A

Synovial joints

18
Q

The joint cavity is lined with…

A

A synovial membrane

19
Q

synovial membrane function

A

20
Q

Joint cavity is surrounded by a…

A

21
Q

Ends of the articulating bones are covered with…

A

Articular (hyaline) cartilage

22
Q

Help provide structural support to the joint

23
Q

Types of synovial joints

A

Plane, hinge, condylar, saddle, and ball/socket

24
Q

Plane joint is also called the

A

Gliding joint

25
Allows movement to occur in a sliding matter
Plane joint
26
Example of plane joints
Intercarpal and intertarsal joints
27
Formed when convex and concave surfaces move on one another in a uniplanar movement
Hinge joint
28
Examples of hinge joints
Elbow, knee, and interphalangeal joints
29
Formed when a convex surface of one bone articulates with a concave surface of another in a biplanar manner
Condylar joint
30
Example of condylar joint
Metacarpophalangeal joints
31
Found when the articulating bones each have a convex and concave surface, allowing movement to occur at the right angles
Saddle joints
32
Example of saddle joint
Carpometacarpal joint of the thumb
33
Where’s the carpometacarpal joint located
In thumb between the metacarpal and trapezium
34
One where a spherical head and cup like depression articulates with one another, allowing multiaxial movement
Ball and socket joint
35
Example of a Ball and socket joint
Shoulder and hip joint
