Seeley's Anatomy and Physiology
chapter 8
Sutural ligament - ✔️✔️The two layers of periosteum plus the dens fibrous connective
tissue in between form
Cartilaginous joints - ✔️✔️Unite two bones by means of either hyaline cartilage or
fibrocartilage
Synovial joints - ✔️✔️Contain synovial fluid and allow considerable movement between
articulating bones
Joints - ✔️✔️The bones or portions of bones that join together
Cubital joint - ✔️✔️Elbow joint
Fibrous joint - ✔️✔️Consists of two bones that are united by fibrous connective tissue,
have no joint cavity, and exhibit little or no movement
Sutures - ✔️✔️The seams between the bones of the skull
Articular cartilage - ✔️✔️A thin layer of hyaline cartilage
Articular disk - ✔️✔️A flat plate or pad of fibrocartilage
Meniscus - ✔️✔️A fibrocartilage pad found in joints such as the knee and wrist
Joint capsule - ✔️✔️Helps hold the bones together while still allowing for movement
Uniaxial - ✔️✔️Movements at synovial joints, occurring around one axis
Biaxial - ✔️✔️Movements at synovial joints, occurring around two axes situated at right
angles to each other
Multiaxial - ✔️✔️Movements at synovial joints, occurring around several axes
Plane joint - ✔️✔️Uniaxial, gliding joint, consists of two flat bone surfaces about equal
size between which a slight gliding motion can occur
