Question
Chapter 9, Problem 2RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The features of synovial joints.
Introduction:
Joints are the articulations between two bones. They are classified depending on their function and structure. On the basis of their structures, they are classified into synovial joints, fibrous joints, and cartilaginous joints. They are functionally classified into synarthroses, amphiarthroses, and diarthroses.

Students have asked these similar questions
In general, the most important factor(s) determining the stability of synovial joints is (a) interlocking shapes of the articular surfaces; (b) reinforcing ligaments; (c) ligaments and muscle tone; (d) synovial fluid, which acts like glue; (e) the body’s wrapping of skin, which holds the limbs together.
The factors that influence the stability of a synovial joint include
(a) Shape of articular surfaces
(b) Presence of strong reinforcing ligaments
(c) Tone of surrounding muscles
(d) All of these
