Concept explainers
To construct: A table that identifies joint type and the plane or planes of movement for the atlanto-occipital joint, the L5-S1 vertebral joint, the metacarpophalangeal joints, the interphalangeal joints, the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb, the radioulnar joint, and the talocrural joint.
Concept introduction: The attachment site of two or more bones is known as a joint or an articulation. The function of the joints is to provide stability and mobility to the skeleton. The joints are classified on the based on the type of tissue involved- fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joints. The movements of the body are explained in terms of planes they pass through including frontal, transverse, and sagittal planes.

- Which statement is tine concerning the knee joint? The lateral meniscus is an intrinsic ligament located on the lateral side of the knee joint. Hyperextension is resisted by the posterior cruciate ligament. The anterior cruciate ligament supports the knee when it is flexed and weight bearing.
