| Question | 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 |
