Synarthrotic joints - Answer-immovable
Amphiarthrotic joints - Answer-slightly movable
Diarthrotic joints - Answer-freely movable
Fibrous joints - Answer-held together by dense connective tissue
• Syndesmosis (Between tibia and fibula): Amphiarthrotic
• Suture (between flat bones of skull): Synarthrotic
• Gomphosis (Root of a tooth in maxilla or mandible):Synarthrotic
Cartilaginous joints - Answer-Held together by cartilage
• Synchondrosis (epiphyseal plate, costal cartilages): Synarthrotic
• Symphysis (in between the pelvic bones, in between intervertebral discs): Amphiarthrotic
Synovial joints - Answer-Have a complex structure (all are diarthrotic)
• Ball-and-Socket Joint: Multiaxial, plus rotation (hip, shoulder)
• Condylar Joint: Biaxial movement, no rotation (between metacarpals and phalanges)
, • Plane Joint: Back-and-forth and twisting; Non-axial movement (Wrist and ankle joints)
• Hinge Joint: Uniaxial movement; (elbow)
• Pivot Joint: Uniaxial movement; Rotation only ) Atlas (C1) and dens of axis (C2)
• Saddle Joint: Biaxial movement; Carpal and metacarpal of thumb
Meniscus - Answer-It's a piece of cartilage in your knee that cushions and stabilizes the joint. It protects
the bones from wear and tear
Bursa - Answer-a tiny, slippery sac of fluid that provides a cushion and reduces friction between the
surfaces of a bone and tissue.
Smooth muscle - Answer-non-striated; involuntary
Skeletal muscle - Answer-striated; voluntary
Cardiac - Answer-striated; involuntary
Fascia - Answer-Thin covering of connective tissue around a muscle
Tendon - Answer-Cord-like mass of connective tissue that connects muscle to a bone
Epimysium - Answer-surrounds whole muscle; lies beneath fascia
Perimysium - Answer-surrounds fascicles within a muscle
Endomysium - Answer-surrounds muscle fibers (cells) within a fascicle
