3
Q
Syndesmosis Joint

6
Q
Synostosis Joint
A
Two bones joined together by bone
- may have existed during development as a fibrous or cartilagenous joint but was replaced by bone at growth arrest - i.e. frontal bones & epiphyseal plate
7
Q
Diarthroses Joint
A
Synovial (moveable) Joints
- Ex. knee and elbow
8
Q
Diarthroses Features
A
- Synovial Space
- Synovial Fluid
- Fibrous Capsule
- Synovial Membrane or Sac

Q
Bursae & Synovial Tendon Sheaths
A
- Consists of a closed sac of serous membrane
- Synovial Tendon Sheaths
- inner layer: attached to tendon (visceral layer)
- outer layer: (outer layer)
Synovial fluid found within sac/cavity
