Synarthroses Joints | (solid joints) fibrous joints, cartilaginous joints |
Diarthrosis/Synovial Joints | (hollow joints) most common type of joint, found in knee, shoulder, elbow, etc... |
Fibrous Joints | interosseous membrane, sydesmosis, sutures |
Cartilaginous Joints | synchondrosis, symphisis |
Interosseous Membrane | fibrous joint, sheet of dense CT, found b/w tibia/fibula & radius/ulna |
Sutures | fibrous joint, close bony junction, found b/w large plate-like bones of skull |
Synchondrosis | cartilaginous joint, hyaline cartilage, found only in children |
Symphysis | cartilaginous joint, fibrocartilage, make up inervertebral discs & the symphisis pubis |
Fibrous Membrane/Capsular Ligament | external layer, thickened continuation of the periosteum |
Synovial Membrane | internal layer, connects margins of one articular cartilage to the margins of the opposite articular cartilage, forming with it |
Synovial Fluid | coats and lubricates the articular cartilage |
Meniscus | partially divides a joint |
Ligaments | made of dense regular CT, attach bone to bone |
Bursae | fluid filled sac that reduces friction |
Retinaculum | holds tendon in place, prevents it from being displaced upward away from the joint |
Synovial Sheath | wraps around a tendon to protect it from friction on all sides |
