41
Q

What is a joint

A

A joint is where two bones meet

42
Q

How to classify joints

A

Based on two criteria
1. The range of motion
2. The type of tissue holding the bones together

43
Q

Which criteria should a joint meet to become a synovial joint?

A
  1. Range of motion; should allow for a large range of motion
  2. Tissue holding the bones together; a) Both bones should have hyaline cartilage on their articulating surface, b) They should be enclosed in a capsule creating the joint cavity with synovial fluid
44
Q

The articular capsule is made up of

A

Fibrous connective tissue

45
Q

On the deep side of the articular capsule we find the?

A

Synovial membrane

46
Q

Synovial membrane secrets?

62
Q

Gliding joints are uniaxial; true/false

A
