Match the following types of joints with their characteristics:
Synarthroses = Allow very little or no movement Diarthroses = Allow various kinds of movement Plane or gliding joints = Permit a gliding motion between flat surfaces Biaxial joints = Can be ellipsoid or saddle joints
Match the following examples of joints with their types:
Sutures = Synarthroses Knee joint = Hinge joint Wrist joint = Ellipsoid joint Shoulder joint = Ball-and-socket joint
Match the following descriptions with the correct type of diarthroses:
Allow movements on only one plane = Uniaxial hinge joints Allow rotation only around the axis = Uniaxial pivot joints Allow a wide range of movement: backwards, forwards, sideways and rotation = Multiaxial ball-and-socket joints Have articular surface of one bone concave and convex in different directions = Saddle joints
Match the following examples of diarthroses with their respective movements allowed:
Elbow joint = Hinge movement on one plane Ankle joint = Saddle movement with concave and convex surfaces Hip joint = Multiaxial movement: backwards, forwards, sideways, rotation Radius and ulna joint = Pivot movement for rotation around the axis
Match the following movements with their respective types of diarthroses:
Gliding motion between flat surfaces = Plane or gliding joints Rotation only around the axis = Pivot joints Wide range of movement: backwards, forwards, sideways and rotation = Ball-and-socket joints Hinge movement on only one plane = Hinge joints
Match the following pairs with the correct multiaxial joints:
Shoulder joint = Ball-and-socket joint Hip joint = Ball-and-socket joint Ankle joint = Not specified Wrist joint = Not specified
Match the following types of joints with their primary characteristic:
Synarthroses = Allow very little or no movement Diarthroses = Allow various kinds of movement
Match the following examples of synarthroses joints with their descriptions:
Sutures = Effectively weld the cranial bones into one rigid structure Vertebral symphisial joints = Permit very limited movement although together they add up to considerable flexibility over the whole vertebral column
Match the following types of uniaxial diarthroses with their examples:
Hinge joints = Knee, elbow, finger Pivot joints = Between radius and ulna
Match the following types of biaxial joints with their examples:
Ellipsoid joints = Wrist Saddle joints = Ankle
Match the following multiaxial joints with their examples:
Ball-and-socket joints = Hip, shoulder
Match the following types of joints with their primary characteristic:
Synarthroses = Allow very little or no movement Diarthroses = Allow various kinds of movement Uniaxial joints = Allow movements on only one plane Multiaxial joints = Allow a wide range of movement
Match the following examples of synarthroses joints with their descriptions:
Sutures in cranial bones = Effectively weld the cranial bones into one rigid structure Vertebral symphisial joints = Permit very limited movement although together they add up to considerable flexibility over the whole vertebral column Gomphoses = Allow very little or no movement Examples of diarthroses joints = Allow various kinds of movement
Match the following types of uniaxial diarthroses with their examples:
Hinge joints = Knee, elbow, finger Pivot joints = Between radius and ulna Ellipsoid joints = Wrist Saddle joints = Ankle
Match the following types of biaxial joints with their examples:
Ellipsoid joints = Wrist Saddle joints = Ankle Ball-and-socket joints = Hip, shoulder Plane or gliding joints = Articular processes of vertebrae
Match the following multiaxial joints with their examples:
Ball-and-socket joints = Hip, shoulder Examples of synarthroses joints = Sutures in cranial bones, vertebral symphisial joints, gomphoses Types of uniaxial diarthroses = Hinge joints, pivot joints Diarthroses = Allow a wide range of movement
Match the following movements with their respective types of diarthroses:
Rotation around the axis = Pivot joints Gliding motion between flat surfaces = Plane or gliding joints Backwards, forwards, sideways and rotation = Ball-and-socket joints Movements on only one plane = Hinge joints
Learn about the two main types of joints in anatomy: synarthroses and diarthroses. Synarthroses allow very little to no movement, while diarthroses are synovial joints that allow various types of movement. Explore examples of both types of joints.
