Definition
- immovable joint between skull bones
Term
Coronal
Definition
between frontal bone and parietal bones
Term
Sagittal
Definition
- between two parietal bones

Lacrimal
Definition
smallest bones of face
Term
Maxillae Articulates with
Definition
every bone of face except mandible
Term
Palatine
Definition
Forms posterior portion of hard palate, part of floor and lateral wall of nasal cavity, and portion of floor of orbit
Term
Cervical Vertebrae
Definition
-Contain transverse foramen for vertebral artery and vein
There are 7
Term

Definition
12, Long spinous process
Term
Lumbar vertebrae
Definition
5,Short and thick projections
Term
Sacrum
Definition
Articulates with pelvic girdle
Term
Coccyx
Definition
4, Intervertebral discs
Term
Ribs
Definition
Articulate with thoracic vertebrae at head
Term
Longitudinal arch
Definition
Medial - originates at calcaneus, rises to talus and descends through metatarsals

Lateral - begins at calcaneus, rises to cuboid and descends to metatarsals
Term
Transverse arch
Definition
– Travels to medial to lateral surfaces and formed by calcaneus, navicular, cuboid, and posterior metatarsals
Term
Articulations
Definition
joints between bones
Term
Joint
Definition
Hold bones together but also permit movement between them
Term
Synarthroses
Definition
permit no movement (ex. Sutures)
Term
Amphiarthoses
Definition
permit slight movement
Term
Diarthroses
Definition
permit free movement (a majority of our movements)
Term
Fibrous joints
Definition
fibrous tissue connects
Term
Cartilaginous joints
Definition
cartilage connects
Term
Synovial joints
Definition
synovial membrane lines joint cavity
Term
Articular surfaces of bones are connected by
Definition
fibrous tissue that binds them firmly together, permit little or no movement (ex. Sutures)
Term
Suture
Definition
found between bones of skull; thin layer fibrous tissue (synarthroses)
Term
Syndesmoses
Definition
- fibrous bands (ligaments) connect articulating bones -joints between distal ends of radius-ulna and tibia-fibula (amphiarthroses)
Term
Gomphoses
Definition
fibrous tissue connects roots of teeth to alveolar processes; called periodontal membrane
Term
Cartilaginous Joints
Definition
Cartilage connects articular surfaces
Term
Symphyses
Definition
hyaline cartilage covers surfaces; compressible pad or disk of fibrocartilage between articulating bones - bodies of vertebrae and symphysis pubis (amphiarthroses)
Term
Synchondroses
Definition
hyaline cartilage connects articulating bones; first rib and sternum, temporary between epiphysis and diaphysis (synarthroses)
Term
Synovial Joint
Definition
Freely movable joint in which a space, joint cavity, separates articulating ends of bones
Term
Synovial cavity
Definition
separates articulating bones
Term
Articular cartilage
Definition
covers surfaces of bones but does not bind together
Term
Articular capsule
Definition
surrounds diarthrosis, encloses synovial cavity and unites articulating bones; composed of fibrous capsule (outer) and synovial membrane (inner)
Term
Synovial fluid
Definition
lubricates joint and supplies nourishment for articular cartilage as well as removing wastes
Term
Extracapsular ligaments
Definition
outside articular capsule
Term
Intracapsular ligaments
Definition
within articular capsule but excluded from synovial cavity by folds of synovial membrane
Term
Articular discs (menisci)
Definition
allow bones of different shapes to fit snugly; usually divide cavity into two separate spaces; maintain stability of joint
Term
Bursae
Definition
saclike structures positioned to reduce friction in some joints; located where skin rubs over bone, between tendons and bones, muscles and bones, and ligaments and bones and within articular capsules
Term
Structure or shape of articulating bones
Definition
determines how they fit together
Term
Strength and tension of joint ligaments
Definition
components are tense only when joint is in certain position which restricts range of movement and directs movement of bones
Term
Arrangement and tension of muscles
Definition
muscle tension reinforces restraint of ligaments
Term
Apposition of soft parts
Definition
limits mobility
Term
Hormones
Definition
may affect joint flexibility
Term
Angular movements
Definition
change size of angle between articulating bones
Term
Flexion
Definition
decrease angle
Term
Extension
Definition
increase angle; extension of foot is plantar flexion
Term
Abduction
Definition
moves body part away from midline
Term
Adduction
Definition
moves body part toward midline
Term
Rotation
Definition
pivoting of bone on central axis
Term
Circumduction
Definition
moving distal end of bone in a circle causing entire bone to describe surface of a cone; involves rotation, adduction, abduction, flexion, and extension (Only at ball and circle joints)
Term
Supination
Definition
rotating forearm outward
Term
Pronation
Definition
rotating forearm inward
Term
Inversion
Definition
turning sole of foot inward
Term
