Document Summary

Movement ranges from none to a great deal. You can look at a join and predict how stable it is and how it moves. Connective tissue stabilizes joints and limits types of movements allowed. Contraction of muscles can causes bones to move. Joints minimize friction, facilitate correct movements, provide protection. Name of bones: ex: gleohumeral, coxae-femur. Type of joint (movement, type of connective tissue: flexion or fibrous. Differences type of connective tissue, fluid filled space. Different types depending on shape of bones as they come together. Only in the skull look like seems. Syndesmosis slightly moveable less dense connective tissue found between the limb bones interosseous membrane (btw bones) ligaments btw bone, bones far apart. Example: temporal and hyoid bone connects bones kind of long way gomphosis. Binds teeth to the maxilla and mandible. More mobile than suture and syndesmosis your teeth move when you chew think christmas lights.
