37
Q

What is the function of an epiphyseal plate? (Growth plate)

A

Cartilage-to-bone transition

38
Q

A

The microscopic connective tissue between bone and bone on the cranium

51
Q

What is the common structure of syndesmosis fibrous joints and what is an example of it?

A

Syndesmoses are usually shaped like a sheet of connective tissues connecting one bone to another bone.

A
  • Articular capsule (fibrous layer, synovial membrane)
  • Cavity filled with synovial fluid
  • Bones at joint layered with articular cartilage
  • Supported by ligaments
55
Q

What are the 6 different classifications of joints and their movements?

A

Pivot- rotation
Hinge- flexion/extension
Saddle- front to back/side to side (biaxial)
Condyloid- wobble side to side/front to back (fingers)
Plane- two flat bones sliding
Ball and socket- multiaxial

56
Q
