Question

For each selected joint you should discuss:

• The anatomical features of the joint (What type of joint is it? What bones/bony structures are present? If relevant, what soft tissue structures are associated with the joint?)

• Movements that are possible at the joint (What types of movement are possible? What anatomical plane do those movements occur in?)

• An example of a complex motion that would require an action at that joint to happen (for example, if you chose “ankle joint” you might select “dorsiflexion of the foot” and you might use “releasing pressure from a gas pedal while driving” as a specific example)

KNEE

SHOULDER

WRIST

The thigh bone (femur) meets the large shin bone (tibia) to form the final knew joint

Type-Hinge type synovial joint

Mainly Flexion & extension(small degree of lateral medial rotation also possible)

Formed By Articulation of petella,femur,tibia

2.SHOLDER

Structurally classified as Synovial ball and socket joint

Function-Diarthrosis and multiaxial bone

Also known as glenohumeral joint

Is a ball and socket joint between the scapula and the humerus

Major joint connecting upper limb to the trunk

One of the most mobile joint in human body

3.WRIST

Radiocarpal joint
