synovial joints - ✔✔ANS freely movable joints ex: hip, knee, shoulder
cartilaginous joints - ✔✔ANS allow only slight movement and consist of bones connected entirely b
cartilage
synchondrosis joint - ✔✔ANS Bones are joined by Hyaline cartilage only ex: Epiphyseal plate
symphysis - ✔✔ANS two bones joined by fibrocartilage ex: Pubic symphysis
suture joint - ✔✔ANS immovable joint, such as between the bones of the skull
syndesmoses joint - ✔✔ANS More dense fibrous CT than a suture ex: Gomphosis
interosseous joint - ✔✔ANS sheet of dense fibrous connective tissue Ex: between radius and ulna
syntharoses joints - ✔✔ANS Allows no movement ex: Suture, gomphosis
Amphiarthroses - ✔✔ANS slightly movable joint
,ex. pubic symphysis, intervertebral discs
Diarthroses - ✔✔ANS freely movable joint ex: hip, knee, shoulder, elbow
epiphyseal cartilage - ✔✔ANS The cartilaginous region between the epiphysis and diaphysis of a growin
bone ex: growth plate
bursa - ✔✔ANS fluid-filled sac that allows for easy movement of one part of a joint over another
tendon sheath - ✔✔ANS an elongated bursa that wraps completely around a tendon subjected to friction
gliding joint - ✔✔ANS allows one bone to slide over another; found in wrist and ankles

another bone and partly by a ligament
Factors Affecting Contact and Range
of Motion at Synovial Joints - ✔✔ANS Structure and shape of the articulating
, bones, Strength and tautness of the joint ligaments, Arrangement and tension of the muscles, Contact of so
parts, Hormones, Disuse
