What are the 3 main joint classifications? -
\Fiborous, Cartiligeneous, Synovial
What is a fiborous joint? -
\bones joined by fiborous tissue, with no joint cavity present. Allow for very little
movement.
Ex: Cranial sutures, teeth and their sockets, tibiofibular joint
What is a cartiligeneous joint? -
\a type of joint where the bones are entirely joined by cartilage These joints generally
allow more movement than fibrous joints but less movement than synovial joints.
Ex: The pubic symphysis. Intervertebral discs
What is a synovial joint? -
\Prevents friction between the articulating bones of the joint cavity.
Types of synovial joints -
\plane, hinge, pivot, condyloid, saddle, ball and socket
Plane joint -
\short slipping or gliding movements; i.e. carpals
pivot joint -
\rotating bone turns around an axis. Allow for limited rotating movements.
i.e. elbow. neck joints.
Condloid Joint/ ellipsoid joint -
\Allow all types of movement except pivotal movements. (knee, wrist).
sadle joint -
\thumb bone
ball and socket joint -
\allow backward, forward, sideways, and rotating movements (shoulders and hips).
hinge joint -
, \such as in the fingers, knees, elbows, and toes, allow only bending and straightening
movements.
Spinous processes extend which direction? -
\Dorsally (Inferiorly)
Lomi Lomi Massage -
\Polynesia method of kneading massage using fluid methods that mimic the ocean.
Myofascial release -
\massage that releases tightness and pain. Also known as trigger point therapy or deep
tissue.
Where is the stomach located? -
\The upper left quadrant of the abdomin.
Lymphatic dranage massage stimulates increased lymph circulation directed -
\proximally
What is a herniated disc? -
\a fragment of the disc nucleus that is pushed out of the annulus, into the spinal canal
through a tear or rupture in the annulus
hiatal hernia -
\abdominal organs slip through the diaphragm into the chest
Inguenial hernia -
\When fatty tissue or a small loop of the intestine bulges out through the inguinal canal
into the groin.
Inscisional hernia -
\A hernia that protrudes through an older surgery incision.
Epigastric hernia -
\causes fat to push through a weakened area in the walls of the abdomen.
Spigelian hernia -
\an abdominal wall hernia occurring in the upper abdominal region
Perineal hernia -
\The hernia may contain fluid, fat, any part of the intestine, the rectum, or the bladder.
Appears as sudden swelling of the anus.
-
\Ringworm
