Correct. Updated Fall 2024/2025.
Joints (Articulations)
where two bones meet
Structure (Anatomy) of a Joint
determines function (movement)
Range of Motion (ROM)
the amount of movement at a joint
Synarthrosis
no movement, very strong
-ex: sutures in the skull, teeth
Ampiarthrosis
little movement, strong
-ex: vertebrae
Diarthrosis
free movement, somewhat strong
-ex: synovial
stronger
The less movement the joint has the ________ it is.
weaker
The more movement the joint has the _______ it is.
Bony Structure
synostosis
Synostosis
frontal bone, epiphyseal line
Fibrous Structure
-very little to no movement
-skull (sutures)
,-gomphosis
-syndesmosis
Gomphosis
teeth articulation with the maxilla and mandible
Syndesmosis
bones connected by ligaments

Bursa
fluid filled pocket outside of joint capsule, often where tendons and ligaments rub together (pads
everything)
Fat Pads
, mass of adipose tissue, packing material
-fills empty space
Meniscus
pad of fibrocartilage that subdivided the synovial cavity
-channels synovial fluid
Ligaments
support, strength, reinforcement
-connect to bone to bone)
