Slightly Movable Joints
Amphiarthroses
Limbs and girdles
Appendicular Skeleton
Glassy hyaline cartilage covering ephyses; decreases friction
Articular Cartilage
longitudal bones; skull, rib, vertebral column
Axial Skeleton
tiny canals radiating outward from central canals to lacunae
Canaliculi
-slightly movable (amphiarthrotic) pubic symphysis; epiphyseal plates
Cartilaginous Joints
dense, smooth-looking bone;
homogeneous
Compact Bone
Shaft of long bone
diaphysis
Freely Movable joints
diarthroses
thin line of bony tissue in adult bones that looks different; remnant of plate
Epiphyseal Line
flat plate of hyaline cartiliage; causes lengthwise growth of long bones
Epiphyseal Plate
ends of long bones
epiphyses
EX: sutures of skull
syndesmoses(tibia and fibula)
Fibrous Joints
Complex consisting of central canal and matrix ring
Haversian System
(Osteon)
tiny cavities within the matrix
Lacunae

-horizontal
run into compact bone at right angles to shaft
Perforating (Volkmann's) Canals
formed by two coxal bones
bones are large & heavy
sacrum, coccyx, hip bones
Pelvic Girdle
fibrous connective tissue membrane covering diaphysis
Periosteum
formation of blood cells;
(adults) found in cavity of spony bone of flat bone and epiphyses of long bones
Red Marrow
connective tissue fibers securing periosteum to underlying bone
Sharpey's Fibers (perforating)
clavicle and scapula;
light, allows upper limb to have free movement
Shoulder Girdle
small needelike pices of bones and lots of open space
Spongy bone
immovable joints
Synarthroses
articular cartilage; fibrous articular capsule; joint cavity; reinforcing ligaments (bursae/tendon sheath)
