fied? humerus; flat bone: parietal bone of skull, sternum and ribs; Short
bones: carpals; Irregular bones: vertebra and hip bones. Composition:
composed of osseous tissue—smooth or spongy

How are joints classi-
fied?
11. joints combined by the Fibrous
fibrous tissue; skull
bone sutures
12. joints formed by carti- Cartilaginous

13. joints that separate Synovial
bones by fluid filled
joint cavities; all joints in
limbs (arms and legs);
14. most synovial joints tendons and ligaments
are reinforced and

15. bands of flexible tis- ligaments
sue that attach bone to

16. fibrous bands that at- tendons
tach either muscle to
bone or muscle to mus-

17. bending movement that flexion
decreases angle of joint;
