muscular system

Question 1

Structure between two bones

Answer 1

JOINT

Question 2

• Diarthrosis (high mobility)

Answer 2

• All synovial joints (e.g. shoulder, hip)

Question 3

• Amphiarthrosis (intermediate or limited mobility)

Answer 3

• Syndesmosis (e.g. distal tibio-fibular joint)

* Interosseus membrane (e.g. between radius-ulna, between tibia-fibula)

Question 4

• Synarthrosis (no mobility)

Answer 4

• Suture (e.g. skull)

* Gomphosis (e.g. dentoalveolar joint)

Question 5

• Synovial joint (joint cavity)

Answer 5

• e.g. joints of the appendicular skeleton

Question 6

• Fibrous joint (fibrous connective tissue)

Answer 6

• Suture (e.g. skull)
• Syndesmosis (e.g. distal tibio-fibular joints)
• Gomphosis (e.g. teeth)
• Interosseus membrane (e.g. between shafts of tibia-fibula)

Question 7

• Cartilage joint (cartilage connective tissue)

Answer 7

• Synchondrosis (e.g. growth plates)

* Symphysis (e.g. pubis, iv disc)

Question 8

3 different types
of material
found in joints

Answer 8

A. Synovial joint
B. Fibrous joint
C. Cartilage joint

Question 9

Types of synovial joints

Answer 9

• Plane (uniaxial) 
• Hinge (uniaxial) 
• Saddle (biaxial) 
• Condyloid (biaxial) 
• Ball & socket
(multiaxial)
• Pivot (uniaxial)

Question 10

• united by fibrous tissue (dense irregular

connective tissue)

Answer 10

Fibrous joint

Question 11

found only in between the flat
bones of the skull, very close
and interlocking, overlapping

Answer 11

Suture

Question 12

suture that has fused in the adult

Answer 12

Synostosis

Question 13

• allows no motion at all

Answer 13

Suture

Question 14

dense irregular connective tissue in
between the bones in the form of a 
• fibrous sheet, interosseous
membrane (e.g. between
shafts of tibia
-fibula)

membrane, as in a gomphosis
-
(periodontal membrane)
dento
-alveolar socket
articulation (tooth), no motion

or arranged as a bundle,
ligament (e.g. distal tibia
-

fibular joint)

Answer 14

Syndesmoses

Question 15

cartilage in between Synchondrosis and Symphysis

Answer 15

Cartilaginous joint

Question 16

• in the immature skeleton, a physeal plate between epiphysis and
metaphysis
• becomes a synostosis in the adult
• no motion

Answer 16

Synchondrosis (primary)

Question 17

• fibrocartilage between the bone ends
• symphysis joints are found in the midline (e.g.intervertebral discs, between
pubic bones, between manubrium and sternum)
• allows some motion, compression and tension, shock absorption

Answer 17

Symphysis (secondary)
