Synovial Joint

Back 1

Surrounded by a synovial joint capsule which secretes synovial fluid to lubricate and nourish the joint

Front 2

Hyaline Cartilage

Back 2

What the ends of the joints are covered with to reduce friction during movement

Front 3

Ball and Socket

Back 3

Ball shaped end of a bone that fits into a cup shaped socket. Provides a wide range of motion

Front 4

Saddle

Back 4

Occurs when the touching surfaces of two bones, which both concave and convex regions complementing each other. Wide range of motion (thumb)

Front 5

Gliding Joint

Back 5

Flat or slightly flat surfaces moving against each other which allows sliding movement or twisting without any circular movement ( Carpal Bones)

Front 6

Hinge Joint

Back 6

Convex projection on one bone fits into concave depression in another which allows for flexion and extension

Front 7

Pivot

Back 7

A rounded or conical surface of one bone fits into a range of another bone, allowing for rotation

(Head)

Where axis and atlas come together

Front 8

Condyloid

Back 8

Oval shaped surface that fits into an ellipsoidal cavity Of another allowing for angular motion ( where metacarpals and phalanges meet)

Front 9

Diarthrosis

Back 9

Freely moveable

Front 10

Synarthrosis

Back 10

Immovable
