Cartilaginous
The pubic symphysis is an example of which type of joint?
Cartilaginous
What holds the bones together in a fibrous joint?
Collagen fibers
Which class of joints includes sutures and gomphoses?
Fibrous
Which describes a suture?
Fibrous joint Immobile or slightly mobile
What is a joint in which a hard object, such as a tooth, is held in a bone cavity called?
Gomphosis
The classification of a joint as bony, fibrous, cartilaginous, or synovial describes which of the following?
How the bone ends are held together within the joint
What is a synchondrosis held together by?
Hyaline cartilage
Which describes the edges of a serrate suture?
Interlocking
Identify the two terms that describe a point where two bones meet.
Joint Articulation
The study of musculoskeletal movement is called
Kinesiology
What does kinesiology study?
Musculoskeletal movement
Where are sutures found?
Only in the skull
Which describes the edges of a lap (squamous) suture?
Overlapping
True or false: The anatomical name of a joint is determined by the manner in which the bone ends are connected at the joint.
Reason: Joints are typically named for the bones involved in the joint.
What are the three types of fibrous joints?
Suture Gomphosis Syndesmosis
The epiphyseal plate in a growing bone is an example of what type of joint?
Synchondrosis
What type of joint is found between the costal cartilage of rib one and the sternum?
Synchondrosis
Joints with an interosseous membrane are examples of which type of fibrous joint?
Syndesmoses Reason: A syndesmoses is a fibrous joint at which two bones are bound by relatively long collagenous fibers. The separation between the bones and length of the fibers give these joints more mobility
The fusion of the right and left mandible into a single mandible bone during fetal development is an example of the formation of what kind of joint?
Synostosis
Which of the following is produced by embryonic bones fusing seamlessly into one adult bone?
Synostosis
Which joints are synostoses?
The closure of an epiphyseal plate The joining of left and right halves of the mandible
True or false: Bony joints are formed by ossification of either fibrous or cartilaginous joints.
True
A person studying movement in the body, but focusing specifically on joint structure, function, and disease, would be studying
arthrology
Ossification of a fibrous or cartilaginous joint results in the formation of a _____ joint
bony
A synarthrosis is a joint held together by
collagen
Based on structure, the sagittal suture is what type of joint?
fibrous
What is a joint in which a hard object, such as a tooth, is held in a bone cavity called?
gomphosis
A synchondrosis is a joint held together by
hyaline cartilage.
Fibrous joints with shorter fibers between the bones are going to be ______ movable than fibrous joints with longer fibers.
less
Syndesmoses are ______ moveable than sutures or gomphoses.
more
A Blank 1Blank 1 lap , Incorrect Unavailable suture lacks overlapping edges.
plane
Synarthrotic fibrous joints between the bones of the skull are called
sutures
Intervertebral discs comprised of fibrocartilage are found within what type of joints?
symphysis
A is a type of mobile fibrous joint in which the bones are held together by a band of long collagen fibers.
syndesmosis
Two bones held together by a ligament would be an example of a
syndesmosis.
A bony, immovable joint is called a(n)
synostosis
