GCU BIO-201 Exam 3 Test Questions and Answers Graded A+
immovable joints, found in places such as the sutures of
synarthroses
the skull
Amphiarthrosis slightly movable joint in places like the innervertebral discs
diarthroses freely movable joints, found in places such as the shoulder
freely movable joints that connect bones with a sack of
synovial joints
fluid to prevent rubbing and breakdown of bone
bones united by hyaline cartilage (cartilaginous joints);
synchondroses are NOT freely moveable; in places such as the epiphyseal
line
limited movement of joints due to the covering of articular
symphysis surface of joints with hyaline cartilage. ex. pubis symphysis
in os coxa
consists of inflexible layers of dense connective tissue,
fibrous joints
holds the bones tightly together (3 Types)
Suture Joints fuse bones together, such as in the skull
bones connected to ligaments, such as the ligaments that
Syndesmosomes
connect the radius and ulna
peg-in-socket fibrous joint, such as teeth in the alveolar
Gomphoses
socket
Pads of cartilage that lie between the articular surfaces of
Menisci
the bones, especially between the knee and mandible
flattened fibrous sacs lined with synovial membrane and
Bursae
containing a thin film of synovial fluid
Elongated bursa wrapped completely around tendon
Tendon Sheaths
subjected to friction
Flat articular surfaces, bones slide over each other
Usually biaxial joints

Examples: between carpal bones of wrist; between tarsal
Plane/Gliding joints bones of ankle; also between articular processes of verte-
brae
Joint between bones (as at the elbow or knee) that permits
hinge joint
motion in only one plane
Pivot joints allow rotation arround an axis. The forearms
Pivot joints
have pivot joints.
Oval articular surface of one bone fits into a comple-
condyloid joints mentary depression in another; found in the joint at the
metacarpals and proximal phalanx.
Only one pair exists and is between the thumb and wrist;
saddle joints
biaxial
ball and socket joint shoulder and hip; multiaxial joints
the proximal end of bone where a muscle attaches. It
origin bone
cannot move.
The fulcrum is positioned between the ettort and resis-
tance
first class lever
the load is between the fulcrum and the ettort
second class lever
third class lever the input force is between the fulcrum and the load
