synarthroses - Answer✅✅immovable joints, found in places such as the sutures of
the skull

Amphiarthrosis - Answer✅✅slightly movable joint in places like the innervertebral
discs

diarthroses - Answer✅✅freely movable joints, found in places such as the shoulder

synovial joints - Answer✅✅freely movable joints that connect bones with a sack of
fluid to prevent rubbing and breakdown of bone

synchondroses - Answer✅✅bones united by hyaline cartilage (cartilaginous joints);
are NOT freely moveable; in places such as the epiphyseal line

symphysis - 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 - Answer✅✅consists of inflexible layers of dense connective tissue,
holds the bones tightly together (3 Types)

Suture Joints - Answer✅✅fuse bones together, such as in the skull

Syndesmosomes - Answer✅✅bones connected to ligaments, such as the ligaments
that connect the radius and ulna

, Gomphoses - Answer✅✅peg-in-socket fibrous joint, such as teeth in the alveolar
socket

Menisci - Answer✅✅Pads of cartilage that lie between the articular surfaces of the
bones, especially between the knee and mandible

Bursae - Answer✅✅flattened fibrous sacs lined with synovial membrane and
containing a thin film of synovial fluid

Tendon Sheaths - Answer✅✅Elongated bursa wrapped completely around tendon
subjected to friction

Plane/Gliding joints - 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 - Answer✅✅Joint between bones (as at the elbow or knee) that permits
motion in only one plane

Pivot joints - Answer✅✅Pivot joints allow rotation arround an axis. The forearms
have pivot joints.

condyloid joints - Answer✅✅Oval articular surface of one bone fits into a
complementary depression in another; found in the joint at the metacarpals and
proximal phalanx.

saddle joints - Answer✅✅Only one pair exists and is between the thumb and wrist;
biaxial

ball and socket joint - Answer✅✅shoulder and hip; multiaxial joints

origin bone - Answer✅✅the proximal end of bone where a muscle attaches. It
cannot move.

first class lever - Answer✅✅The fulcrum is positioned between the effort and
resistance

second class lever - Answer✅✅the load is between the fulcrum and the effort

third class lever - Answer✅✅the input force is between the fulcrum and the load

sprain - Answer✅✅An injury in which the ligaments holding bones together are
stretched too far and risk tearing

strain - Answer✅✅A condition resulting from damaging a muscle or tendon
