Pectoral girdle, pelvic girdle, upper limb, lower limb

33
Q

Fibrous joints

A

bones connected by fibrous tissue that permits very little or no movement

34
Q

Cartilaginous joints

A

pad of cartilage between bones that allow limited movement by compression of the cartilage

35
Q

Synovial joints

A

fibrous capsule lined by a synovial membrane and filled with synovial fluid, with articular surfaces coated in hyaline cartilage

36
Q

rotary movement around one axis

39
Q

Synovial saddle joint

A

movement around two axes allowing flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, circumduction

40

Q

Cartilage

A

dense connective tissue of fibres within a matrix

42
Q

Functions of cartilage

A

Support and shape structures, cushioning and absorbing shock

43
Q

Hyaline cartilage

A

covers bone surfaces at joints. acts as common connector

44
Q

Fibrous cartilage

A

strong and rigid, composed of fibrous elements

elastic and resilient with elastic fibres

46
Q

Ligaments

A

Fibrous connective tissue that binds bone to bone

47
Q

Bursae

A

Synovial sacs located at friction points between tendons, ligaments and bones

48
Q

Function of bursae

A

Act as cushion to reduce stress and friction on adjacent surfaces
