1. articulation (joint) defini- meeting place of two or more bones
tion
2. the SHOULDER joint con- scapula
nects the humerus and the
_________
3. range of motion (ROM) def- refers to the normal extent of mobility for a specific joint movement
inition
4. degrees of freedom (DOF) the number of axes at which movement in a joint occurs
definition
5. the wrist is a ___________ biaxial, 2 DOF, and 2 planes of movement: back/forward and side
joint with ____ degrees of to side
freedom, and _____ planes
of movement
6. the type of connection be- function
tween bones in a joint
(structure) determines the
________
7. inverse relationship be- mobility is going to come at the cost of stability
tween mobility and stability - sutures: limited mobility, but are more stable and protective
- shoulder joint: more mobility, but less stable and more prone to
injury

8. classification by structure: fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial (what type of tissue is between the
categories two bones)
9. classification by function: - synarthrosis: immovable (skull)
categories - amphiarthrosis: slightly moveable (pubic symphysis)
- diarthrosis: freely moveable
10. anatomical position - superior vs inferior
- anterior vs. posterior
- proximal vs. distal
- medial vs. lateral
11. flexion and extension sagittal: midline
movements occur in
____________ plane
12. flexion definition typically "bends" the joint, decreasing the angle between bones
13. extension definition typically "straightens" the joint, increasing angle between bones
14. dorsiflexion definition bending the foot at the ankle toward the shin (up)
15. plantarflexion definition movement of the foot in which the foot or toes flex downward
towards the ground
16. abduction and adduction frontal or coronal
movements occur in the
____________ plane
17. abduction definition movement away from the midline
18. adduction definition movement towards the midline
19. midline definition can refer to the body's midline or midline of another structure

20. circumduction movements sagittal and frontal plane
occur in both __________ and
___________ planes
21. circumduction definition combination of movements in a cone-like shape
22. rotation movements occur longitudinal
around the _____________
axis of the moving segment
23. rotation includes - Rotation of the head on the neck
- Rotation of the intervertebral discs of the spine
- Rotations possible at ball-and-socket joints
24. pronation definition turning the palm downward: "In pronation, I can dribble a basket-
ball like a PRO player"
25. supination definition turning the hand so the palm is upward or facing anteriorly: "I can
hold soup in my hands for supination"
26. pronation and supination radioulnar joints
occur at the proximal and
distal ____________ joints
27. inversion and eversion intertarsal joints
movements occur at the
___________ joints
28. elevation moves upward
ex: shrugging shoulders
29. depression moves downward
30. protraction pushes forward

31. retraction pulls back
32. opposition definition special movement of hand where thumb touches any finger ("pin-
cer" grasp): sets us apart from other organisms
33. types of fibrous joints: sutures, syndesmois, gomphosis
34. types of cartilaginous synchondrosis, symphysis
joints:
35. types of synovial joints: uniaxial, biaxial, triaxial, and nonaxial
36. all fibrous and cartilagi- synarthrosis or amphiarthrosis
nous joints are either go-
ing to be __________________
or _______________ in terms
of movement
37. synovial joints are ALWAYS diarthrosis: freely moving
___________ in terms of
movement
38. sutures definition connect bones of the skull and are immovable: synarthrosis
39. fontanels definition incompletely ossified areas present in fetal and infant skulls and
become ossified by age 2: large areas of irregular connective
tissue that allows some movement of the skull during birth
