Pivot
Joint in which bone moves around a central axis, creating rotational movement
Articular Cartilage
Hyaline cartilage covering bone ends
Bursa
Fluid filled sac that decreases friction
Synarthrodial
Joints that lack synovial cavity and are held closely together by fibrous connective tissue
Condyloid

Tendon
Attaches muscle to the bone
Agonist
