Question
Answer
Articulations   Functional joints between bones. they bind parts of the skeletal system and make possible bone growth.  
🗑
Fibrous Joints   Dense connective tissues composd mainly of dense connective tissues.  
🗑
Syndesmosis (fibrous)   Bones bound by long fibers of connective tissue that form an interosseous ligament.  
🗑
Suture (fibrous)   between flat bones of the skull.  
🗑
Gomphosis (fibrous)   joint formed by union of a cone-shaped bony process in a bony socket.  
🗑
Cartilaginous Joints   Joints whose bones are connected by hyaline or fibrocartilage.  
🗑
Synchondrosis (cartilaginous)   Band of Hyaline cartilage unite the bones.  
🗑
Synovial Joints   Comprise most joints of the skeletal system. they allow for free movement are are diathrotic.  
🗑
Articular Carilage (Synovial)   Resists wear and minimizes friction when it is compressed as the joint moves.  
🗑
Joint Capsule (synovial)   Has two distinct layers that hold together the bones of the synovial joint.  
🗑
Ligaments   Bundles of strong, tough collagenous fibers.  
🗑
Synovial Membrane   Covers all surfaces within joint capsule, except areas covered by articular cartilage.  
🗑
Menisci   Disks of fibrocartilage divided by synovial joints.  
🗑
Bursae   Fluid filled sacs associated with certain synovial joints.  
🗑
Ball-and-socket Joint   Boen with a globular or slightly egg-shaped head that articualtes with the cup-shaped cavity of another bone.  
🗑
Condyloid Joint   Ovoid condyle of one bone fits into the elliptical cavity of another bone.  
🗑
Gliding Joints   nearly flat or slightly curved. allow sliding or back and fourth motion and twisting movements.  
🗑
Hinge Joint   convex surface of one bone fits into the concave surface of another.  
🗑
Pivot Joint   Cylindrical surface of one bone rotates Within a ring formed of bone and fibrous tissue of ligament.  
🗑
Saddle Joint   Forms between bones whose articulating surfaces have both concave and conves regions.  
🗑
Flexion   Bending parts at a joint so angle between them decreases and parts come closer together.  
🗑
Extension   Straightens joint so angle bewteen increases and they move farther apart.  
🗑
Hyperextension   Excess extension of the parts at a joint, beyond anatomical position.  
🗑
Dorsiflexion   Bending foot at ankle toward shin.  
🗑
Plantar Flexion   Bending foot at ankle otawrd sole.  
🗑
Abduction   Moving part away from the midline.  
🗑
Adduction   Moving a part toward midline.  
🗑
Rotation   Moving part around an axis.  
🗑
Circumduction   Moving a part so its end follows a circular path  
🗑
Supination   Turning hand so palm is upward or facing facing anteriorly.  
🗑
Pronation   Turning hand so the palm is downward or facing posteriorly.  
🗑
Eversion   Turning foot so the sole faces laterally.  
🗑
Inversion   Turning foot so sole faces medially.  
🗑
protraction   Moving a part forward.  
🗑
Retraction   Moving a part backward.  
🗑
Elevation   Raising a part.  
🗑
Depression   Lowering a part.  
🗑
