Question: cavityAnswer: space between bone and the next bone (if none, together)
Question: cartilaginous Answer: has no join cavity and bones are joined by (i.e. intervertebral disc articulations)
Question: synovial Answer: fluid-filled joint that separates articulating surfaces of bones; surfaces are enclosed within connective tissue and bones are attached by ligaments (i.e. elbow joint)

Question: Answer: slightly joint that can be fibrous or cartilaginous (i.e. articulation between tibia and fibula
Question: diarthrosisAnswer: freely mobile joint (all synovial joints) (i.e. knee )
Question: range of motion at Answer: motion ranges from no movement to extensive , the structure of each joint determines mobility and stability, and there is an inverse relationship between mobility and stability

Question: Answer: "peg in a socket" - an articulation of teeth with sockets of mandible and maxillae (only one in the body)
Question: Answer: immobile joints - only b/w certain bones of the skull, have interlocking, usu. irregular edges (increase strength & decrease number of fractures), & permit skull to grow as brain increases in size during childhood (becomes ossified in older adult)
Question: Answer: allow for slight mobility, found b/w and ulna and tibia and fibula (bound by interosseous membrane), and provides a pivot (radius and ulna able to move against each other, tibia and fibular = separated)
Question: membraneAnswer: broad ligamentous
