As a group, gliding joints are the least movable of the synovial joints.
True
Ball and socket joints are multiaxial joints.
True
Closing ones mouth would be an example of the movement of elevation.
True
Condyloid (ellipsoidal) joints are biaxial joints in which one bone fits into a depression on another bone.
True
Eversion turns the sole of the foot outward.
True
Extensions of periosteum form a capsule around synovial joints.

Fontanels become sutures.
True
If you are standing up and looking straight up toward the sky, your cervical spine will be hyperextended.
True
Most symphysis are located in the midline of the body.
True
Plantar flexion of the foot can also be described as extension of the leg.
True
Sutures are found only in the skull.
True
The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments add stability to the knee joint.
True
The depth of the acetabulum gives stability to the hip joint.
True
The fibrocartilage pads between the articulating ends of bones may be called menisci.
True
The hip joint permits flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, rotation, and circumduction.
True
The only gomphoses joints in the body are found above the neck.
True
The shallowness of the glenoid cavity makes the shoulder a rather unstable joint.
True
The vertebral column contains both cartilaginous joints and synovial joints.
True
There are more synovial joints in the body than any other type of joint.
True
There are no gomphoses joints in the appendicular skeleton.
True
When a joint is in anatomical position, a goniometer should read 0.
True
When a man sticks out his jaw, he has protracted it.
True
the acetabulum is a deep, cutlike socket, where as the glenoid cavity is shallow and saucer-shaped.
True
What is a form of a multiaxial joint?
a gliding joint
What is a symphysis joint?
a joint in which are connected by fibrocartilage
What is a synchondroses joint?
joints that have hyaline cartilage at articular surfaces
The structural classification of a joint describes the type of movement the joint allows.
T or F
Twisting the forearm so that the thumb points medially is called supination
T or F
When a person is standing on their toes, dorsiflexion of the foot has occurred.
T or F
A gliding joint is a form of uniaxial joints.
False
A symphysis is a joint in which bones are connected by fibrous bands.
False
Circumduction consists of pivoting a bone on its on axis.
False
Compared with the knee joint, the hip joint is relatively unprotected by surrounding muscles.
False
Hinge joints permit adduction and abduction.
False
Hyaline cartilage is associated only with synovial joints.
False
Ligaments are associated only with synovial joints.

T or F
Some synovial joints contain a closed pillow-like structure called a
bursa
