Describe synarthrosis
No movement between articulating bones
describe amphiarthrosis
Small amount of movement between articulating bones
describe diarthrosis
Freely, movable, allowing wide variety of specific movements
describe fibrous joints
Fasten together without joint space between articulating bones
what kind of movement do fibrous joints allow?
Synarthrosis or amphiarthrosis
describe cartilaginous joints
Fasten together with cartilage without joint space
what kind of movement do cartilaginous joints allow
Synarthrosis or amphiarthoses
describes synovial joints
Joint space is fluid filled cavity between articulating bones
what are the three subclasses of fiber joints?
Suture, gomphosis, and syndesmosis 
describe a suture
And immovable joint between edges of bones
describe gomphosis
immovable joint between each tooth and bone socket and jaw 
describe syndesmosis
Joint between tibia, fibula, Ona and radius, and allows for small amount of movement
what are the two sub classes of cartilaginous joint?
Synchondrosis and symphyses
Where can you find synchondrosis
in the ribs and in the epiphyseal plate of long bones
where can you find symphyses
in the intervertebral joints and pubic symphyses
what are some features of a synovial joint?
A layer of hyaline cartilage, synovial fluid, ligaments, tendons, bursa, and tendon sheaths
what are the possible joint configurations and synovial joints
nonaxial joints, Uniaxial joints, biaxial joints and multiaxial (triaxiel) joints 
describe a non-axial joint
Allow motion in one or more planes without moving around axis
describe a uniaxial joint
Allows motion around only one axis
describe a biaxial joint 
allows motion around two axis
describe a multiaxial (triaxiel) joint
Allows motion around three axis
describe a gliding movement
When two bones slide on one another surfaces
describe an angular movement
Increases or decreases angle between articulating bones
describe flexion
Bringing your hand towards your body, as if you were flexing
