49
Amphiarthroses
Slightly moveable; cartilaginous; pubic symphysis
50
Diathroses
Freely moveable; ligaments; shoulder/hip
51
Joint capsule
Composed of dense irregular CT lined by synovial membrane; encompasses the joint cavity and synovial fluid within if
52
Ligaments
Bones of done irregular CT that join one bone to another
53
Bursae
Fluid filled structures strategically placed to minimize friction in some joints (shoulder)
54
Synovial fluid
Found in cavities of synovial joints; reduces critic ion between articular cartilage during movement
55
Menisci

Movement: oppositional movement Example: thumb
61
Ball and socket joint
Movement: most movement/range of motion Example: hip/shoulder
62
Range of motion (ROM)
Range measured in degrees of a circle through which the bones of a joint can be measured
63
What effects ROM
Structure/shape of bones:0; strength/tension of muscle/joints hormones; disuse
64
