Joints Flashcards
sytharoses
immovable joint
diathroses
freely movable joint
amphiarthroses

types of fibrous joints?
sutures, sydesmoses, gomphoses
gomphoses
-peg in socket
-only seen in teeth, alveolar sockets
syndesmoses
-bonds of fibrous tissue
-short = less mvmt
-long = more mvmt
sutures
-rigid interlocking skull joints
-slowly ossify over time
cartilaginous joints features
united by cartilage, no cavity, kind of moveable
synchondroses are what kind of cartilage?
hyaline
