EXERCISE 10 REVIEW SHEET Joints and Body Movements Name Lab Time/Date Types of Joints 1. Use the key terms to identify the joint types described below. Key: cartilaginous fibrous synovial 1. typically allow a slight degree of movement 2. include joints between the vertebral bodies and the pubic symphysis 3. essentially immovable joints 4. sutures are the most remembered examples 5. cartilage connects the bony portions 6. have a fibrous articular capsule lined with a synovial membrane surrounding a joint cavity 7. all are freely movable or diarthrotic 8. bone regions are united by fibrous connective tissue 9. include the hip, knee, and elbow joints 2. Match the joint subcategories in column B with their descriptions in column A, and place an asterisk (*) beside all choices that are examples of synovial joints. (Some terms may be used more than once.) Column A Column B 1. joint between most skull bones ball-and-socket 2. joint between the axis and atlas condylar 3. hip joint plane 4.…
Briefly define the types of joint movements available ata ball-and-socket joint.
5 Describe the difference in maximal force capacity in the knee extensors vs the knee flexors. What role does bi-articulation at this joint play? How does this influence potential injury mechanics?
