Connections between skeletal components separated by a narrow articular cavity.

Joints where bones are connected by fibrous connective tissue.

Joints where bones are connected by cartilage.

Skull joints linked by a thin layer of connective tissue (sutural ligament).

Tooth joints connected to adjacent bones by collagen fibers in the periodontal ligament.

Joints where two adjacent bones are linked by a ligament.

Cartilaginous joints in developing bones, like growth plates.

Joints where two bones are joined by cartilage, often mid-line.

Muscles attach to bones at specific points called origins and insertions. The origin is typically the fixed point, while the insertion moves towards the origin during muscle contraction.

During contraction, muscle fibers shorten, pulling the insertion towards the origin, causing movement at a joint.

A type of movement that decreases the angle between bones at a joint, bringing them closer together.

A type of movement that increases the angle between bones at a joint, straightening the joint.

A type of movement that moves a limb away from the midline of the body.

A type of joint with a fluid-filled space between bones, allowing for movement.

A smooth, slippery layer of cartilage that covers the ends of bones in synovial joints.

A sleeve-like structure surrounding synovial joints, composed of an outer fibrous membrane and an inner synovial membrane.

Fluid secreted by the synovial membrane that lubricates joints, reduces friction, and provides nutrients to cartilage.

Additional ligaments found in many synovial joints, providing extra support and stability.

A synovial joint allowing movement in one plane, like a door hinge, with one bone's convex surface fitting into another's concave surface.

A synovial joint where one bone rotates around another, like a door knob.

A synovial joint with a ball-like surface fitting into a cup-like socket, allowing movement in multiple planes.

Accessory ligaments located outside the articular capsule, providing extra stability.

Accessory ligaments located inside the articular capsule, providing extra support and stability.

Movement of a bone away from the midline of the body. Think moving your arm sideways.

Movement of a bone towards the midline of the body. Think bringing your arm back to your side.

Turning the anterior surface of a limb towards the midline. Think rotating your forearm so your palm faces your body.

Turning the anterior surface of a limb away from the midline. Think rotating your forearm so your palm faces away from your body.

Turning the palm of your hand posteriorly (backwards). Think about how you hold a bowl of soup.
