Example: sesamoid bones (patella (create leverage) & first metatarsophalangeal). don't articulate. provide mechanical advantage.

Diaphysis




Cortex




Periosteum

Wolff's Law


bones reshape themselves based upon the stresses placed upon them


-bone mass increases over time with increased stress

Processes that form joints


Condyle


Facet

Synarthrodial Joints


-immovable joins


Example: suture & gomphosis


Amphiarthrodial joints and their three sudivisions


-slightly movable joints


-syndesmosis, synchondrosis, symphysis



Syndesmosis


-two bones join together by a strong ligament or an interosseous (between) membrane that allows minimal movement between the bones


-bones may or may not touch


Example: coracoclavicular joint, distal tibiofibular joint

Syn/chondro/sis


^


(cartilage)

-type of joint separated by hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage that allows very slight movement between bone


Example: costochondyal joints of the ribs with the sternum
