Document Summary
Acb lecture (8) joints: structure and function. Sample exam qs: which of the following statements about the flexor (anterior) compartment of the forearm is. Incorrect: the muscles of the superficial layer all have fibers that originate on the medial epicondyle of the humerus, b. Which of the following statements about the anterior thigh compartment is incorrect: the quadriceps muscle heads converge into a common tendon that inserts into the tibial tuberosity via the patellar ligament, b. Joint: point at which 2 bones articulate w each other: vary greatly in structure and function, degree of movement at a joint is determined by the structure of the joint. Classification of joints: fibrous immoveable (synarthroses, connected by fibrous tissue, examples, sutures, tibiofibular joint, socket of tooth, cartilaginous - slightly moveable (amphiarthroses, hyaline cartilage (ex. epiphyseal growth plate, fibrocartilage (ex. Types of synovial joints continued: plane joints, articular surfaces are flat planes, short movements in multiple directions, e. g.
