This type of motion occurs in a more or less straight line from one location to another. All parts of the object move the same distance, in the same direction, and at the same time.
Linear Motion
This type of motion occurs in a straight line, such as the motion of a child sledding down a hill or a sailboarder moving across the water.
Rectilinear Motion
This type of motion occurs in a curved path that is not necessarily circular, such as the path a diver takes after leaving the diving board until entering the water.
Curvilinear Motion
This type of motion occurs when an object moves around a fixed point.
Angular Motion

What are bands of fibrous tissue which connect bone to bone and prevent excessive joint motion.
Ligaments
What are small, padlike sacs found around most joints and in areas of excessive friction, such as between tendons and bony prominences. They are lined with synovial membrane and filled with a clear fluid to reduce friction between moving parts.
