joint movement occurs around an *axis* that is always perpendicular to its *plane*. Another way of stating this is that joint movement occurs *in a plane* and *around an axis*

Most synovial joints have which of the following joint surface shapes? Give example. a) ovoid b) sellar c) saddle d) flat

Most synovial joints *ovoid* (a) joint surface shape. e.g. MCP joint Ovoid: articulating bones have a convex/concave relationship

Angular motion, also called Rotary motion

Movement of an object around a fixed point. All the parts of the object move through the *same angle*, in the *same direction*, and at the *same time*, but they *do not move the same distance*. e.g. when a person flexes his or her knee, the foot travels farther through space than does the ankle or leg.

Curvilinear motion

Movement that occurs in a curved path that isn't necessarily circular e.g. the path of a skier coming down a ski slope, the path a diver takes after leaving the diving board until entering the water, path of a thrown ball, a javelin thrown across a field, or the Earth's orbit around the sun

Rectilinear motion

Movement that occurs in a straight line e.g. the motion of a child sledding down a hill, a sailboarder moving across the water, or a baseball player running from home plate to first base.

Irritability

Passive separation of joint surfaces can happen in this position

Open packed position (aka incongruent joint surface position, loose packed position, resting position)

What is the name for rotation of joint surface on fixed adjacent surface?

Spin motion

Elasticity

ability to rebound to the resting length after removal of force.

Fibrocartilage (function, joints - location & e.g.)

acts as a shock absorber This is especially important in weight-bearing joints e.g. knee and vertebrae Intervertebral disks lie between the vertebral bones. Because of their very dense structure, these disks are capable of absorbing an amazing amount of shock that is transmitted upward from weight-bearing forces.

Functional definition of *Synovial membrane and synovial fluid*

Synovial membrane lines the inside of the synovial joint capsule and produces synovial fluid. Lubricates (allowing for free movement) Some shock absorption Provides nutrition for articular/hyaline cartilage

T/F - Body segments are rarely used to describe joint motion

True e.g. the surface of the proximal end of the humerus moves down, while the body segment (arm) moves up. The motion occurs at the joint (shoulder), and the body segment (arm) just goes along for the ride! An exception to this concept is the forearm. It is a body segment but functions as a joint as well. Technically, joint motion occurs at the proximal and distal radioulnar joints; however, common practice refers to this as forearm pronation and supination.

T/F - Depending on the moveable portion of the joint, the joint can use both portions of the convex-concave rule.

True - Convex-Concave: Femur (convex) rolling ad gliding (in opposite directions) on fixed tibia (concave) during a squat. Concave-Convex: Tibia (concave) rolling and gliding (in same direction) on the femur during leg extension. Tip: whichever portion of the joint is moving, the shape of that joint goes first

Match the description of each type of joint motion with its correct description (can use more than once): a) Roll b) Glide c) Slide d) Spin 1) Same point on each surface remains in contact with one another 2) New points on each surface come into contact throughout motion. 3) One joint on a joint surface contacts new points on the adjoining joint surface.

a-3) *Roll motion*: New points on each surface come into contact throughout motion. (e.g. GH joint) b-2) *Glide/slide motion*: One joint on a joint surface contacts new points on the adjoining joint surface. (e.g. carpal bones). Often occurs in uniaxial joints. c-1) *Roll motion*: Same point on each surface remains in contact with one another
