For each of the following joint movements, state what bone the axis of rotation passes through and which of the three anatomical planes contains the axis of rotation. You might find it helpful to produce some of these actions on an articulated laboratory skeleton so you can more easily visualize the axis of rotation. (a) Plantar flexion; (b) flexion of the hip; (c) abduction of the thigh; (d) flexion of the knee; (e) flexion of the first interphalangeal joint of the index finger. (Do not bend the fingers of a wired laboratory skeletal hand, because they can break off.)

- Joint movements may be nonaxial, uniaxial, biaxial, or multiaxial. Define what each of these terms means.arrow_forwardA) Identify the movements the arrows A and B point to.. B) Which joint do these movements occur at? A B (g) Ankle joint & This is a foot with arrow A showing the foot moving upwards and arrow B showing the foot moving downwards.arrow_forwardWhat are the technical names of and movements allowed at the following joints? (a) joints in the toes, (b) wrist joint, (c) jaw joint, (d) joint between sacrum and hip bones, (e) knuckle joint in the hand.arrow_forward
- Which of the following joints listed is not a plane joint? (a) intercarpal joint, (b) intertarsal joint, (c) metacarpophalangeal joint, (d) femoropatellar joint.arrow_forwardPlease answer 3) The origin of the brachioradialis is on the distal end of the humerus, it inserts onto the surface of the radius proximal to the styloid process, and it acts to flex the arm at the elbow. The resistance is the weight of your hand. This arrangement describes a: a) first-class lever. b) second-class lever. c) third-class lever.arrow_forwardIn addition to the tuberosity, what other feature of the tibia can you use to help determine if it is from the left side or the right side of the body? What kind of joint (structurally and functionally) is the ankle joint? What is the common name for the calcaneus on the human body? How many phalanges are found in an entire human body? What bone does the acromion articulate with? How would you describe a notch? What bone articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula? What are the names acromion and sternal ends telling you? Is the glenoid a shallow or deep socket? How will this affect the stability and mobility of the joint? Which group of four muscles inserts on the greater and lesser tubercles?arrow_forward
- Classify each of the synovial joints listed as one of the following:(a) plane joint, (b) hinge joint, (c) pivot joint, (d) condylar joint,(e) saddle joint, (f) ball-and-socket joint.__(1) proximal radioulnar joint__(2) trapezium and metacarpal I__(3) knee (tibiofemoral)__(4) metacarpophalangeal joint__(5) wrist joint__(6) atlanto-occipital joint__(7) atlantoaxial joint__(8) sternocostal joints, ribs 2–7__(9) intervertebral joints (between articular processes)__(10) acromioclaviculararrow_forwardHarry was jogging down the road when he tripped in a pothole. As he fell, his ankle twisted violently to the side. The diagnosis was severe dislocation and spraining of the ankle. The surgeon stated that she would perform a reduction of the dislocation and then attempt to repair the injured ligament using arthroscopy. (a) What kinds of movements can normally occur at the ankle joint? (b) Was the doctor telling Harry that his bones were broken? (c) What is reduction of a joint? (d) Why is it often necessary to repair ligaments surgically? (e) How will the use of arthroscopic surgery minimize Harry’s recovery time and his suffering?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements defines synchondroses? A) Amphiarthrotic joints designed for strength and flexibility B) Cartilaginous joints where hyaline cartilage unites the ends of bones C) Interphalangeal joints D) Joints that permit angular movements Please give a brief explanation of each. thanksarrow_forward
- A) Name the joint that the arrow points to. [ name means identifying it as knee, wrist, elbow etc] B)Name all the movements possible at this joint. [all the different movements possible must be named separately]arrow_forwardIf the primary action of digastric is to elevate the hyoid bone, explain its reverse muscle action (RMA)arrow_forwardCan we say that carpometacarpal (CMC) joint movements of the thumb are 1) axial rotation 2) abduction -adduction (perpendicular to the plane palm) 3. Flexion - extention (parallel to the plane palm) 4. Opposition Is ir correct? Can you please checkarrow_forward
