synovial joints - ANS-freely movable joints ex: hip, knee, shoulder
cartilaginous joints - ANS-allow only slight movement and consist of bones connected
entirely by 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 growing 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
angular joint - ANS-hyper-extension, extension, flexion, lateral flexion, adduction,
abduction, and circumduction
Rotation - ANS-CIRCULAR MOVEMENT AROUND AN AXIS ex: lateral and medial
rotation
, Special Joint Movements - ANS-elevation, depression, protraction, retraction,
supination, pronation, inversion, eversion, dorsiflexion, plantar flexion
plane joint - ANS-side to side movement and back and forth
hinge joint - ANS-Joint between bones (as at the elbow or knee) that permits motion in
only one plane
pivot joint - ANS-the rounded or pointed surface of one bone articulates with a ring
formed partly by 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 soft parts, Hormones, Disuse
Mandible - ANS-lower jaw
Maxilla - ANS-upper jaw
mental foramen - ANS-
Zygomatic bone - ANS-cheek bone
squamous suture - ANS-Between parietal and temporal bones
parietal bone of skull - ANS-
Temporal bone - ANS-
Frontal Bone
(anterior view) - ANS-
scaphoid bone - ANS-
Lunate - ANS-
Triquetral - ANS-
Pisiform - ANS-
trapezium bone - ANS-
Trapezoid - ANS-
capitate carpal - ANS-
