What is the difference between a fibrous, cartilaginous, and a synovial joint? How are the two kinds of cartilaginous joints different from one another? What are their names, what kind of cartilage do they contain, and what is their purpose? Which two fibrous joints are found in the skull?

Almost all limb joints in the human skeleton are synovial joints, which are diarthrotic. List and explain the six features that make synovial joints distinct from the other joint types.

Which of the following statements defines synchondroses? A) Amphiarthrotic joints designed for strength and flexibility B) Cartilaginous joints where hyaline cartilage unites the ends of bones C) Interphalangeal joints D) Joints that permit angular movements Please give a brief explanation of each. thanks

Why is the shoulder joint considered the most mobile and at the same time the most unstable joint in the human body?

What does a syndesmosis joint have in common with a symphysis joint? a) Both are fibrous joints. b) Both are cartilaginous joints. c) Both are synarthrotic joints. d)Both are amphiarthrotic joints.

What functions are served by synovial fluid?

What type of joints are they? Types of joint: plane, hinge, pivot, condylar, saddle, ball and socket, fibrous, syndesmosis, synchondrosis, and symphysis. 1.  Capals 2. Scapula and the head of the humerus meet 3. Intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis 4. Metacarpal and phalanx 5 ribs and the sternum with hyaline cartilage 6. Radius and ulna 7. Sutures 8.

What are the main types of joints in the body?

Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/synjoints) to see an animation of synovial joints in action. Synovial joints are places where bones articulate with each other inside of a joint cavity. The different types of synovial joints are the ball-and-socket joint (shoulder joint), hinge joint (knee), pivot joint (atlantoaxial joint, between C1 and C2 vertebrae of the neck), condyloid joint (radiocarpal joint of the wrist), saddle joint (first carpometacarpal joint, between the trapezium carpal bone and the first metacarpal bone, at the base of the thumb), and plane joint (facet jointsof vertebral column, between superior and inferior articular processes). Which type of synovial joint allows for the widest ranges of motion?

What are the basic features of the planar joint?
