Document Summary
Articulations = describing the joints of the body, 2 ways to classify joints: functional and structural. Simple movements: joints allow movement across the bones how do these joints move, *exam = medial rotation vs. lateral rotation. Have to go through text and see examples of different joints: elbow joint. See how the ulna fits around the trochlea. This is a specific type of joint; it is restricted. When you look at the movement of the ulna in respect to the humerus, you"re only have flexion and extension.
