Joints Flashcards
cartilaginous joints
articulating bone ends are connected by cartilage.
what type of joint are the intervertebral joints, and the pubic symphysis?
cartilaginous joints
Synovial joints
articulating bone ends are separated by a joint cavity containing synovial fluid. All synovial joints are diarthrosis.
fibrous joints
articulating bone ends are joined by fibrous tissues. Two types, sutures, and sydnesmoses
sutures
irregular edges of bones interlock and are joined by short connective tissue fibers.
syndesmoses
articulating bones are connected by short ligaments of dense fibrous tissue, bones do not interlock
