Bones held together by cartilage are known as?
cartilaginous joints or synchondrosis joints
What is the anatomy of a movable joint?
movable joints are also known as synovial joints. These joints are characterised by the presence of a capsule b/w the articulating bones (forming joints b/w two or more bones) The ends of these bones are held close together by a sleeve of fibrous tissue and the capsule is lubricated with a small amount of fluid (the synovial fluid)
Elastic fibers that connect the ends of bones at movable joints are known as?
I think tendons mostly but it could be ligaments
Cranial bones form a firm case enclosing the brain These bones join along zigzag lines known as?
The ziz-zag lines are known as sutures and form fixed, immoveable joints over the skull.
What hold bones together?
Ligaments (also known as articular ligament, articular laura, fibrous ligament or true ligament) connect bones together. (Ligament damage is called a sprain.)
How are you at risk for arthritis?

What are the immovable joints of the cranial bones known as?
The cranial bones are fused together at immovable joints known as sutures. The skull contains 22 bones of which 21 are fused together at these joints. The only skull bone that is capable of movement is the jaw bone.
Bones held together by cartilage are known as?
cartilaginous joints or synchondrosis joints
What tough smooth surface is at the end of bones?
This is the articular cartilage that provides for cushioned and lubricated movements at joints between bones (known as synovial joints)
What is known as the white skin covering most bones?
Periosteum is the membrane that lines the outer surface of all bones, except at the joints of long bones.
What is the anatomy of a movable joint?

What type of joint is carpal-carpal?
The joints between the carpal bones in the ankles and wrists are known as Gliding Joints (a type of synovial joint). These joints work by allowing the bones to slide over each other, allowing smooth movements in multiple directions.
What bones are held together by immovable bones?
The cranial bones e.g. parietal, frontal, temporal and occipital. They are fused together by sutures which do not allow movement and are known as fixed or immovable joints
When bones join togetherthey make this?
When bones join together, they form an articulation, commonly known as a joint. These joints may have various degree of allowed movement.
What is uncinate disease?
Joints found at C3-C7 which limit lateral cervical motion. AKA joints of von Luschka.
Elastic fibers that connect the ends of bones at movable joints are known as?
I think tendons mostly but it could be ligaments
What is the synovial joint found between the carpals called?
The joints between the carpal bones in the ankles and wrists are known as Gliding Joints (a type of synovial joint). These joints work by allowing the bones to slide over each other, allowing smooth movements in multiple directions.
