secondary cartilaginous joints (symphyses)
strong, slightly mobile joints united by fibrocartilage
Transverse Planes
planes passing through the body at right angles the the median and frontal planes. it divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) parts
process
projecting spine-like part
Frontal (coronal) planes
vertical planes passing through the body at right angles to the median plane, dividing it into anterior (front) and posterior (back) portions
diarthrosis
freely moveable
Inferomedial
nearer to the feet and closer to the median plane
foramen
passage through a bone
tubercle
small, raised eminence
Superolateral
nearer to the head and farther from the median plane
Atlanto-axial joint
pivot
short bones
cuboidal and are found only in the ankle (tarsus) and wrist (carpus)
distal
farther from the trunk or point of origin
synovial joints
most common type of joint. Usually reinforced by accessory ligaments that either seperate (extrinsic) or are a thickened part of the joint capsule (intrinsic)
axial skeleton
bones of the head, neck, and trunk
Cartilaginous joints
united by hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage
Flat bones
serve protective functions (e.g. those of the cranium)
fossa
hollow or depressed area
syndesmosis
type of fibrous joint that unites the bones with a sheet of fibrous tissue (ligament or fibrous membrane). partially movable
elbow joint
hinge
line (linea)
linear elevation
proximal
nearer to the trunk or point of origin
sesamoid bones
(patella) develop in certain tendons. they protect the tendons from excessive wear and often change the angle of the tendons as they pass to their attachments
hip joint
ball and socket
condyle
rounded articular area
Median (median sagittal) plane
the vertical plane passing longitudinally through the center of the body, dividing it into right and left halves.
crest
ridge of the bone
bilateral
paired structures having right and left members
gomphosis
type of fibrous joint in which a peg-like fibrous process stabilizes a tooth and provides proprioceptive information (e.g. how hard we are chewing or clenching teeth)
ipsilateral
occurring on the same side of the body
Sagittal Plane
vertical planes passing through the body parallel to the median plane.
fibrous joints
united by fibrous tissue, movement depends on length of the fibers uniting the articular bones
facet
smooth flat area, usually covered with cartilage where a bone articulates with another bone
irregular bones
those in the face, have various shapes other than long, short, flat
malleolus
rounded prominence
notch
indentation at the edge of a bone
tuberosity
large, rounded elevation
Paramedian plane
a plane parallel to and near the median plane
epicondyle
eminence superior to a condyle
appendicular skeleton
bones of the limbs, including those forming the pectoral and pelvic girdles
long bones
tubular structures
dorsum
superior or dorsal (back) surface of any part that protrudes anteriorly from the body
6 major types of synovial joints
hinge, saddle, plane, pivot, condylar, ball and socket
trochanter
large, blunt elevation
primary cartilaginous joints (synchondroses)
united by hyaline cartilage. Permit growth of the length of bone and allow slight bending during early life until the epiphyseal plate converts to bone and the epiphyses fuse with the diaphysis
acromioclavicular joint
plane
unilateral
occurring on one side only
protuberance
projection of bone
endochondral ossification
cartilaginous bone formation
spine
thorn-like process
contralateral
occurring on opposite side of the body
