Answer |
| 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 |
