HBS

Movement away from the midline of the body

Movement toward the midline off the body

Hyaline cartilage attached to articular bone surfaces

The action or manner in which the parts come together at a joint

An articulation (as the hip joint) in which the rounded head of one bone fits into a cuplike cavity of the other and admits movement in any direction

A usually translucent somewhat elastic tissue that composes most of the skeleton of vertebrate embryos and except for a small number of structures (as some joints, respiratory passages, and the external ear) is replaced by bone during ossification in the higher vertebrates.

A movement at a synovial joint in which the distal end of the bone moves in a circle while the proximal end remains relatively stable

Bending the foot in the direction of the dorsum (upper surface)

An unbending movement around a joint in a limb (as the knee or elbow) that increases the angle between the bones of the limb at the joint

A bending movement around a joint in a limb (as the knee or elbow) that decreases the angle between the bones of the limb at the joint

An instrument for measuring angles (as of a joint or the skull)

Joint between bones (as at the elbow or knee) that permits motion in only one plane

Translucent bluish white cartilage consisting of cells embedded in an apparently homogeneous matrix, present in joints and respiratory passages, and forming most of the fetal skeleton

The point of contact between elements of an animal skeleton whether movable or rigidly fixed together with the surrounding and supporting parts (as membranes, tendons, or ligaments)

Dense regular connective tissue that attaches bone to bone

Bending the foot in the direction of the plantar surface (sole)

Moving a bone around its own axis, with no other movement

The space between the articulating bones of a synovial joint, filled with synovial fluid. Also called a joint cavity.

Secretion of synovial membranes that lubricates joints and nourishes articular cartilage

A fully moveable joint in which the synovial (joint) cavity is present between the two articulating bones

A white fibrous cord of dense regular connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone

A contractile protein that is part of the thin filaments in muscle fibers

A condition caused by compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel and characterized especially by weakness, pain, and disturbances of sensation in the hand and fingers

The delicate connective tissue surrounding the individual muscular fibers within the smallest bundles

The external connective-tissue sheath of a muscle

A small bundle or cluster, especially of nerve or muscle fibers

The attachment of a muscle tendon to a moveable bone or the end opposite the origin

The contractile protein that makes up the thick filaments of muscle fibers

The attachment of a muscle tendon to a stationary bone or the end opposite the insertion

The connective-tissue sheath that surrounds a muscle and forms sheaths for the bundles of muscle fibers

Any of the repeating structural units of striated muscle fibrils

The explanation of how thick and thin filaments slide relative to one another during striated muscle contraction to decrease sarcomere length

A protein of muscle that forms a complex with troponin regulating the interaction of actin and myosin in muscular contraction

A protein of muscle that together with tropomyosin forms a regulatory protein complex controlling the interaction of actin and myosin and that when combined with calcium ions permits muscular contraction
