32
what is the MCL
extra scapular ligaments from the medial epicondyle of femur to the proximal condyle of the tibia

35
where is the ACL
anterior cruciate ligament connects the femur to the tibia
36
what is the PCL
posterior cruciate ligament connects posterior tibial to lateral part of medial femoral condyle
37
where is the menisci
in the knoee
38
where are the labrum?
in shoulder and hip joints
39
what are bursae
strategically placed fluid filled sacs to cushion movement between x and bone, and reduce friction in joints
40

48
what are the pivot joints in the body
atlanto-axial joint radioulnar joints
49
what are condyloid joints
convex projection of one bone fits into an oval depression in the other
50
what time of movement do condyloid joints allow
biaxial flexion/extension and abduction/adduction
51
what are the condyloid joints of the body (2)

flexion/extension and abduction/adduction
54
what is a saddle joint in the body
1st CMC joint
55
what is a ball and socket joint?
