Articulation
6Large rounded bump that is used to form a joint with another bone
Condyle
7A projection closely associated with a condyle, epi means above

18Dense regular connective tissue that connects bone to muscle
Tendon
19Sheet of dense regular connectivetissues that takes place of tendon in flat muscles having a wide area of attachment
Aponeurosis
20Attachment of muscle on the more stable bone
Origin
21Attachment of a muscle on the more movable bone
Insertion
22What happens when the more movable bone is brought to the more stable bone
Action
23Muscle that provides primary force during the action
Agonist/prime mover
24In opposition to prime mover; provides somes sort of resistance to a given movement
Antagonist
25Muscle that acts in concert with another muscle to enhance its effects
Synergist
26Most common joint in the body

Lateral rotation
34Movement of a joint around its long axis toward the midline
Medial rotation
35Moving a structure superiorly
Elevation
36Moving a structure inferiorly
Depression
37Turn the palm anteriorly
Supination
38Turn the wrist/hand from palm facing front to palm facing back
Pronation
39Flexing the ankle joint and the elevation of the sole
Dorsiflexion
40Extends the ankle joint elevates the heel
