Advance Preparation
1. If you have have a local source, source, obtain obtain a sagittally sagittally sawed, fresh fresh diarthrotic diarthrotic beef knee knee joint from from a butcher butcher or meat packing company. Alternatively, pig’s feet with phalanges sectioned frontally could be used. Refrigerate or freeze until use. Preserved joints could be used instead. Have disposable gloves available. 2. Have Have availabl availablee the articula articulated ted skelet skeleton on and isolate isolated d skull. skull. 3.

Comments and Pitfalls
1. Some students students may have trouble trouble interpreting interpreting the movement movementss in Figure 10.6. 10.6. It may help help to have the the students perform all of these movements together during lab. 2. Students may may be confused confused by movement movement at at the shoulder shoulder joint.

The The water water balloon balloon represents a synovial cavity, bursae, or tendon sheaths. The fists represent two articulating bones on opposite sides of a synovial cavity. They may also represent muscles, tendons, or ligaments in the case of bursae and tendon sheaths.

___ ligament: Dense fibrous connective tissue; attaches bones __ _______________ _________ __________ ___________ _________ ____ together; reinforces joints __________ tendon: Dense fibrous connective tissue attaching tendon to bone; reinforces the joint capsule as it spans a joint
articular cartilage: Hyaline cartilage; reduces friction where bones bone s articul art iculate ate
synovial membrane: Loose connective tissue; produces synovial fluid, which decreases friction within the joint capsule

5. What characteristics do all joints have in common? All consist of bony regions held together by fibrous or cartilaginous connective tissue, or by a joint capsule
Selected Synovial Joints 6. Which joint, the hip or the knee, is more stable? Hip
Name two important factors that contribute to the stability of the hip joint. Deep socket for femur
and strongly reinforced articular capsule
Name two important factors that contribute to the stability of the knee. The menisci
and ligaments and tendons crossing joint
7. The diagram shows a frontal section of the hip joint. Identify its major structural elements by using the letters in the key. Key:
a. acetabular labrum b. articular capsule c. articular cartilage d. coxal bone e. head of femur f. ligament of the head of the femur g. synovial cavity
8. The shoulder joint is built for mobility. List four factors that contribute to the large range of motion at the shoulder:
1. The large head of the humerus moves easily against the shallow glenoid cavity of the scapula.
2. The glenoid labrum only slightly deepens the glenoid cavity.
3. The articular capsule is thin and loose.
80

4. There are few ligaments that strengthen the joint.
9. In which direction does the shoulder usually dislocate? Forward and downward

Movements Allowed by Synovial Joints 10. Which letter on the adjacent diagram marks the origin
of the muscle? A Which letter marks the insertion? B Insert the words origin and insertion into the following sentence: During muscle contraction, the insertion toward the orig or igin in

Joint Disorders 12. What structural joint changes are common among elderly people? Degenerative changes (adhesions and bone spurs) begin to “sprout up” in diarthrotic joints; intervertebral discs begin to degenerate. These changes lead to increased joint stiffness and pain. 13. Define the following terms.
s prain: Ligaments reinforcing a joint are damaged by excessive stretching, or torn away from the bony attachment. dislocation: Bones are ar e forced out of their normal positions in a joint cavity.
14. What types of tissue damage might you expect to find in a dislocated joint? Torn Torn or stressed stressed ligament ligamentss and inflamma inflammati tion. on. The joint capsule capsule and ligame ligaments nts may remain stretched. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
