Basic Joint Anatomy Worksheet

1. Why is there little to no movement in a fibrous joint?

Because the bones are joined together with strong fibrous tissue.

2.What is an example of a fibrous joint?

An example of a fibrous joint are the joints between the bones that make up the skull.

3. Describe a cartilaginous joint and give an example.

Very little movement occurs at these joints because they are joined by intervening fibrocartilage. An example of this is anywhere between the vertebrae of the vertebral column

4. What type of joint essentially allows free movement?

A synovial joint

5. What lubricates a joint cavity?

Synovial fluids

6. For the following joint types please list the name of the joint type, the type of movement of the joint, the shape of the joint and an example.

• Plane joint- is a slightly curved articular joint which permits gliding or slipping in any direction. An example is the joints in your hands.



• Hinge joint- A joint in which one surface is shaped like a cylinder and the other is shaped like a concave groove. It allows movement around that single axis. An example is the joint in your elbow.



• Condylar joint- It has two articular surfaces. Its movement is similar to a hinge joint but it allows a couple more movements as well. an example is your knee joint



• Ball and Socket joint- Consists of a ball shaped end of a bone which fits into a cup-shaped joint socket on the other bone. Movement is possible in many directions such as a shoulder joint allows.



• Ellipsoidal joint- Is similar to a ball and socket joint except the joint socket is shaped more like an ellipse rather than a circle. An example of this is a wrist joint.



• Pivot joint- Has a bony peg which fits into a concave notch in such a way that one bone can pivot with respect to the other, such as the joint between the radius and the ulna.



• Saddle joint- resembles two western saddles. One is inverted and the other is turned at right angles to the first. Both articulating surfaces are concave in one direction and convew in the other. An example would be the joint that the thumb fits into.

Beauty Video Questions

1.Do you think that the symmetry test conducted on the baby was flawed? How? Describe how you would design an experiment that could fool the baby and skew the results.

I think that it was flawed because the baby is what it is. most likely this test was flawed because babies go by what people look like and someone could remind them of someone else. i dont rly know how i would design an expiriment like that.

2.What is missing from this video about beauty?

They dont mention very much about qualities like personality. They also are biased and think that plastic surgery is the cure for ugliness. i believe that beauty shoul dnot be artificial.

3.How does this video make you feel about beauty?

People try too hard to be beatiful. Some become obsessed by it. People should be fine with the way they are.

4.What is it about the skin that makes it return to its place? What property is this?
What are the risks of cosmetic surgery? Would you ever do it? What would you be willing to risk for cosmetic surgery? How long will it last?

It is the fact that your skin has certain DNA plans that it follows. if your skin is going to move, what is the sense in getting surgery done if your skin will just look like it does later on in life? Risks are that if there is a messs up, then your face is uglier than it was before the surgery. i would never do it simply because i am fine the way i am. i wouldnt risk anything for this stupid procedure. doesn't matter how long it would last, its not going to happen.

Integumentary Study Questions

Critical Thinking Questions

3. As a rule, a superficial partial-thickness burn is more painful than one ivolving deeper tissues. How would you explain this observation?

I'd say that the reason is that once the burn reaches deeper tissues, it bruns out your nerves. Either that or there is so mmany signals going off that the feeling is nulled.

6. How would you explain to an ahtlete the importance of keeping the body hydrated when exercising in warm weather?

Besides the fact that he should know it, water keeps the body from cramping up from dehydration.

8. How is skin peeling after a severe sunburn protective? How might a fever be protective?

When skin peels, it is getting whatever is dead or harmful to the body away from the body. A fever could be protective b/c germs and other things can't survive past a certain temperature.(i guess)

Review Exercises

4. List six functions of skin.

Protective covering, retains water, regulates body temperature, houses sensory receptors, contains immune system cells, synthesizes various chemicals, and excretes small quantities of waste.

5. Distinguish between the epidermis and the dermis.

Epidermis- outer layer of skin. composed of squamus epithelium.

Dermis- Inner layer of skin. thicker than epidermis. is made of connective tissue containing collagen and elastic fibers, epithelial tissue, smooth muscle tissue, nervous tissue, and blood.

6. Describe the subcutaneous layer.

Subcutaneous layer- a layer of masses of loose connective and adipose tissues that bind the skin to underlying organs.

8. List the layers of the epidermis.

Stratum corneum, Stratum lucidum, Stratum granulosum, Stratum spinosum, Stratum basale.

13. Distinguish between a hair and a hair follicle.

Hair is the stuff you actually see. a hair follicle is the tubelike depression the hair shaft comes out of.

