What are the 4 different spinal curvatures? Which are considered as primary and what does this mean? Which are considered as secondary and what does this mean?
Know the 3 different conditions of abnormal spinal curvatures (causes and effects, specifically how and where does it affect the spine): kyphosis, lordosis, and scoliosis.
What are the 3 functional classifications of joints? How do they differ?
What are the 3 structural classification of joints? How do they differ?
Know the "subtype" of each structural classification (how they differ, whether they move or not, what movements they allow, and the examples of the joints discussed in lecture): suture, gomphosis, syndesmosis, synchondrosis, symphysis, plane, hinge, condylar, saddle, pivot, and ball-and-socket joint.
Know the general and accessory structures of a synovial joint in helping with absorbing shock and stability of the joint: articular cartilage, synovial fluid, cartilage (meniscus), ligaments, tendons, and bursa.
What is bursitis and what can cause this condition?
What is a bunion and what can cause this condition?
Know all types of articular motion discussed in lecture and know how to apply them in an actual movement/action: gliding, flexion/extension/hyperextension, abduction/adduction, circumduction, medial/lateral rotation, pronation/supination, inversion/eversion, dorsiflexion/plantar flexion, opposition/reposition, protraction/retraction, depression/elevation, lateral flexion.
What are the 3 components of the intervertebral discs? What happens to them when you have a bulging disc? What happens when you have a herniated disc?
Where are the following ligaments located along the intervertebral joints to support/stabilize them: ligament flava, posterior longitudinal ligament, anterior longitudinal ligament, interspinous ligament, supraspinous ligament?
Where are the 3 articulations in a knee joint?
What part of the knee joint does the following support: quadriceps tendon, patellar ligament, popliteal ligament, anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, tibial collateral ligament, and fibular collateral ligament?
What is a "trick knee"?
Do ligaments heal easily? If not, what type of treatment does a torn ligament require?
Distinguish between the following types of arthritis: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gouty arthritis, and septic arthritis.
