Summary Introduction
Introduction: The skeletal system is composed of bones, cartilage, and connective tissues such as ligaments and tendons. Bones are covered by two-layer solid membranes known as the periosteum. The outer membrane is a dense connective tissue. The inner membrane contains osteoblasts that are mainly called the bone formers.

- Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/synjoints) to see an animation of synovial joints in action. Synovial joints are places where bones articulate with each other inside of a joint cavity. The different types of synovial joints are the ball-and-socket joint (shoulder joint), hinge joint (knee), pivot joint (atlantoaxial joint, between C1 and C2 vertebrae of the neck), condyloid joint (radiocarpal joint of the wrist), saddle joint (first carpometacarpal joint, between the trapezium carpal bone and the first metacarpal bone, at the base of the thumb), and plane joint (facet joints of vertebral column, between superior and inferior articular processes).
