Anatomy and Physiology
1. syniovial joints, movement.
2. Fibrous joints are either sutures or syndesmoses. What is the difference between the two? Give examples of each type.
3. A symphysis and synchondroses are two classifications of what type of joint? What are the differences between the two classifications?
4. What allows synovial joints to be diarthrotic?
5. For the following, match the correct synovial joint to the movement it produces.
Joint Movement
a. Pivot Joint
b. Gliding Joint
c. Ball and Socket Joint
d. Condyloid Joint
e. Saddle Joint
f. Hinge Joint
1. Uniaxial movement, typically flexion or extension
2. Uniaxial rotation
3. Side-to-side and back-and-forth movement
4. Multiaxial movement
5. Concave and convex surfaces of both bones allow for biaxial movement
6. Ellipsoidal fit allows for biaxial movement
