Document Summary

Describe the joints of the axial and appendicular skeleton (cid:120) joint: junction (articulation) between two or more bones (cid:153) fibrous: (or fixed) these joints are immovable joints in which bones are held together by connective tissue. Example: between bones of the skull and between teeth and jaws (cid:153) cartilaginous: these joints allow limited movement in which bones are held together by interposed cartilage fastened to the bones by connective tissue. Example: between adjacent vertebrae, between coxal bones, ribs and sternum (cid:153) synovial: these joints are freely movable in which bones are bound together by ligaments and connective tissue forming a fluid filled joint cavity. In the joint cavity, the ends of bones are covered in articular cartilage. An outer articular capsule helps to maintain bone alignment. Elastic synovial membrane secretes and contains the lubricating synovial fluid. Describe the structure and types of synovial joints.
