  • Joint type between adjacent vertebrae with an intervertebral disc
    Amphiarthrosis, a cartilaginous joint allowing limited movement.
  • Joint classified as a synarthrosis
    A joint with no movement, such as sutures in the skull.
  • Example of a biaxial diarthrosis joint
    The elbow joint, allowing movement in two planes.
  • Functional classification of synovial joints
    May be classified as amphiarthrosis or diarthrosis, allowing various degrees of movement.
  • Fibrous joint connecting tibia and fibula
    A syndesmosis, a narrow fibrous joint.
  • Wide fibrous joint example
    A suture joint in the skull.
  • Definition of a gomphosis joint
    A fibrous joint that anchors teeth into their sockets.
  • Definition of a syndesmosis joint
    A narrow fibrous joint connecting bones like tibia and fibula.
  • Characteristic of a cartilaginous joint
    Bones connected by cartilage without a joint cavity.
  • Definition of a synchondrosis
    A joint where bones are connected by hyaline cartilage.
  • Joints joined by a symphysis
    Bones connected by fibrocartilage, e.g., the pubic symphysis.
  • Classification of the epiphyseal plate in a growing long bone
    A symphysis type cartilaginous joint.
  • Joint type with greatest range of motion
    The ball-and-socket joint.
  • Joint allowing only uniaxial movement
    The hinge joint.
  • Example of a synovial joint
    The shoulder joint.
  • Function of a bursa
    A fluid-filled sac that reduces friction where tendons cross joints.
  • Synovial membrane role
    Lines the joint cavity and produces synovial fluid.
  • Definition of a meniscus
    A fibrocartilage pad that improves fit and cushions at synovial joints.
  • Movement called when the foot moves away from the midline
    Eversion.
  • Supination motion
    Rotates the hand so the palm faces forward or upward.
  • Primary ligament supporting the glenohumeral joint
    The coracohumeral ligament.
  • True statement about the knee joint
    The posterior cruciate ligament resists hyperextension.
  • Joint allowing inversion and eversion of the foot
    The subtalar joint.
  • Vertebral region with greatest axial rotation
    The thoracic region.
  • Intramembranous ossification produces
    Bones of the face and base of the skull.
  • Endochondral ossification process
    Bone formation from a hyaline cartilage model.
  • Synovial joints are produced by
    Endochondral ossification.
  • Endochondral ossification completion time
    Usually not completed before birth.
