Lesson 7 Joints: Classification

Question 1

is where two bones meet, articulate with one another to form a connection

Answer 1

joint or articulation

Question 2

is where the adjacent bones are united by fibrous connective tissue.
Examples includes suture joint of the skull,

Answer 2

Fibrous joint

Question 3

the bones are joined by hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage. Examples are: the temporary hyaline cartilage of the epiphyseal plate

Answer 3

Cartilaginous joint

Question 4

the articulating surfaces of the bones are not directly connected, but instead
come into contact with each other within a joint cavity that is filled with a lubricating fluid

Answer 4

Synovial joint

Question 5

includes suture joint between the joints of the skull, and the epiphyseal growth plate growing along the long bones like femur.

Answer 5

Synarthrosis or Immovable Joint

Question 6

joint that haslimited movements.

Example is the cartilaginous joint that unites the bodies of adjacent vertebrae.

Answer 6

Amphiarthrosis or Slightly movable joint

Question 7

this describes all synovial joints of the body

Answer 7

Diarthrosis or Freely movable joint

Question 8

allows motion in a single plane.

Example is the elbow joint which allows flexion and extension the arm.

Answer 8

Uniaxial joint

Question 9

allows for motions within two planes. An example is a metacarpophalangeal joint

Answer 9

Biaxial joint

Question 10

also known as polyaxial or triaxial joint which allows several directions of movements.

Answer 10

Multiaxial joint
