Question 3

freely movable joint exhibiting a joint cavity enclosed by a fibrous capsule lined with synovial membrane

Answer 3

synovial joint

Question 4

hyaline cartilage covering the epiphysis of a bone at a joint

Answer 4

articular cartilage

Question 5

the joint surfaces are enclosed by a sleeve, or layer, or fibrous connective tissue, which is lined with a smooth synovial membrane

Answer 5

articular capsule

Question 6

enclosed by articular cartilage; contains lubricating synovial fluid secreted by the synovial membrane

Answer 6

joint cavity

Question 7

the fibrous layer of the capsule is usually reinforced with ligaments

Answer 7

reinforcing ligaments

Question 8

an elongated bursa that wraps completely around a tendon subjected to friction

Answer 8

tendon sheath

Question 9

when a bone is forced out of its normal position in the joint cavity

Answer 9

dislocation

Question 10

restoring broken bone ends ( or dislocated bone) to its original position

Answer 10

reduction

Question 11

nonaxial synovial joint in which two bones have flat articular surfaces; a plane joint allows only short gliding movements

Answer 11

plane joint

Answer 13

Pivot joint

Question 14

biaxial synovial joint in which the convex surface of one bone fits into the concave surface of another.

Answer 14

condylar joint

Question 15

biaxial synovial joint in which both articulating bones have both convex and concave surfaces

Answer 15

saddle joint

Question 16

multiaxial synovial joint in which the rounded head of one bone fits into a socket (depression) of the other

Answer 16

ball and socket joint

Question 17

“water on the knee”, due to inflammation of bursae or a synovial membrane

Answer 17

Bursitis

Question 18

when the ligaments or tendons reinforcing a joint are damaged by exercise, or are torn away from the bone

Answer 18

sprain

Question 19

inflammation of the joints

Answer 19

arthritis

Question 20

extra bone tissue grows around the margins of the eroded cartilage and restricts joint movement

Answer 20

Answer 24

ankylosis

Question 25

caused by uric acid build up in joints, gout

Answer 25

Answer 29

Synovial fluid

Question 30

an immovable joint

Answer 30
