QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Fibrous - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Bones joined by collagen fibers; no joint cavity.
Cartilaginous - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Bones joined by cartilage; no joint cavity.
Synovial - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Bones separated by fluid-filled joint cavity.
Synarthrosis - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Immovable joint (e.g., sutures).
Amphiarthrosis - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Slightly movable joint (e.g., intervertebral discs).
Diarthrosis - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Freely movable joint (e.g., shoulder, knee).
Suture - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Fibrous; Synarthrosis; found only in the skull.
Syndesmoses - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Fibrous; bones connected by ligaments; movement varies by
fiber length (e.g., Distal tibiofibular joint).

Synchondroses - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Cartilaginous; Hyaline cartilage (e.g., Epiphyseal plates, 1st rib
to manubrium).
Symphyses - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Cartilaginous; Fibrocartilage (e.g., Pubic symphysis, Intervertebral
discs).
Plane - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Synovial joint type; Gliding (e.g., Intercarpal joints).
, Hinge - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Synovial joint type; Flexion/Extension (e.g., Elbow, Knee).
Pivot - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Synovial joint type; Rotation (e.g., Atlas/Axis, Proximal radioulnar).
Condylar - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Synovial joint type; Oval surfaces (e.g., Knuckle/MCP joints).
Saddle - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Synovial joint type; Concave/Convex surfaces (e.g., Carpometacarpal
joint of thumb).
Ball-and-Socket - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Synovial joint type; Universal movement (e.g., Shoulder, Hip).
Flexion - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Decreasing angle.
Extension - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Increasing angle.
Abduction - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Moving away from midline.
Adduction - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Moving toward midline.
Circumduction - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Limb describes a cone in space.
Rotation - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Turning bone around its long axis.
Supination - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Radius rotates over ulna (Palm up).
Pronation - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Radius rotates over ulna (Palm down).
Dorsiflexion - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Toes up.
