43
Q

• Is more restricted in its distribution that hyaline cartilage
• Found in most symphyses (pelvic, intervertebral) and in the menisci of the stifle and temporomandibular joints

A

Fibrocartilage

44
Q

• this cartilage possesses a matrix containing large amounts of elastic fibers
• The resulting cartilage has a great deal of flexibility, but nonetheless considerable strength

A

Elastic cartilage

45
Q

Elastic cartilage forms the skeleton of the

A

pinna, the external nose and the epiglottis

46
Q
  • this joint are capable of minimal to no movement
  • Main goal of synarthrosis is to hold the bones together
A

Fibrous joints

47
Q

48
Q

considerable amount of connective tissue intervenes between the two bones in question (e.g. the tibiofibular joint, the attachment of hyoid apparatus to the skull)

A

Syndesmoses

49
Q

the specialized joints that hold the teeth in their alveoli

50
Q

• this joint permit only limited motion
• Mainly stretching or compression

A

Cartilaginous joints

51
Q

This joint are mainly characteristic of growing bone and are lost as the animal matures

A

Hyaline cartilage joints

52
Q

• This joint features of the mature skeleton
• They are found in the pelvic symphysis, mandibular symphysis, and between the sternebrae and vertebral bodies
• These joints occasionally ossify with advanced age

A

Fibrocartilaginous joints

53
Q

• Permit only relatively wide range of motion
• The range of motion at a joint may be in a single plane (eg. elbow), or in multiple directions (e.g. hip)
Motions that can take place at joints, depending on the form of the joint, include flexion, extension, hyperextension, abduction, adduction, rotation and circumduction

• The upper and lower jaws are of the same length, and the dental arcades meet evenly along their full extent

A

Mesaticephalic

86
Q
