synovial, cartilaginous, fibrous joints Flashcards
synovial plane joint
only allows gliding movement
synovial pivot
pivot joint is a synovial joint in which the ends of two bones connect
synovial ellipsoid
biaxial: flexion, extension, adduction, & abduction
synovial saddle
found in the thumb, the thorax, the middle ear, & the heel
synovial ball & socket
multiaxial: flexion/extension, adduction/abduction, & rotation (shoulder, hip joint)
synovial hinge
uniaxial: flexion & extension (elbow)
cartilaginous joint
bones connected by a pad of fibrocartilage
fibrous suture
joints between skull bones
skull joints
articulating bones: cranial & facial bones
class type: fibrous; suture
synarthrosis (no movement)
intervertebral joints
articulating bones: between adjacent vertebral bodies
class/type: cartilaginous, symphysis
amphiarthrosis
shoulder joint
articulating bones: scapula & humerus
class/type: synovial, ball & socket
diarthrosis
elbow joint
articulation of humerus, radius & ulna
synovial, hinge

proximal radioulnar joint
articulates with radius & ulna
