Name and describe the three classes of joints based on structure
Fibrous-no joint cavity, joint held together with fibrous c.t.
Cartialgnous-joint held together with cartilage
Synovial-bones held together by ligaments
It is a place where bones meet
Articulation
Synarthrosis
Immovable joints
Amphiarthrosis
Slightly movable
Diarthrosis
Freely movable
Slightly movable joint
Amphiarthrotic
Structures between skull bones are examples
Synarthrotic
Freely movable joints
Diarthrotic
Discs between vertebrae are examples of
Amphiarthrotic
Attachment of a tooth to its socket in the mandible or maxilla
Synarthrotic
Immovable joints
Synarthrotic
More movable than a suture but less mobile than a joint like the elbow
Amphiarthrotic
The symphysis pubis is an example
Amphiarthrotic
The distal end of the tibia/fibula is an example
Amphiarthrotic
The epiphysial plate in growing bone is an example
Sinarthrotic
Hyaline cartilage that covers ends of articulating bones
Articulate cartilage
It lubricates the joints and nourishes the cartilage
Synovial fluid
Inner layer of the articulate capsule that produces synovial fluid
Synovial membrane
Pad of cartilage to help stabilize the joint
Meniscus
Together these form the articular capsule (2 answers)
Fibrous capsule
Synovial membrane
