- 21What are the types of joints? Give examplesHinge-elbow, knee
Ball and socket-hip, shoulder
Pivot-wrist
Condyloid-wrist
Saddle-thumb
Gliding-bones in the hand - 22What 3 categories do all types of joints come under? Give examplesSynovial-freely movable joints-i.e hip
Slightly movable-i.e. vertebrae
Immovable-i.e. bones in the skull - 23What are the most common specific movements?(i.e flexion)Flexion-decreasing an angle at a joint
Extension-increasing the angle at a joint
Abduction- movement of bone or limb away from the midline of the body
Adduction-movement of bone or limb toward the midline of the body
Rotation-bone or limb moves round freely in a curve - 24What is isontonic and isometric contraction and what are the differences between both?Isotonic contractions occur when the body moves and can be concentric (when the muscle shortens) or eccentric (when the muscles gradually lengthens to its original length) Isometric contraction occur when there is no movement of either the limb or the joint as the muscles are working together to keep the joint stable
