Document Summary
Site where 2 or more bones meet! They are the weakest parts of the skeleton! Ex. teeth in sockets, periodontal ligament ! Bones connected by ligaments, length of ligaments determines mobility of the joint ! Brocartilage sandwiched between hyaline cartilage, strong and exible, amphiarthrotic ! Ex. pubic symphysis, invertebral joints, general anatomy ! Inter brous layer (dense ct) and an inner synovial membrane ! In brous layer o articular cartilage, thickening of brous layer! Within the capsule, through the joint cavity ! Found in hips and knee joints ! Brocartilage that separates articular surfaces of bones and minimizes wear and tear ! Brous sacs lined with synovial membranes and contain some synovial uids (think ! pillows)! Elongated bursae that wraps around a tendon (think hot dog bun for tendon) ! Reinforcing ligaments and joint capsules that are more stretchy and loose ! Increase/ decrease between angle on 2 bones!
