What is the medical term meaning depressions and hollows for bones to come together at joints?
A 'ball and socket' joint.
Animal tissue that reduces friction between bones at joints?
yes it reduces friction between bones, and also, synovial fluid reduces friction at the joints as well.
What is difference between suture and sulcus?
Suture is a fibrous connective tissue joint between two or more structures (e.g. bones in the brain). For example, there is a sagittal suture between the two parietal bones of the skull. Sulcus is the fissure on the surface of the brain which surrounds the gyri. For example, there is a central sulcus which separates the frontal and parietal lobes of the cerebral cortex.
How can scientists determine the way an organism moves by looking at its bones?
by seeing where it's joints are
Are frog bones soft?
There is no scientific evidence to prove a frog's bones are any softer than the bones from other amphibians. Frogs have solid bones and soft tissue like any other creature.
Ligaments are what?
fibrous connective tissue that holds joints together
What tissue connects bones together?
Different types of joints are held together by different tissues types:Sutures and gomphoses are held together by dense fibrous connective tissue. Synchondroses are held together by hyaline cartilage.Symphyses are held together by fibrocartilage.Diarthroses or synovial joints, the most common type of joints, are held together by ligaments and joint capsules, which are made of dense fibrous connective tissue.
What is the fibrous connective tissue the holds bones in a joint together?
Ligaments are the fibrous connective tissue that holds bones in a joint together.
What type of joints hold together the bones of the skull and sternum?
fibrous joints
Where is your immovable joint located?
Immovable joints, also known as fixed or fibrous joints, are located in the skull where the bones are tightly joined together by fibrous connective tissue. These joints provide stability and protection for the brain.
What is Types of junctions?
1. Bony Fusion- bones fused together; no movement (also called synostoses joints)2. Fibrous Joints-immovable joints (synarthroses) that have fibrous connective tissue between the articulating bones; little to no movement3. Cartilaginous Joints- cartilage between the bones4. Synovial Joints- have a joint cavity lined by a synovial membrane
How do ligaments protect joints?
A ligament is a special type of fibrous tissue that connects one bone to another bone.
Are the bones joined at the joints?
No, the ligament -a tough band of tissue- holds bones together at joints.
Joints are possible because of two kinds of tissue?
Joints may be synovial (with a cavity) or fibrous. Synovial joints are filled with synovial fluid. Fibrous joints lack this. Fibrous joints are found in between the vertebrae. Cartilage in is both joints. This can be hylaine or fibrocartilage. Both regenerate. The synovial fluid is rather slippery and allows easy movement in those joints. If this joint is suddenly and rapidly pulled, the fluid doesn't fill quickly and a "snapping" sound is heard.
What type of joint is held together by connective tissue strands?
Fibrous joints are connected by collagen fibers. There are three types of fibrous joints in the human body: sutures between the skull bones, syndesmoses (distal articulation of tibia and fibula) and gomphoses (articulations of teeth in jaw bones). The only gomphoses in the human body are the attachment of the roots of the teeth in the sockets of the alveolar processes of the lower-jaw (mandible) and upper-jaw (maxillae).
What are Strong bands of elastic tissue that connect the bones in a joint called?
Definition of ligament: A sheet or band of tough, fibrous tissue connecting bones or cartilages at a joint or supporting an organ
Where can a ligament be found?
Ligaments are located at most of the joints. They keep the joints together.
