Learning Objectives By the end of this lesson pupils should: ü Understand the range of movement possible at a hinge and ball and socket joint

The Structure of Joints

The Structure of Joints ü A joint is a place where two or more bones meet ü Joints allow a variety of movements. In GCSE PE you only need to know the following: - Flexion - Extension - Adduction - Abduction - Rotation

The Elbow Joint

The Elbow Joint ü The elbow joint is a hinge joint ü or It allows the arm to bend (flex), straighten (extend) ü The most common example of flexion and extension is bending the arm when eating

The Elbow Joint

The Knee Joint

The Knee Joint ü The knee joint is also a hinge joint and the largest, most complex joint in the body ü It allows the knee to bend (flex), or straighten (extend) ü A common example of both these movements is when kicking a football

The Knee Joint

Ball & Socket Joints

Ball & Socket Joints ü The shoulder and hip are both ball and socket joints ü Ball and socket joints are called this because the head of the bone looks like a ball and fits into a socket shaped like a cup ü Both the shoulder and hip joints can produce abduction, adduction, flexion, extension and rotation

The Shoulder Joint

The Hip Joint
