🗑
show shape of bones making up the joint or due to soft tissue features  
🗑
joints contain   show
🗑
show thin layer of fibrous periosteum between the two bones  
🗑
synarthrosis   show
🗑

🗑
show bolting together, joint occurs between a tooth and the wall of its dental socket  
🗑
cartilaginous joint   show
🗑
synovial joint   show
🗑
show mvmt tends to be linear instead of angular, surface is flat and glide over one another. mvmt occurs secondarily to other motion. example are carpal bones  
🗑
show angular motion occurring in one plane around one axis like a hinge. only motions possible are flexion and extension.  
🗑
show saddle joint. occurs in two different directions. found in the wrist where flexion and extension occur around the frontal axis, an radial and ulnar deviation occur around the sagittal axis  
🗑
show multi directional joint, motion occurs in all three axes. ball and socket joint. allow motion in the frontal axis, sagittal axis, and vertical axis  
🗑
ligaments   show
🗑
show outer layer is fibrous tissue, provides support and protection, the inner layer is synovial membrane that secretes synovial fluid  
🗑
synovial fluid   show
🗑
