Joints and Body Movements Laszlo Vass‚ Ed.D. Version 42-0014-00-01 Purpose: What is the purpose of this exercise? In this exercise I will exam how joints function and thereby discover how they allow for movement in the body. Joints are where two bones come together. The joints hold the bones together and allow for movement of the skeleton. All of the bones‚ except the hyoid bone in the neck‚ form a joint. Joints

Bronwyn Oihus Abstract As humans our bodies are made up of several types of tissues‚ organs‚ bones muscles and nerves. I am going to talk about the joints of the skeletal system. The skeletal system gives us our shape and protects the inner structures of our bodies. In this system there are areas where 2 or more bones are held together in one of three ways. These are called joints and the bones and movement of the bones classifies the type of joint that is in that particular area. Written assignment

Hinge joints A hinge joint is the simplest type of joint. It is found in the elbows and the joints of the fingers and toes. Hinge joints allow movement in only one direction. The hinge joint of the knee‚ the body’s largest joint‚ is unusual because it can swivel on its axis‚ allowing the foot to turn from side to side. Therefore‚ the knee is constantly rolling and gliding during walking. Gliding joints Gliding joints are the surfaces that are flat or slightly curved. These joints allow sliding

Muscle and joint actions both affect the performance of a discus-athlete. Various types of joint actions and muscular actions can take place once when the movement is executed by the athlete. As an example‚ a discus-thrower usually activates the horizontal abduction and the horizontal adduction during the preparation or execution phases of his/her throw. The ground contact of the discus-thrower is very important as it keeps the thrower’s center of gravity station within his/her strongest point of

called a joint or an articulation. Joints can be classified according to their structure and by the types of movement they allow. The body has more than 300 different joints. In the body there are three types of joints... Moveable/Synovial joints – Moveable joints allow for maximum movement. Moveable or synovial joints are normally found in the limbs‚ as we use these parts more than anything. Ligaments help to provide the stability of the bones‚ also the muscles contract giving movement. Examples

It’s at the foot that the human body makes contact with the ground. From the foot up‚ compensatory actions are taken to balance the body and keep the human moving forward. These actions can result in disorders that may affect much more than just the foot. Ankles‚ knees‚ hips‚ and all the bones in between‚ are each immediately affected when a foot strikes the ground. That is why analyzing gait‚ arch‚ and posture are all important in keeping the body healthy and in optimal function. With data collected

The Movement Of Blood Through The Body: Blood travels or circulates through the body through sort of pipes called blood vessels. The blood is pumped in to the blood vessel for circulation by the heart. The blood vessels are of three types called arteries‚ veins and capillaries. Arteries carry blood pumped by the heart to other parts of the body. Veins return the blood to the heart for pumping. Capillaries constitute a very large network of tiny blood vessels that reach every part of the body and

The Shoulder Joint The glenohumeral joint‚ or as it is more commonly referred to the shoulder joint ‚ is one of the most flexible and unstable joints in the body. As a ball and socket joint the shoulder allows circular motion and hinge movement. The rounded head or ‘ball’ of the humerus rests in the shallow dish shaped cavity or ‘socket’ created by the glenoid fossa of the scapula. This allows for a wide range of motion around several axes. There are two main bones that make up the shoulder
