  27. Define arthology
    Study of joints
  28. Three categories of joints by structure
    • fibrous
    • cartilagenous
    • synovial
  29. Define structure as it relates to joints
    Where to or more bones come together
  30. Three categories of joints by function
    • Synathrotic
    • Amphiarthrotic
    • Diarthrothic
  31. Define function as it relates to joints
    Movement created by muscle contracting to move bone allowed by joints
  32. How does diarthrotic joint move
    freely
  33. How does amphiarthrotic joint move
    Limited to moderate
  34. How does synarthrotic joint move
    little to none
  35. Synovial joints function
    Diarthrotic
  36. Cartilaginous joints function
    Ampthiarthrotic

    Synarthrotic
  38. What are the 6 synovial joints?
    • Hinge (one axis)
    • Pivot (one axis)
    • Saddle (two axis)
    • Condyloid (two axis)
    • Ball and Socket (three axis)
    • Gliding (0 axis)
  39. Define excitability in the skeletal muscle tissue
    the ability to respond to a simulus
  40. Define extensibility in the skeletal muscle tissue
    the ability of the muscle to enlongate
  41. Define elasticity in the skeletal muscle tissue
    the ability to return to orignal shape
  42. Define contractility in the skeletal muscle tissue
    The ability of the muscle to contract or shorten
  43. What are the four functions of skeletal muscle tissue?
    • Production of movement
    • Stabilize joints
    • Maintain posture
    • Generate heat
  44. What are the 7 ways to name skeletal muscle
    • Function
    • Shape
    • Size
    • Location
    • Direction of fibers
    • Number of heads/attachments
    • Points of attachments
  45. Define Agonist
    • *Prime mover*
    • Muscles that use concentric contractions which cause joints to move
  46. Define Antagonist
    Muscle that has oppisite action then mover
  47. Define Synergist
    Helper mover
  48. Define Isometric contraction
    No joint movement
  49. Define Isotonic contraction
    Provides joint movement
  50. Define Concentric contraction
    Contracts and shortens (Up-phase)
  51. Define Eccentric contractions
    Contracts and lengthens (Down-phase)
