Synovial joints are more freely moveable than fibrous or cartilaginous joints explain this observation. You may use diagrams to support your explanations.

Which of the following statements about joint types is true:   A. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints are the most mobile.   B. Synovial joints are supported by extrinsic ligaments.   C. Fibrous joints are the most common in the body.   D. Synovial joints absorb shock and are slightly movable.   E. The symphysis pubis is an example of a fibrous joint.

When a person dies, the body often experiences rigor mortis. In this condition, it is as if the muscles have become inflexible and it is very difficult to manipulate the joints. Why does this occur?

We are focusing mainly on synovial joints, because this is the main type of joint that allows you to move your body. Using the diagram below, match the synovial joint structure with its description: -Periosteum E F A G D H- F V [ Choose ] A Friction-reducing hyaline cartilage that covers bone surfaces B Cavity filled with lubricating, nourishing, and shock-absorbing fluid Bands of dense regular connective tissue that connect muscle to bone and help stabilize joints Fluid-filled pocket that reduces friction between joint structures Bands of dense regular connective tissue that connect bones Cushions of fibrous cartilage that help guide joint movement E Protective outer wrapping made of dense irregular connective tissue One of the four body membranes; produces synovial fluid F G [ Choose ] [ Choose ]

Please answer this questions in your own words:  Question1: Describe the characteristic features for fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joints and give examples of each?  Distinguish between the functional and structural classifications for joints?  Distinguish between a suture, syndesmosis, and gomphosis?

A joint stabilized by only muscles and tendons would be ________________ stabile than a joint stabilized by only fibrous connective tissue.   Select one: a. Less b. More

Which of the following joints normally becomes a synostosis? a.synovial joint only  b.symphysis only  c.suture only  d.synchondrosis only e.both suture and synchondrosis

The bones of the elbow joint include the humerus and the ulna. The humeral surface looks like a cylinder whereas the ulnar surface looks like a trough. Based on this description, the elbow joint is classified as a joint. hinge ellipsoid /condyloid. plane ball-and-socket pivot saddle

Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/anklejoint3) to learn about the ligaments of the ankle joint,ankle sprains, and treatment. During an inversion anklesprain injury, all three ligaments that resist excessiveinversion of the foot may be injured. What is the sequencein which these three ligaments are injured?

Describe the two systems for classifying joints.
