Skeletal • Muscle tissue that is attached to bones and causes movement.
Hinge • These joints are found in elbows and knees.
Strain • An injury caused when a muscle is over stretched.
Gliding • These joints are found in fingers and the spine.
Appendicular • The part of your skeleton made up of your arms, legs, pelvis and shoulders.
Immoveable • This type of joint is found in the skull and is fixed.
Voluntary • These muscles can be controlled consciously
Calcium • The mineral found in bones
