Question

Classify each joint listed in Table 8.1 by its structure. Then examine and manipulate the joint to determine the amount of motion allowed at the joint. When you have determined how much movement is allowed at the joint, classify it functionally. After you have completed the activity, answer Check Your Understanding questions 1 and 2 (p. 205). TABLE 8.1 Structural and Functional Classification of Joints Joint Structural Classification Amount of Motion Intervertebral joint Shoulder (glenohumeral) joint Intercarpal joint Coronal suture Pubic symphysis Interphalangeal joint 2 Exploring Anatomy in the Laboratory ·

Explanation / Answer

Intervertebral joint - cartilagenous joint, little movement, symphysis

Shoulder joint - synovial joint, angular and rotational movements, ball and socket joint

Intercarpal joint - synovial joint, little movement, plane synovial joint

Coronal suture - fibrous joint, no movement, suture

Pubic symphysis - cartilagenous joint, slight movement, symphysis

Interphalangeal joint - synovial joint, flexion and extension, hinge synovial joint
