What Joint are?
A joint by definition is where two bones come together. There are different connective tissues between these two bones. Some of joints are not movable and some are very movable and somewhere in between.
What is a junction between two bones called?
A junction between two bones is called a joint. Joints allow for movement and flexibility within the skeletal system.
Does extension decrease the angle between two bones?
Flexion decreases the angle between two bones in a joint. Extension increases that angle.
Is the function of the synovial membrane?
The synovial membrane is the inner membrane of tissue that lines a joint. The synovial membrane secretes synovial fluid which serves to lubricate the joint and reduce the friction between bones in joints.

How does the fixed joint move?

What are the names of the joints between the head and neck?
The bones are called cervical bones. The joint classification is diarthrotic (freely movable). The joint between C1-C2 is considered a pivot joint.
The cavity between bones at the joint is known as what?
The cavity between bones at the joint is known as the synovial cavity. This space is filled with synovial fluid, which helps to reduce friction and facilitate smooth movement of the bones at the joint.
Joint between parietal bones is classified as what type of joint?
The joint between parietal bones is classified as a fibrous joint, specifically a type of fibrous joint called a sutural synchondrosis. This type of joint is immovable and provides stability to the skull.
What is a shortened distance between bone is called?
In normal anatomy, flexion is the movement that decreases the angle between the bones that form a joint. A pathological decrease within the joint of the distance between two bones may be termed a "loss of joint space."
What kind of joint is femur and fibula?
The femur and fibula are the names of bones. Bones are not joints; rather, joints are found where bones are connected. The joint located between the femur and fibula is called the knee joint.
