Document Summary

Arthrodial: plane joint, allows gliding movement. Condyloid: allows flexion, extension, adduction, abduction. Enarthrodial: ball and socket joint, allows movement in almost all directions. Ginglymus: hinge joint, allows flexion and extension. Saddle: allows flexion, extension, adduction, abduction. Syndesmosis: slightly movable articulation where the contiguous bony surfaces are united by an interosseous ligament. Cm1: carpal metacarpal joint, saddle joint, allows opposition to other fingers. Mp 1: metacarpal phalangeal joint, ginglymus. Abduct and adduct relative to the midpoint of hand, not body. Pips and dips (2-5: proximal/distal interphalangeal joint, all have trochlea, therefore classified as ginglymus. Wrist joint: condyloid, between radius and first row of carpal bones. Name main joints of hand responsible for human movement. Originates from scaphoid and trapezium with the transverse collateral ligament. Inserts on the proximal phalanx of the thumb. Allows abduction at the carpal-metacarpal joint (cm1: flexor pollicis brevis. Originates and inserts in the same place as the abductor pollicis brevis.
