1. Describe the structural and functional classifications of joints
Structurally joints are classified as Fibrous, Cartilaginous and Synovial
Fibrous: No synovial cavity
Ex: Sutures - dense fibrous CT
Syndesmoses: More dense fibrous CT than a suture
Ex: Gomphosis
Interosseous Membranes: a broad sheet of dense fibrous CT
Ex: Between radius and ulna
Cartilaginous: No synovial cavity (Syn=No Chondrosis=Cartilage) hyaline cartilage; no movement
Ex: Epiphyseal plate - growth plate
Symphysis: fibrocartilage; some small movement
Ex: Pubic Symphysis - held together by cartilage Epiphyseal plate, Vertebral discs
Synovial: Have a synovial cavity
Articular cartilage on ends of long bones and a synovial cavity between articulating bones surrounded by
accessory ligaments; freely moveable.
Ex: Hip, Knee, Shoulder, Elbow
-have articular capsule & have accessory ligaments that help support
Functionally joints are classified as Synarthroses, Amphiarthroses, Diarthroses
Synarthroses: Allow no movement
Ex: Suture, Gomphosis (Joint classification: Fibrous)
Amphiarthroses: Allow little to no movement
Ex: Pubic symphysis, intervertebral discs - small amounts of movement - few degrees (Joint
classification: Cartilaginous)
Diarthroses: Freely moveable
Ex: Hip, Knee, Shoulder, Elbow (Joint classification: Synovial)
2. Describe the types of movements that can occur at synovial joints
(Diarthroses: Freely moveable - large range of movement)
Gliding: Movement of relatively flat bone surfaces back and forth and side to side over one another; little
change in angle between bones.
Angular: Increase or decrease in angle between bones.
Flexion: Decrease in angle between articulating bones, usually in sagittal plane.
Lateral Flexion: Movement of trunk in frontal plane.
Extension: Increase in angle between articulating bones, usually in sagittal plane.

Hyperextension: Extension beyond anatomical position
Abduction: Movement of bone away from midline, usually frontal plane.
Adduction: Movement of bone toward midline, usually in frontal plane.
Circumduction: Flexion, abduction, extension, adduction and rotation in succession
(or in the opposite order); distal end of body part moves in circle.
Rotation: Movement of bones around longitudinal axis; in limbs, may be medial (toward midline) or
lateral (away from midline).
Special: Occurs at specific joints.
Elevation: Superior movement of body
Depression: Inferior movement of body
Protraction: Anterior movement of body part in transverse plane
Retraction: Posterior movement of body in transverse plane
Inversion: Medial movement of sole
Eversion: Lateral movement of sole
Dorsiflexion: Bending foot in direction of dorsum (superior surface)
Plantar flexion: Bending foot in direction of plantar surface (sole)
Supination: Movement of forearm that turns palms anteriorly
Pronation: Movement of forearm that turns palm posteriorly
Opposition: Movement of thumb across palm to touch fingertips on same hand
3. Describe the disorders that affect joints (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.)
Osteoarthritis: General wear and tear on joint where articular cartilage wears out
Also known as degenerative joint disease
Rheumatoid: Autoimmune - body attacks joints and is sensitive to dietary changes. Also known as
inflammatory joint disease (#1 cause of debilitating disease)
4. Differentiate between strain and sprain
A strain is a stretched or partially torn muscle or muscle and tendon. Often occurs when muscle contracts
suddenly and powerfully Ex: leg muscles of sprinters when they spring from the blocks.
A sprain is the wrenching or twisting of a joint that stretches or tears it ligaments but does not dislocate
the bones.
5. Describe the main anatomical components of the knee joint and explain the movements that can occur
at this joint
6. Identify the structural components of the glenohumeral joint
Glenoid Cavity of Scapula and Head of Humerus

7. Identify the structural components of the elbow joint
Anular Ligament of the Radius
Articular Capsule
Radial Collateral Ligament
Anular Ligament of the Radius
Articular Capsule
Ulnar Collateral Ligament
8. Identify the structural components of the hip joint
Iliofemoral Ligament - Iliac connected to femur
Pubofemoral Ligament - Pubis connects to femur
9. Identify the features found on the femur
Head
Greater Trochanter
Lesser Trochanter
Gluteal Tuberosity
Medial Condyle
Patellar Groove
Lateral Condyle
10. Describe the disorders associated with tracking of the patella on the femur
Patellar tracking disorder occurs when the kneecap (patella) shifts out of place as the leg bends or
straightens. In most cases, the kneecap shifts too far toward the outside of the leg, although in a few
people it shifts toward the inside.
11. Identify bones of the axial skeleton
80 Skull bones, Auditory ossicles (ear bones), hyoid bone, sternum (breastbone), and bones of the
vertebral column.
12. Identify facial bones
14 Facial bones
2 Nasal
2 Lacrimal
2 Inferior Nasal Concha
2 Maxilla
2 Palatine
2 Zygomatic
1 Mandible
1 Vomer
13. Describe the location of the cranial bones
Frontal, 2 Parietal, 2 Temporal, Occipital, Sphenoid, Ethmoid
14. Describe the disorders associated with the spinal column
Costochondritis: Inflammation of one or more costal cartilage
Lordosis: Condition characterized by an increase or exaggeration of the lumbar curve of the vertebral
column

https://www.coursehero.com/file/26271294/BIOS251-Final-Study-Guide/
Kyphosis: Condition characterized by an increase in the thoracic curve of the vertebral column
Scoliosis: Condition characterized by a lateral bending of the vertebral column in the thoracic region
Herniated Disc: Condition where protrusion of the nucleus pulposus posteriorly or into one of the
adjacent vertebral bodies in the vertebral column
Spina bifida: Congenital defect of the vertebral column where the laminae do not develop normally
(looks like open wound/pressure ulcer)
15. Describe the structural components of a long bone
Greater in length than width Ex: Femur, Humerus, Phalanges, Tibia
Diaphysis (bone shaft) - humerus
2 Epiphyses (both ends of the bone at the joints)
2 Metaphyses (region between diaphysis and epiphysis)
Articular Cartilage covering both epiphyses
Periosteum (connective tissue surrounding the diaphysis - irregular connective tissue)
Medullary Cavity (hollow space within diaphysis)
Endosteum (thin membrane lining the medullary cavity - can replicate to make bone thicker)
