which is lubricated by the synovial fluid. This fluid overcomes any friction between solid surfaces in contact with each other. The lubricant is secreted by the synovial membrane which lines the joint capsule. Tough fibrous capsular tissue forms the joint capsule. Joints are made st..

Joints are the place of articulation between two or more bones or between a bone and a cartilage. Because of the presence of a number of joints the movement of different parts of body and the whole body is possible. Joints are classified into three major types (fig 5.8). (a) Immovable joints (..

Every voluntary movement takes place at the joint Joint is an articulation of two or more bones whether there is movement between them or not. The joints bring about flexibility in rigid skeleton and are helpful in bringing about die movements of body parts during locomotion. Joints function as fulcri in ..

). In order to facilitate maximum movement all the bones of the wrist or those of ankle have to move together. (B) Ball and socket joint: It represents a typical synovial joint. It is a type of synovial joint wherein one of thearticulating bones has its articulating end with a round head that fits into a deep concavit..

They are meeting points or points of articulation between two bones. Study of joints is called arthrology. On the basis of mobility, there are three types of jointsfibrous, cartilaginous and synovial. 1. Fibrous Joints/Immovable/Sinarthroses. They are immovable or fixed joints where mo..

These include _____ (i) Sutures, which are the lines of junctions between skull bones. In human skull, sutures are very distinct as zig-zag lines (Fig. 23.43) in which the serrated margins of articulating bones are interlocked and held together by means of a thin layer of fibrous tissue. (ii) Gomphoses in which a bony..

1. Describe the cartilaginous joint. 2. Explain a typical synovial joint. Describe any three types of the same. 3. With two examples describe types of antagonistic muscles and their working. 4. Define and explain the term locomotion. 5. Describe the formation of Fibrous joint. 6..

1. The tissue found in fibrous joints is : (a) Ligament (b) Tendon (c) Cartilage (d) Synovial fluid 2. Fibrous joint is also called as: (a) Syndesmosis (b) Amphiarthrosis (c) Diarthrosis (d) Synarthrosis 3. Find the odd pair of antagonistic muscles. (a) Flexor-Extensor..
