GCU BIO-201 Exam 3 Question and
answers verified to pass 2025
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
hinge joint - correct answer ✔Joint between bones (as at the elbow or knee)
that permits motion in only one plane
Pivot joints - correct answer ✔Pivot joints allow rotation arround an axis. The
forearms have pivot joints.
condyloid joints - correct answer ✔Oval articular surface of one bone fits into
a complementary depression in another; found in the joint at the metacarpals
and proximal phalanx.
