16
Q

Plane

A

Surfaces are nearly flat or slightly curved. May slide and twist. Ex: wrist or ankle.

17
Q

Condylar

A

Oval shaped condolences of one bone that fits with elliptical cavity of another. Can move but not full rotate. Ex: joints between fingers.

18
Q

Ball - and - socket

A

Head of one bone articulates with the cup shaped socket of another. Movement in all rotations. Ex: shoulder and hip.

19
Q

Synovial

A

Ends of bones surrounded by joint caps. Covered by hyaline cartilage and separated by synovial fluid.

20
Q

Synchondrosis

A

Bones united by hyaline cartilage. Ex: joints between the ribs.

21
Q

Cartilage joints

A

Bones held together by hyaline cartilage.

22
Q

Gomphosis

A

Cone shaped process in bony socket. Ex: tooth root.

23
Q

Structure

A

Flat bones weaved together by ligaments.

24
Q

Syndesmosis

A

Situated between bone ligaments. Joint is flexible and may be twisted.

25
Q

Fibrous joints

A

Bones held together by a thin layer.

26
Q

Cartilaginous joints

A

Hyaline cartilage of fibrocartilage connects the bones.

27
Q

Articular cartilage

A

Resists wear and minimizes friction when it is compressed as the joint moves.

28
Q

Synovial joints

A

Most joints are this. Allow free movement structure is more complex.

29
Q

Synchondrosis

A

Bands of hyaline cartilage unite the bone. Many are temporary and disappear during growth.

30
Q

Symphysis

A

Covered by a thin layer of hyaline cartilage bones connected by a pad of fibrocartilage. Limited movement.

31
Q

Fibrous joints

A

A dense connective tissue holding together many collagen fibers. Found in between bones close in contact.

32
Q

Joint capsule

A

Two distinct layers. Holds joints together.

33
Q

Syndesmosis

A

The bones are bound by a sheet or bundle of dense tissue. Flexible and may be twisted. Joints may permit slight movement. Found between the tibia and fibula.

34
Q

Sutures

A

Only found between flat bones of the skull were adjacent. Bones grow together. Allow the skull to change shape slightly during child birth.

35
Q

Gomphosis

A

A joint formed by the union of a cone-shaped bony process in the body socket.
