Periosteum
a double layered connective tissue that covers and nourishes the bone
Diaphysis
elongated shaft of a long bone
Epiphysis
the end of a long bone, attached to the shaft
Epiphyseal Plate
plate of hyaline cartilage at the junction of the diaphysis and the epiphysis that provides for growth in length of a long bone
Articular Cartilage
hyaline cartilage covering bone ends at movable joints
Meniscus
a crescent shaped, cartilaginous band between the medial tibial and medial femoral condyle knee
Joint Cavity
the space between two connecting bones filled with synovial fluid
Synovial Fluid
fluid secreted by the synovial membrane that lubricates joint surfaces and nourishes articular cartilages
Fibrous Joints
bones joined by collagen fibers of connective tissue
ex: sutures, syndesmoses, and gomphoses
Sutures
found only between bones of skull
Syndesmoses
junction of bones held together by ligaments
Gomphoses
tooth attached to socket with periodontal ligament
Cartilaginous Joints
bones joined by cartilage
ex: synchondroses and symphyses
Synchondroses
joints of hyaline cartilage between the shaft and the epiphyseal plates of growing long bones
Symphyses
bones are joined by fibrocartilage
Synovial Joints
articulating bones are separated by a fluid filled cavity - most joints classified this way
ex: plane, condylar, ball and socket, hinge, saddle, and pivot
Synarthroses
immovable joints
Amphiarthroses
slightly movable joints
Diarthroses
freely movable joints (synovial joints)
Temporomandibular Joint
temporal bone and mandible
Sternoclavicular Joint
sternum and clavicle
Humeroscapular or Glenohumeral Joint
humerus and scapula or glenoid cavity and humerus
Elbow Joint
humerus and ulna
Metacarpophalangeal Joints
metacarpals and phalanges
Interphalangeal Joint
the phalanges
Coxal Joint
the ox coxa and the femur
Tibiofemoral Joint
the tibia and the femur
Talocrural Joint
the tibia, femur, and talus
