Synarthrodial joint.

Gomphosis
Connects muscles to bone.
Tendon
Covers the ends of opposing bones within a synovial joint. Also known as Hyaline cartilage.
Articular cartilage
Overstretching or tear of a ligament.
Sprain

Suture.
Two examples of a ball and socket joint.
Shoulder and hip joints.
The sensation the CLINICIAN perceives when PASSIVELY moving a patient's joint through the end of it's ROM.
Endfeel
Thick, clear fluid secreted by the synovial membrane providing nutrition and shock absorption to the joint.
Synovial fluid
Also known as degenerative arthritis
Osteoarthritis
What type of synovial joints are the ones in between the carpal bones that allow only gliding motions?

What are the motions of a condyloid joint like the wrist?
