What class of joints do the 'tibia/fibula, radius/ulna' bones come under, and what specific name is it given? Is the joint syn/amphi/di arthroses? What kind of membrane is present with these joints?
- fibrous joint
- syndasmoses
- amphiarthroses
- interosseous membrane
what kind of joint is the sternocostal joint and epiphyseal plate (temporary), what sub name do they have and why?
What kind of movement is permitted, if any?
- cartilaginous joint
- synchondroses because the joints are joined by HYALINE cartilage
- synarthroses and amphiarthroses
Why are males usually taller than females?
Their epiphyseal plates fuse at a later age and so more ossification can occur
Give 2 examples of cartilaginous, symphysis joints and explain why they are called this.
What kind of movement is permitted, if any?
- intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis
- made up of fibrocartilage
- amphiarthroses

- flexion and extension
- IP, knee and elbow
SYNOVIAL-What does a saddle joint permit and give an example?

- gliding or sliding movement
- acromioclavicular, ankle
SYNOVIAL-What does a pivot joint permit and give an example?
- rotation
- radioulnar joint, attached by annular ligament,atlantoaxial (above cervical vertebrae)
SYNOVIAL-What does a condyloid/gliding joint permit and give an example?
- flex,extend,abduct, adduct, circumduct
- metacarpophalangeal
