interosseous membrane between radius and ulna and between tibia and fibula

Question 8

wedge of cartilage located between articulating bones; no joint cavity; no articular capsule

Answer 8

cartilaginous

Question 9

hyaline cartilage plate between bones

Answer 9

snychondrosis - cartilaginous - synarthrosis

Question 10

fibrocartilage pad between the hyaline cartilage on the two articulating bones

Answer 10

symphysis - cartilaginous - amphiarthrosis

Question 11

example of synchondrosis

Answer 11

epiphyseal plates; sternocostal joint

Question 12

example of symphysis

Answer 12

pubic symphysis between two pubic bones

Question 13

layer of hyaline cartilage covers surface of each articulating bone; separated by a fluid-filled joint cavity; articular capsule present

Answer 13

synovial

Question 14

non-axial; flat bone surface glide across one another

Answer 14

plane - synovial - diarthosis

uniaxial; convex surface of one bone fits into a concave surface of another bone to allow angular motion along axis

Answer 15

hinge - synovial - diarthosis

Question 16

uniaxial; projection of one bone fits into another bone; the second bone rotates around the first

Answer 16

pivot - synovial - diarthosis

Question 17

biaxial; convex oval surface of one bone articulates with concave oval surface of another bone

Answer 17

Question 18

biaxial; saddle-shaped surface of one bone fits into one depression of another bone

Answer 18

saddle - synovial - diarthosis
