Joints
bones ossified together
Bony joints
joint of bone
Synostosis
a junction between frontal and parietal bones
Coronal Suture
Connect muscle to bone
Tendons
elongated bursae around tendons
Tendon sheaths
bones held together by dense regular connective tissue (collagenous fibers)
Fibrous joints
joint that allows no movement
Synarthrosis
a junction between occipital and parietal bones
Lambdoid suture
Connect one to bone to another bone
Ligaments
are chunks of fibrocartilage that do not cross the joint capsule
Menisci
bones joined by cartilage
Cartilaginous joints
joint that allows slight movement
Amphiarthrosis
a junction between parietal bones
Sagittal suture
Most structurally complex; most likely to develop dysfunctions
Synovial joints
Synovial joints would all have?
A joint capsule
a joint cavity
Synovial fluid
Articular Cartilage
bones separated by fluid-filled cavity
Synovial joints
a freely movable joint
Diarthrosis
a junction between temporal and parietal bones
Squamous suture
a physical space separating the two articulating bones filled with synovial fluid
Joint cavity
An immovable joint
Synostosis
synovial fluid-filled sacs outside most synovial joints; where ligaments, muscles, tendons, bones rub
Bursae