15. Describe how nails are formed.

Specialized epithelial cells that are continuous with the epithelium of th eskin produce the nail bed. The lunula at the base of a nail plate is where the cells divide, and newly formed cells keratinize which gives rise to tiny scales that become part of the nail plate.

16. Explain the function of sebaceous glands.

The function of sebaceous glands are to keep the hairs and the skin soft, pliable, and waterproof.

22. Describe the body's responses to decreasing body temperature.

Your brain decreases te flow of heat-carrying blood through the skin, which tends to lose color, and helps reduce heat loss by radiation, conduction and convection. Also, sweat glands become inactive. If that doesnt help, muscle in your body are triggered to contract slightly and rhythmically to produce heat.

25. Describe three physiological factors that affect skin color.

Genes inherited from parents can determine your skin color by how much melanin is produced by cells. Environmental factors such as sun/UV rays tan skin by stimulating the melanocytes to produce more pigments. Physiological factors such as blood in the dermal vessels adds color to the skin.

27. Distinguish between the healing of shallow and deeper breaks in the skin.

If a break is shallow, the epithelial cells are triggered to divide mor erapidly than usual and the new cells fill in the gaps. if the injury is as deep as the dermis or subcutaneous layer, blood vessels break, and teh escaping blood forms a clot in the wound. As the process goes on, eventually a scab is formed.

28. Describe possible treatments for a third-degree burn.

Skin grafts and skin substitutes are the best cures for third-degree burns.

29. List three effects of aging on skin.

Nails harden, receptors fail, and hair turns gray or white.

Cell Video Questions

The building blocks of life are cells.

All cells in a human are not the same. Please give examples of at least two different types of cells in humans.

Two different types of cells are cells such as white blood cells and stem cells

Why are cells not the same?

They are specialized to perform different functions.


The first person to discover cells was Robert Hooke. He called them cells because they looked like the cells that monks live in. He first saw cells when he was looking at a piece of cork under a microscope.


The cell theory was created by Schleiden and Schwann.

All cells arise from pre-existing cells.

Unlike animal cells, plant cells contain the organellescell walls and chloroplasts.


All animal cells are covered in a cell membrane. The function of this is to support the cell and regulate what goes in and out of the cell.


The different parts of the cell are known as organelles. Each organelle has a specific function. The function of the nucleus is to control the actions of the cell. The mitochondria are also known as the powerhouses of the cell because their function is to produce energy for the cell to use. Storage is the main function of the vacuoles.


Bacteria are interesting organisms. Bacterial cells do not have a nucleus. Instead the chromosomes of the cell are located in the cytoplasm instead of the nucleus.


There are different types of transport used in cells as well. diffusion is the movement of particles from high concentration to low concentration. Osmosis is different than this because it requires a difference in concentration at two different points in a solution and a permeable membrane between those points.


What is the difference between active and passive transport?

Active transport requires energy to perform and passive trtansport doesnt require any energy.

What organelle makes the energy used in active transport?

The mitochondria

Is a virus a living cell?

This is not sure about a virus. Viruses do not belong to the kingdom of living things though. It is also one of the most debated subjects up to this day.

What is contained inside a virus?

A strand of DNA or RNA.

What is the only life function of a virus?

to infect a cell and reproduce from that cell.

Study Questions

1.Distinguish between the study of anatomy and the study of physiology.
Anatomy is the study of the structures of the human body. Physiology is the
study of the functions of the structures in the human body.

2.Give an example that shows the relationship between the structure and function
of body parts
Your ears are shaped how they are so that the sound waves that enter your ear get to the eardrum without interference.

3.List the levels of organization within the human body in reference to a specific organ
Atoms form molecules which then form macromolecule and then become organelles which in turn becomes many specialized stomach cells which then form into stomach tissue and then group together to become the stomach.

4.Distinguish between a midsagittal cut, a transverse cut, and a frontal cut
A midsagittal cut is a cut along the sagittal plane around the pelvic area. A transverse cut divides the body into upper and lower halves. A frontal cut divides the body into dorsal and ventral sides.

6.Distinguish between the dorsal and ventral body cavities, and name two smaller cavities that occur within each
The dorsal cavity is located on the back side of the body and the cranial cavity is within it. The ventral cavity in located on the front side of the body and the thoracic cavity occurs in it.

10.Define homeostasis, and explain its importance.
Homeostasis is what keeps your body at an equilibrium. An example is that if you become hot, you sweat so that you can cool off. It is important so that your body doesnt die out from harsh conditions such as heat, cold, etc.
