Document Summary

2 ways to classify joints: 1) functional classification- what joints do, moveable or not: structural classification- what composes the joint, what hold it together. Non-living subjects, how they act in living individuals. Understand functions before studying muscles, nailed down movements of body, highlight specific movements. Flexion/extension of elbow, knee extension, knee flexion, hip joint (simple movements) Understand how joints and bones allow movements, many are restricted, rotational movement, medial rotation vs lateral rotation (go through the text to see the eg. ) Destry wright - dislocated his right ankle and broke his right leg.

Sutures in skull, brain tissue underneath with important vessels: amphiarthroses- slightly moveable. Ribs articulate to the sternum, long portion of coastal cartilage, protecting key organs, heart and lungs. Fully respire, need to expend the space within the thoracic cavity: diarthroses- freely moveable.
