1.1.3 Types of synovial joints

Cards (21)

Synovial joints are the most common type of joint in the human body and allow for a wide range of movement
Ligaments in synovial joints provide stability
Hinge joints allow for rotation around a central axis.
False
Condyloid joints allow for biaxial movement. 
True
A pivot joint allows for rotation around a central axis.
What type of movement does a ball-and-socket joint allow?
Multi-directional
Order the types of synovial joints from least to most directional range of motion:
1️⃣ Gliding
2️⃣ Pivot
3️⃣ Condyloid
4️⃣ Hinge
5️⃣ Ball-and-Socket
What is the function of cartilage in synovial joints?
Reduces friction and absorbs shock
Match the type of synovial joint with its description:
Ball-and-Socket ↔️ Multi-directional movement
Hinge ↔️ Flexion and extension
Pivot ↔️ Rotation around a central axis
Gliding ↔️ Sliding or gliding movements
Condyloid ↔️ Biaxial movement
Pivot joints allow for rotation
The forearm contains a pivot joint called the radioulnar
A condyloid joint allows for biaxial movement because the oval-shaped end of one bone fits into a shallow depression of another. 
True
The rounded end of one bone fits into the cup-shaped cavity of another in a ball-and-socket joint.
A ball-and-socket joint allows for multi-directional movement in all planes.
Synovial fluid reduces friction in joints during movement. 
True
Which type of synovial joint allows for multi-directional movement?
Ball-and-Socket
What type of movement is allowed by gliding joints?
Sliding or gliding
Order the types of synovial joints from the most to least range of movement:
1️⃣ Ball-and-Socket
2️⃣ Condyloid
3️⃣ Hinge
4️⃣ Pivot
5️⃣ Gliding
Match the type of synovial joint with its example in the body:
Ball-and-Socket ↔️ Shoulder
Hinge ↔️ Elbow
Pivot ↔️ Neck
Gliding ↔️ Wrist
A hinge joint allows for rotation around a central axis.
False
A hinge joint restricts motion to flexion and extension in one plane. 
True
