a junction between two or more bones

30
Q

Groups/types of joints

A

Fibrous
Cartilaginous
Synovial
Fibro-cartilaginous

31

Fibrous joint

A

dense connective tissue

little movement

32

A

cartilage

some movement

33
Q

Synovial joint

A

joint cavity with synovial fluid

a lot of movement

34
Q

48
Q

Circumduction

A

move limb in circular motion

49
Q
