GCU BIO-201 Exam 3 Questions With
Correct Answers
synarthroses - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-immovable joints, found in places such as
| | | | | | | | | |
the sutures of the skull
| | | |
Amphiarthrosis - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-slightly movable joint in places like the
| | | | | | | | | |
innervertebral discs |
diarthroses - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-freely movable joints, found in places such
| | | | | | | | | |
as the shoulder
| |
synovial joints - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-freely movable joints that connect bones
| | | | | | | | | |
with a sack of fluid to prevent rubbing and breakdown of bone
| | | | | | | | | | |
synchondroses - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-bones united by hyaline cartilage
| | | | | | | |
(cartilaginous joints); are NOT freely moveable; in places such as the epiphyseal
| | | | | | | | | | | |
line
symphysis - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-limited movement of joints due to the
| | | | | | | | | |
covering of articular surface of joints with hyaline cartilage. ex. pubis symphysis in
| | | | | | | | | | | |
os coxa
| |
, fibrous joints - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-consists of inflexible layers of dense
| | | | | | | | | |
connective tissue, holds the bones tightly together (3 Types)
| | | | | | | |
Suture Joints - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-fuse bones together, such as in the skull
| | | | | | | | | | |
Syndesmosomes - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-bones connected to ligaments, such as
| | | | | | | | |
the ligaments that connect the radius and ulna
| | | | | | |
Gomphoses - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-peg-in-socket fibrous joint, such as teeth in
| | | | | | | | | |
the alveolar socket
| |
Menisci - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Pads of cartilage that lie between the articular
| | | | | | | | | | |
surfaces of the bones, especially between the knee and mandible
| | | | | | | | |
Bursae - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-flattened fibrous sacs lined with synovial
| | | | | | | | |
membrane and containing a thin film of synovial fluid
| | | | | | | |
Tendon Sheaths - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Elongated bursa wrapped completely
| | | | | | | |
around tendon subjected to friction
| | | |
Plane/Gliding joints - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Flat articular surfaces, bones slide
| | | | | | | | |
over each other
| | |
Usually biaxial joints
| |
Examples: between carpal bones of wrist; between tarsal bones of ankle; also
| | | | | | | | | | | |
between articular processes of vertebrae
| | | |
