Question | Answer |
Fibrous | Dense connective tissue holding them together contains collagenous fibers |
Syndemosis | Bones are bound by long fibers of connective tissue that form an enterosseous ligament |
Suture | Only between flat bones of the skull, where the broad margins of adjacent bones grow together unite by a think layer of dense connective tissue. |
Gomphosis | Joint formed by the union of a come-shaped bony process in a bony socket. |
Synchondrosis | bands of hylaline cartilage unite the bones. |
Symphysis | The articular surfaces of the bones at a symphysis are covered by a thin layer of hyaline cartilage. |
Synovial joints | Allow free movement they are diarthortic. |
Joint Capsule | Has two distinct layers hold together bones of a synovial joint. |
Ligaments | Bundles of strong, tough collagenous fibers reinforce the joint capsule and help bind the articular ends of the bones. |
Synovial Membrane | Whish is only a few cells thick, covers all the surface within the jont capsule, except the areas the articular cartilage covers. |
Menisci | Synovial joints are partially or completely divided into two compartments by discs fo fibrocartilage. |
Ball - and - socket | Ball - shaped head of one bone articulates with cup - shaped socket of another |
Condyloid | Oval - shaped condyle of one bone articulates with elliptical cavity of another |
Gliding | Articulating surfaces are nearly flat of slightly curved |
Hinge | Convex surface of one bone articulates with concave surface of another |
Pivot | Cylindrical sufrace of one bone articulates with ring of bone fibrous tissue |
`Saddle | Articulating surfaces have both concave and convex regions: surface of one bone fits the complementary surface of another. |
