| synarthroses | immovable joints |
| ampharthroses | slightly moveable joints |
| diarthroses | freely movable joints |
| fibrous joints | bones are joined by ibrous tissue, no joint cavity is present |
| sutures | only between the bones of the skull junctionis filled by very short connective tissue |
| syndesmoses | ibrous joints in which the bones are connected by a cord or shee of fibrous tissue |
| gomphosis | fibrous joint represented solely by the articulation of a tooth with it's bony alveolar socket |
| synchondrosis | a bar or plate of hylaine cartilage unites the bones here |
| symphyses | the articular surfaces of the bones are covered with articular cartilage whichis fused to an intervening pad of fibrocartilage |
| synovial joints | atrticulating bones are seperated by a fluid-containting joint cavity |
| articular discs/menisci | discs of fibrocartilage separating the artcular surfaces of the bones |
| Bursae | flattened fibrous sacs lined with synovial membrane and containing a thin film o synovial fluid |
| Tendon sheaths | elongated brusae that have become wrapped completely around a tendon subjected to friction |
| flexion | bending movement that decreases the angle of teh joints and brings the two articulating bones closer together |
| dorsilexion | when the foot approaches the shin |
| extension | increases teh angle between the articulating bones |
| hyperextension | bending the head back past the point of upright |
| plantar flexion | straightening the ankle |
