Different groups of tissues that function together
Aggregates
Surrounds internal organs
Fascia
connects bones to bones
Ligaments
connects bones to muscles
Tendons
Union of bones with other bones, or cartilage with other cartilage
Joint
Classification of joints that permits maximum mobility
Diarthrodial
Classification of joints that permit limited movement
Amphiarthrodial
Classification of joints that permit no movement
Synarthrodial
Joints that are connected by fibrous tissue
Fibrous joints
What functional classification do fibrous joints have?
Synarthrodial
Joints in which cartilage serves to connect two bones
Cartilaginous joints
What functional classification do cartilaginous joints have?
Amphiarthrodial
Type of joint that has encapsulated fluid as a cushion
Synovial
What functional classification do synovial joints have?
Diarthrodial
Joints that are bound by fibrous ligaments but have little movement
Syndesmosis
Joints between bones of the skull that are not intended to move at all
Suture
Joint that includes a hole-and-peg arrangement
Gomphosis
Type of cartilaginous joint found between pubic bones
Symphysis
Joints with mating surfaces that are predominantly flat
Plane synovial joint
Shallow ball and socket joint with limited mobility
Condylar joint
Joint consisting of a process and fossa, allows rotation only
Pivot joint
Ball and socket joint which concave member rests on an elongated convex member
Saddle joint
Joint that acts like a hinge, permits flexion and extension only
Hinge joint
The point of attachment of a muscle that is relatively immobile during contraction
