relaxin	the hormone, in women, that increasese the flexibility of the fibrocartilage that forms the symphysis and loosens the ligaments betwoeen the sacrum and the hip bone, assisting in childbirth, by enlarging the pelvic outlet.
Fibrous joints	has no synovial cavity, are held together by fibrous ct., rich in collagen fibers.
3 type-fibrous joints	suture, syndesmosis, gomphosis
suture	made of thin layer dense ct, join skull bones, is immovable-called synarthrosis.
syndesmosis	distance between the amt of dense ct between the bones greater than in suture, joint has more give than a suture, - amphiarthrosis-slightly moveableEx: joint between the distal ends of the tibia and fibia.
gomphosis	cone shapedbone that fits like a bolt or nail, is an immovable joint-synarthrosis-ex: teeth and the sockets in the alveolar processes of the mandible and maxilla
Cartilaginous joints	little or no movement, articulating bones are tightly connected by cartilage
fibrous cartilage	hyaline-epiphyseal plate., pubic symphysis
