fibrous
classify these joints to the correct structural classification: sutures, syndesmoses, and gomphoses.

diathroses
a freely movable joint is classified as this:
amphiarthrosis
a joint that allows only a small amount of movement
pronation
a rotational movement that occurs at the at the proximal radioulnar joint of the forearm
suture
a synarthrosis that forms between adjacent bones of the skull
bursa
a synovial fluid-filled structure lined with synovial membrane on its inner surface
synchondrosis
an example of an epiphyseal plate is...
epiphyseal plate
cartilaginour joints found only in young, growing people
uniaxial joint
classify the elbow, which acts like a hinge and allows motion in only one perpendicular plane.
synovial joint
contains articular but not epiphyseal plate cartilage as a main component
suture
fibrous joint is found between bones of the cranium
angular movements
flexion and extension are types of what?
diathrosis
free movable joint
diathrosis

elbow, knee, and interphalangeal joints of the fingers and toes
locations of hinge joints
syndesmoses
most movable fibrous joints is...
abduction
movement of a body part away from the midline
tendon sheaths
protect long tendons as they course over and around synovial joints
tendon
structure that connects muscle to bone
hyaline cartilage; fibrocartilage
synchondrosis unite bones with ____ while symphyses unites one with ___.
