100
The three types of fibrous joints.
What is : Sutures, Syndesmoses, and Gomphoses
100
The two types of cartiloginous joints.
What is : Synchrondroses and Symphyses.
100
The five distinguishing features of synovial joints.
What is : Articular cartilage, joint cavity, articular capsule, synovial fluid, and reinforcing ligaments.
100

The spectrum of motion allowed by synovial joints can be described by these four categories.

What is : Nonaxial movement, uniaxial movement, biaxial movement, and multiaxial movement.

100

These are the two most common types of trauma-induced joint injuries.

What is : Sprains and Dislocations.

200
Suture joints only occur here....
What is : the skull.
200
A bar or plate of cartilage uniting the bones at a synchondrosis joint.
What is : Hyaline Cartilage.
200

The six types of synovial joints.

What is : Plane, hinge, pivot, condyloid, saddle, ball and socket.

200

Three general types of movement.

What is : Gliding, Angular movements, and Rotation.

200
Arthroscopic surgery is often used to remove this when a joint is injured.
What is : Damaged cartilage or Loose bodies.
300
This is noticeably lacking in fibrous joints.
What is : A joint cavity.
300
During youth, virtually all synchondroses provide sites and means for this.
What is : Bone Growth.
300
This mechanism releases synovial fluid into and out of cartilage during normal movement.
What is : Weeping lubrication.
300

Angular movements, which occur along any plane of the body, include these five specific types of movement.

What is : Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and circumduction.

300
This condition is caused by overuse and results in inflammation of tendon sheaths.
What is : Tendonitis
400

The cord or sheet of fibrous tissue connecting bones in syndesmoses joints.

What is : A Ligament or Interosseous Membrane.

400
This acts as a shock absorber and permits limited movement at symphyses joints.
What is : Fibrocartilage.
400

These structures reduce friction between adjacent structures during movement.

What is : Bursae

400

This special type of movement can be seen when you jut out your jaw.

What is : Protraction

400
This condition is usually caused by direct injury or excessive friction, results in inflammation of the bursa, and is treated by anti-inflammatory injections.
What is : Bursitis
500
The fibrous connection between a tooth and socket gomphoses joint.
What is : Periodontal Ligament.
500
These two things happen to synchondroses joints after bone growth ends.
What is : Ossification and they become synarthrotic.
500
These factors influence the stability of synovial joints.
What is : The nature of articular surfaces; the number and positioning of ligaments; and muscle tone.
500
Chewing your food utilizes these two types of special movement.
What is : Elevation and Depression.
500
These are the three types of arthritis.
What is : Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, and Gouty arthritis
