Fibrous joints, allows little or no movement
Fibrous and cartilaginous joints do not have cavities
Elevation is the synovial joint movement that raises the mandible. It is typically carried out by the temporalis and masseter muscles.
Synovial joints allow for movement between the articulating bones (in this case the sternum and the clavicle). The articulating bones are covered in articular cartilage, which are connected with ligaments and lined with a synovial membrane. There is a fluid-filled sac between these types of joints to reduce the amount of friction with movement and the fluid inside of these sacs is called synovial fluid.
Synovial joints are all freely movable or diarthrotic. These joints have a synovial cavity filled with synovial fluid that allows for smooth movement between the bones. Examples include the knee, elbow, and shoulder joints.
No, the articulating ends of bones in a synovial joint are not covered by a synovial membrane. Instead, they are covered by articular cartilage, which provides a smooth surface for movement and helps absorb shock. The synovial membrane lines the joint capsule and produces synovial fluid, which lubricates the joint and nourishes the cartilage.
This joint allows movement in many planes.
Joint fluid analysis, also called synovial fluid analysis
Yes, the hip joint is an example of a synovial joint. Synovial joints are characterized by the presence of a joint cavity, synovial fluid, and a joint capsule that allows for smooth movement between bones, which is true for the hip joint.
No. An amphiarthrodial joint is a cartilaginous joint that allows minimal movement in a lot of different planes. The ball-in-socket joint is a triaxial synovial joint that allows movement in all three planes around all three axis.
Fibrous and cartilaginous joints do not have cavities
A synovial joint contains a fluid-filled joint cavity enclosed by an articular capsule. Some of them are enforced by ligaments. Synovial joints are freely movable and examples include the elbow joint and wrist joint.

A fibrous joint cannot also be a synovial joint. Fibrous joints, such as sutures and syndesmoses, are united by fibrous tissue and lack a synovial cavity filled with synovial fluid for joint movement. Synovial joints, on the other hand, have a synovial cavity and are surrounded by a joint capsule.
Synovial joints are all freely movable or diarthrotic. These joints have a synovial cavity filled with synovial fluid that allows for smooth movement between the bones. Examples include the knee, elbow, and shoulder joints.
The largest saddle variety of synovial joint in the human body is the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb. This joint allows for a wide range of movements, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and opposition.
No, the articulating ends of bones in a synovial joint are not covered by a synovial membrane. Instead, they are covered by articular cartilage, which provides a smooth surface for movement and helps absorb shock. The synovial membrane lines the joint capsule and produces synovial fluid, which lubricates the joint and nourishes the cartilage.
