What are the 4 kind of movable joints . Describe the type of movement each joint allows?
The four kinds of movable joints are hinge joint, ball-and-socket, pivot joint, and gliding joint.Movable joint: allows forward or backward.Ball-and-socket joint: allows the greatest range of motion.Pivot joint: allows one bone to rotate around another.Gliding joint: allows one bone to slide over another.~ A. K. =)
A joint that glides over another?
pivot joint
What is a plate called when it slides over another plate?
collision
What bone is the knee bone connected to?
There is a knee cap, formally known as the patella, which is not a bone, and is not connected to any bones, it just floats over them as a form of protection. There is no knee bone. The knee is a joint, not a bone.
Is the kneecap bone or cartilage?
Palette The knee joint is the junction of three bones-the femur (thigh bone or upper leg bone), the tibia (shin bone or larger bone of the lower leg), and the patella (kneecap). The patella is about 2 to 3 inches wide and 3 to 4 inches long. It sits over the other bones at the front of the knee joint and slides when the leg moves. It protects the knee and gives leverage to muscles.The knee as a whole is more a joint.The knee cap is called a patella (bone).
Is head of radius a pivot joint?
Yes, the radius is a pivot joint with the wrist. The radius is the only bone in the forearm that moves when you turn your hand over.
What is the relative resistance to movement of one body as it slides over another is repersented by what?
the coefficient of friction
Are gliding joints also called plane joints?
The shape of the articular surfaces in a joint help determine how the joint will work. There is one example that gliding joints are also called as plane joints. A flat rock travels more easily over a flat surface than an uneven rock slides over an uneven surface, the shape of a gliding joint is ideal for gliding motions.
What is degenerative lipping?
Degenerative is an (usually) irreversible, progressive process in which body tissues deteriorate over time. Lipping is an overgrowth of the bone joints that is a symptom of degenerative or inflammatory joint disease. So degenerative lipping would be irreversible bone joint deterioration and overgrowth.
Are gliding joints the same as hinge joints?
No, a gliding joint is where one bone slides over another bone, such as the patella over the distal end of the femur. A hinge joing is where one bone changes angles relative to another bone, such as the distal femur and the proximal tibia.
If your shin is popping out of joint and you can feel the pressure on the outside of you knee where the bone has moved over despite previous MRIs coming back clean what is the likely cause?
the correct dignoisis is a joint commpression
what three joints make up the knee?
The knee joint is primarily composed of three main joints: the tibiofemoral joint, which is the main hinge joint between the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone); the patellofemoral joint, which involves the kneecap (patella) gliding over the femur; and the proximal tibiofibular joint, which connects the tibia and fibula (the two long bones in the lower leg). These joints work together to allow for a range of movements, including bending and straightening the leg.
