Bursae are extensions of the joint cavity lined with synovial membrane and filled with synovial fluid. They provide a cushion and reduce friction where ligament and tendons rub against other tissues.
_________ are long bursae wrapped around a tendon where it crosses a _________.
Tendon sheaths are long bursae wrapped around a tendon where it crosses a bone surface.
There are six structural types of synovial joints. Synovial joints are also described based on the degree and types of movement allowed. A ________ joint allows movement along one axis only; a _________ joint allows movement along two axes and a _________joint allows movement along several axes.
There are six structural types of synovial joints. Synovial joints are also described based on the degree and types of movement allowed. A uniaxial joint allows movement along one axis only; a biaxial joint allows movement along two axes and a multiaxial joint allows movement along several axes.

Hinge joints allow angular motion along one axis (uniaxial). Examples are elbow and knee.
_____and __________ joints: round head of one bone fits into cup-shaped depression in another. This allows all combinations of __________ and _________ movements (multiaxial). Examples are _____and _____ joint.
Ball and socket joints: round head of one bone fits into cup-shaped depression in another. This allows all combinations of angular and rotational movements (multiaxial). Examples are hip joint and shoulder joint.
