| Three movement classifications of joints |
|
Definition
| Freely movable, immovable and slightly movable |

Term
| Three structural classifications of joints |
|
Definition
| synovial, fibrous and cartilaginous. |

|
Definition
| Primitive joint plate develops into fibrous tissue. Examples are the Sutures in the flat bones of the skull. By age 25 the bones fuse together and sutures disappear. |
|
|
Term
| Tibio-fibular joint. Name another example of a slight movable fibrous joint. |
|
Definition
| Distal ends of the Tibia and fibula, the short holding fibers provide for only minimal movement while holding the two long bones. Another example is between the ulna and radius. |

| In these joints a portion of the primitive joint plates become cartilaginous. |

Definition
| The two types of Cartilaginous joints |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Primary cartilaginous joint during bone growth phase (epiphyseal). Its the cartilage between the diaphyses and epiphyses. When the osstifaction takes place the the cartilage turns to bone (metaphysis) and the joint is eliminated. Permenant cartilaginous joints or costal cartilages: Between ribs and sternum (allows respiration) |

Term
|
Definition
| Secondary cartilaginous joint. Occurs between the vertebrae (intervertebral discs) and the articular of the pubic bone. Thick mess or compressed pad of fibro cartilage or tissue (hyaline cartilage). Allow for minimal movement. |

Definition
| Majority of joints in the body. Provides for a wide range of movements. Five kinds of synovial joints. |
|
|
Term
| Name the five kinds of Synovial joints |
|
Definition
1) saddle (thumb) 2) Ball and socket (hip, shoulder) 3) Hinge (elbow and knee) 4) pivot (cervical 1 and cervical 2)
5)Gliding (planar: fingers and toes) |
