What type of joints are the lateral intervertebral joints?
Between articular processes; it is a synovial joint. Plane type. Between the adjacent vertebral bodies; There is also a cartilaginous joint between the adjoining vertebrae. More specifically, it is of symphyses kind because of the fibrocartilage in the intervertebral discs and healing cartilage superiorly and inferiorly abudding it.
What is articular facet disease?
An articular facet is a surface at which two anatomical structures, usually bones, meet.
What is the differences between the synarthrosis joint and amphiarthrosis joint?
Synarthrosis joints are immovable joints connected by tough, fibrous connective tissue, whereas Amphiarthrosis Joints are partially movable joints with cartilage between their articular surfaces.
What is smooth cartilage that surrounds the surface of bones at joints?
articular cartilage
What is the joint in your neck called?
The joints in the back are called facet joints. Each vertebra has two sets of facet joints. One pair faces upward (superior articular facet) and one downward (inferior articular facet). There is one joint on each side (right and left). Facet joints are hinge-like and link vertebrae together. They are located at the back of the spine (posterior).

What is the medical term meaning the joints between adjacent vertebrae?
The facet joints are the joints between adjacent vertebrae.
Why is an intervertebral disc not present between C1 and C2?
yes. the atlas and axis, or C1 and C2, do not have an intervertebral disc, nor an intervertebral foramen, between them. C1 looks like an oval. it has two lateral masses (no vertebral body) where it makes contact with the occiput and C2. the inferior articular facets of the C1 and the superior articular facets of C2 form 2 joints, one on each side. there is also a third joint formed by the dens, or odontoid process, of C2 and the interior of the anterior arch of C1. this is the joint you use to shake your head "no".
What does the word Articular mean?
Anything that relates to the joints is articular.
Where are the apophyseal joints located?
The apophyseal joints are synovial joints in the vertebral column, between the superior or cranial articular process of one vertebra and the inferior or caudal articular process of the vertebra directly above it. See the link below:
What is the function of the articular capsul?
The articular capsules are found in joints. They contain liquid which lubricates the joints (synovial fluid).
What is the function of articular system?
The articular capsules are found in joints. They contain liquid which lubricates the joints (synovial fluid).
Does Articular cartilage increase friction between bones?
Cartilage in joints REDUCE friction.
Examples of moveable joints?
pubic symphysis and the intervertebral joints
What is articular facet disease?
An articular facet is a surface at which two anatomical structures, usually bones, meet.
What provides the flexability to the vertebral column?
There are cartilaginous joints between the vertebrae composed of the intervertebral disc
What are Vertebrae held together by?
The anterior intervertebral joints are secondary cartilaginous joints (symphysis) which are designed for strength and weight bearing.
