* stncondrosis
Suture joint
Irregular edges of bones bound together by connective fibers
Syndesmosis joint
Long fibers that have a little give that connect two bones
Gomphosis
Joint between the teeth and sockets
Symphysis
Intervertebral disks
Pubic symphysis
Synchondrosis
Costal cartilage
Epiphyseal plate
Joint capsul
Sleeve if connective tissue enclosing the joint
Joint cavity
Cavity around bone ends that contains synovial fluid
Composition of synovial fluid
Water and nutrients
Reinforcing ligaments
Ligaments that reinforce the joint capsul
Bursa
Flattened sack lined with synovial membrane and contains synovial fluid found where joints rub together
Tendon sheath
Elongated bursa that wraps completely around a tendon that is subject to friction
Plane joint
Gliding between two flat surfaces
•intercarpal joints
Hinge joint
Cylinder if one bone fits into trough if another
•elbow
Pivot joint
Rounded end f one bond fits into sleeve of another bone
• proximal radius/ulna
Condyloid joint

Saddle joint
Each bone had a concave/convex region
•thumb
Ball and socket joint
Most freely moving joint
•hip
Sprain
Ligaments and tendons reinforcing joint are damaged or torn
•long time to head b/c of limited blood supply

To extend beyond the normal range of motion
