| the teeth- held firmly in the socket by fibrous ligament, which consists of collagen fibers that extend from the bone matrix of the jaw into the dental tissue. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| is a fibrous joint at which two bones are bound by relatively long collagenous fibers |
|
|
Term
| cartilaginous joint (amphiarthrosis or amphiarthrodial joint) |

|
|
Term
|
Definition

|
Term
| Synovial joint (diarthrosis or diarthrodial joint) |
|
Definition
| most familiar type of joint, there are six different kinds and some are freely movable and others have more limited mobility |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a layer of hyaline cartilage normally 2-3 mm thick that covers two adjacent bones in a synovial joint |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| narrow space between the articular cartilage surfaces of the bones that contains synovial fluid |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a slippery lubricant that nourishes the articular cartilages, removes their wastes, and makes movements at synovial joints almost friction-free |
|
|
Term
| joint- articular- capsule |
|
Definition
| a connective tissue that encloses the cavity and retains its fluid |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| outer capsule that is continuous with the periosteum of the adjoing bones and an inner synovial membrane |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| inner membrane of the joint capsule, composed mainly of fibroblast-like cells that secrete the fluid and is populated by macrophages that remove debris from the joint cavity |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| fibrocartilage that has grown inward from the joint capsule and forms a pad between the articulating joints |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| in the knee, the two cartilages that extend inward from the left to right but do not entirely cross the joint |
|
|
Term
|
Definition

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| similar to a tendon, it connects a bone to a bone |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a fibrous sac filled with synovial fluid, located between two adjacent muscles, where a tendon passes over a bone, or between bone and skin |
|
|
Term
