Lab # 5 Appendicular Skeleton, and Joints
TYPES OF JOINTS (Martini, pages 267-268) 1- Synarthrotic (fibrous) They are non-movable. They have no joint cavity or capsule. Articulating bones are held together by fibrous tissue. Ex: sutures and syndesmoses 2- Amphiarthrotic (cartilaginous) They are slightly movable. They have no joint cavity or capsule. Bones are held together by cartilage and ligaments. Ex: Symphyses pubis 3- Diarthrotic or Synovial They are freely movable. Articulating bones are covering by a thin layer of articulating cartilage. The bones are joined by a fibrous capsule lined by a synovial membrane, and by ligaments
