Introduction to Anatomy Test Review
Terminology, Articulations/Motions & Bones
Terminology:
Know ALL of the terms of direction  notebook page # _____ (for your reference)
Know ALL of the ranges of motion of synovial joints  page # _____
Be able to identify the correct names of the bones of the skeleton  page # _____
Articulations/Motions:
Be able to match-up the following terms and definitions
(write the answer to the right of the term or below it):
Abduction
A. Movement of a limb toward the midline
Inversion
Q. Only allows flexion and extension
Adduction
B. Extends the foot to point the toes
Opposition
R. Occurs in the transverse plane, moving the
body part backward
Amphiarthroses
C. Joints that lack a synovial cavity
Pivot Joint
Ball and Socket Joint
D. Occurs in the transverse plane, moving the
body part forward
S. Moves the thumb to touch the tips of the
fingers
Plantar Flexion
T. Turns the sole of the foot medially
Circumduction
E. Immovable
Pronation
Condyloid Joint
F. The ability of a limb to move in a circular
motion around an axis. Proximal end is
stationary while the distal end moves in a circle.
U. Can move in many directions but cannot
rotate
Protraction
V. Increases the angle between two bones
Depression
G. Decreases the angle between two bones
Retraction
W. Moving a body part inferiorly
Diarthroses
H. Slightly movable joints
Rotation
X. Allows bones to make a sliding motion
Dorsiflexion
I. When a bone turns on its axis towards or
away from the midline of the body.
Saddle Joint
Y. When two bones have both concave and
convex regions with the shapes of the two bones
complementing each other. Only in the thumb
Elevation
J. Increases the angle between two bones
beyond the normal range of motion
Supination
Z. Lifting a body part superiorly
Eversion
K. The act of turning the palm downward
Suture Joint
AA. Provides the widest range of motion
Extension
L. Bringing the toes toward the tibia
Synarthroses
BB. Bones are connected by ligaments between
the bones
Flexion
M. Turns the sole of the foot
Syndesmoses
CC. Most joints in the adult body
laterally Gliding Joint
N. Movement of a limb away from the midline
Hinge Joint
O. Freely movable
Hyperextension
P. The act of turning the palm upward
DD. Creates a rotational movement
EE. Only found in the skull
