Question

Procedure 2 Classifying Synovial Joints For each of the following joints, first list the joint's structural classification in Table 8.2.Then obtain an artic- ulated skeleton so you can manipulate each joint and determine if the joint is nonaxial, uniaxial, biaxial, or multiaxial. When you have completed this activity, answer Check Your Understanding question 4 (p. 205). TABLE 8.2 Classification of Synovial Joints loint Range of Metion (nonaxial, uniaxial, biaxial, or multiaxial) Shoulder joint intercarpal joint Proximal radioulnar joint Radiocarpal joint Thumb carpometacarpal joint Interphalangeal joint Knee joint Atlantoaxial joint Hip joint Articulations I UNIT 8I 19

Explanation / Answer

Shoulder joint - synovial, multiaxial movement

Intercarpal joint - synovial joint, non axial movement

Proximal radioulnar joint - synovial joint, uniaxial movement

Radiocarpal joint - synovial joint, multiaxial movement

Thumb carpomatacarpal joint - synovial joint, biaxial movement

Interphalangeal joint - synovial joint, biaxial movement

Knee joint - synovial joint, biaxial movement

Atlanto axial joint - cartilagenous joint, biaxial movement

Hip joint - synovial joint, multiaxial movement
