a synarthroses ,where bones join and form a nonmovable joint


ex: skull (jagged lines that meet )

Fontanelle is

ball and socket joints , allows range of motions in many directions ex: hipand shoulder joints

Ten/o, Tend/o and Tendin/o

Bursa is

a fibrous sac that acts like a cushion to ease movement in areas of friction (ex: within the shoulder )


combining form for Bursa

burs/o


* more then one bursa is bursae

Inner lining that Bursae and synovial joints have are called

Synovial membrane

what does the synovial membrane do

secretes synovial fluid wich acts as a lubricant to make joint movement smooth

combining form for synovial membrane

synovi/o
