Functional classification from immovable to slightly movable to freely movable.

Types of angular movement that increases or decreases the angle between bones.

Four functional properties/characteristics of skeletal muscle

external- pulls ribs toward each other to elevate ribcage, internal- draws ribs together to depress ribcage.

This condition is characterized by inflammation of a tendon

These are the two types of Cartilaginous Joints.

Means movement can occur around all three axes and along all three body planes: frontal, sagittal, and transverse.

These are the three structural components of a neuromuscular junction

Extends wrist and abducts wrist

This is a mysterious chronic pain syndrome of unknown cause.

Three types of Fibrous Joints.

From latin words meaning "moving away" this is movement of a limb away from the body midline

Connective tissue that holds fibers of skeletal muscle together in order from external to internal.

extends knee and flexes thigh at hip

The most common form of muscular dystrophy?

Two of the six types of synovial joints.

The largest and most complex joint in the body. Primarily acts as a hinge but also permits some medial and lateral rotation.

A contractile, rod shaped organelle that makes up more than 80% of the sarcoplasm.

Mover of arm flexion, rotates arm medially, abducts arm

Luxation and subluxtion are examples of this joint injury?

In this type of Fibrous joint, the bones are connected exclusively by ligaments and is amphiathrosis.

An example of a saddle joint

Concentric contraction that is initiated by release of calcium ions which are powered by ATP. During contraction, myosin heads bind to actin, detach and bind again to propel thin filaments toward the M line.

Flex vertebral column and compress abdominal wall, trunk rotation and lateral flexion

Housemaid's knee and students elbow are examples of this condition
