Definition
  • Joints with no space; bones are joined by cartilage
  • joints between vertebrae
Term
Synovial
Definition
  • Joints with a space
  • separating the end of the bones

Term
Amphiarthrosis
Definition

Suture
Definition
  • tightest of all joints
  • join bones of the cranium
  • consist of a thin layer of very dense fibrous tissue, which allows no motion
  • bring added stability and strenth to union
  • all are synarthroses
Term
Ligament
Definition
  • thick band of fibrous tissue extending from one bone to another at a joing
Term
Synovial membrane
Definition
  • folded many times to increase surface area
Term
Tendon
Definition
  • dense bands of fibrous connective tissue, sometimes quite long, which attach the ends of muscles to bone and slide back and forth between tissues as movements occur
Term
Bursa
Definition
small, thin-walled fibrous sacs, somewhat like collapsed balloons, that contain a small amount of synovial fliud
Term
Gliding
Definition

movement of one flat surface over another

can be in any direction

usually over a short distance

Term
Rotation
Definition

revolving of a bone about its long acis

shaking your head no

Term
Flexion
Definition

angular movement that decreases the joint angle

folding thigh upwards

Term
Extension
Definition
increases joint angle
Term
Abduction
Definition

movement of bone away from the midline of the body

abducted from the body

Term
Adduction
Definition
movement of bone towards the midline
Term
Circumduction
Definition
circular movement of the end of the bone
Term
Pronation

soup please

Term
Pivot
Definition

formed where rounded or pointed end of a bone fits into a sleeve formed by bone and ligament

elbow

Term
Gliding joint
Definition

flat joint that allows a sliding motion, in any direction, no rotation occurs

joints between wrist bones

Term
Saddle
Definition

formed by a saddle-shaped depression in one bone that fits into the saddle-shaped depression of a second bone

between wrist and thumb

Term
Hinge
Definition

formed where the cylindrical surface of the bone fits into a matching concavity in the opposite bone

elbow and knee

each permits flexion and extension

Term
