Flashcards
Synovial fluid producer
Synovial fluid producer
The synovial membrane produces synovial fluid, which lubricates and cushions joints.
Saddle joint movement
Saddle joint movement
A saddle joint allows movement in two perpendicular axes, like a saddle fits a horse.
Hinge joint movement
Hinge joint movement
A hinge joint permits movement in only one axis, like a door hinge.
