53
Metatarsal
After the tarsus
54
Arthrology
Study of joints
55
Synarthroses
Allow no movement
56
Amphiarthroses
Allows slight movement
57
Diaryhroses
Freely permit movement
58
Fibrous
That is synarthroses
59
Cartilaginous
That is amphiarthroses
60
Synovial
That is diarthroses
61
Joint capsule
Forms a covering around the articulating ends of the bones, holding them to each other
62
Synovial membrane
Lines the joint capsule and secretes synovial fluid, lubricating opposing surfaces of the bones
63
Joint cavity
Space between the opposing surfaces of bones of the joint
64
Articular cartilage
Thin covering of cartilage that cushions the articulating bone surfaces
65
Ligaments
Cords of white, dense, fibrous tissue that help to bind the bones together
66
Articular disks
Pads of cartilage between articulating surfaces in some synovial joints
67
Hinge joints
Those that permit movement in only one direction, as in the elbow
68
Ball and socket joints
The round head of one bone fits into a cup like cavity of another, permitting movement in different directions, as in the hip
69
Gliding joints
The least moveable. Which the adjacent bone surfaces glide against each other to permit movement, such as the carpus
70
Pivot (rotary) joint
One bone pivots around a stationary bone, such as the axis and atlas
71
Condyloid joints
The oval head of one bone fits into a shallow depression in another, such as the stifle joint
72
Flexion
Bending at the joint, such as the elbow
73
Extensions
Straightening or unbending of a joint, this movement is the opposite of flexion
74
Abduction
Movement that draws a body part away from the midline of the body
75
Addiction
Movement that draws a body part toward the midline of the body
76
Rotation
Movement that turns a body part on its own axis, such as the turning of the head
77
Circumduction
A movement describing a circle
78
Canal
Tunnel
79
Condyle

84
Head
Rounded projection (head of the bone)
85
Meatus
Opening or passage (ears)
86
Line
Low ridge
87
Process
Any projection
| Ex: spine of the scapula
88
