Term
|
Definition
| a cavity with a fluid-filled sac that secretes synovial fluid at the joint; these are mostly joints that give big motion |

Definition
| biaxial joints where both bones have an articular surface that is shaped like a saddle or Pringle chips, concave in one direction and convex in the other |
|
|
Term
