  • What are menisci (articular discs)?
abduction
  • Articulations permitting only slight degrees of movement are ________.

  • Which of the following refers to a joint that is slightly movable?
  • Which of these terms best categorizes the joints in the figure?
  • Which of the following best describes the joint labeled B in the figure?
hyaline cartilage connecting the two bones of the jointHyaline cartilage makes up the articular cartilage in a synovial joint, but this does not connect the two sides together.
  • Which of the following best describes the joint labeled B in the figure?
  • Which of the following joint problems is the result of an autoimmune problem?
  • Which of the following refers to a joint that is slightly movable?
  • Which of the following is NOT a distinguishing feature of a synovial joint?

flexionFlexion is a bending movement that decreases the angle of the joint and brings the articulating bones closer together.
  • Which type of movement is unique to the forearm?
  • The thumb joint indicated by D allows which of the following special movements?
  • Movement of the ankle so that the superior aspect of the foot approaches the shin is called dorsiflexion.
  • Which movement decreases the angle between articulating bones?
amphiarthroses
  • In symphysis joints the articular surfaces of the bones are covered with ________.
  • Which of the following refers to a joint that is slightly movable?
  • Moving a limb so that it describes a cone in space is called circumduction.
  • Articulations permitting only slight degrees of movement are ________.
cartilaginous jointsAll of these joints are composed primarily of cartilage.
