2.  Function: help with bone growth, binding, allow skeleton to change shape during childbirth, allow body to respond to your muscles working  Types: fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial

3.  In between bones that are close together; connective tissue is the joint part  Movement: none or very limited  Example: sutures, tibia and fibula

4.  Made of hyaline cartilage; intervertebral disks that are shock absorbers  Movement-limited with slight flexibility  Examples: vertebrae, pubic bones, first rib of sternum

5.  Most common  Allow free movement  Structure: hyaline cartilage covers ends of the bones  Joint capsule: ligaments that surround joint  Synovial membrane- secrete fluid to lubricate  Menisci-shock absorbers  Bursae-sacs with fluid; help tendons slide over bones

6.  Ball shaped head bone fits into a cavity of another bone  Wide range of motion  Shoulder and hip

7.  Oval shaped condyle (round process) fits into an elliptical cavity  Metacarpal and phalanges  Variety of movement but no rotation

8.  Flat and curved bones slide  Wrist and ankle; certain ribs and sternum  Sliding and twisting movement

9.  Convex and concave surface fit together  Joints of phalanges, elbow  Works like a door hinge

10.  Cylinder bone surface connects with a ring of the bone or ligament  Rotate around an axis  Joint between radius and ulna (proximal ends)

11.  Convex and concave bones  Carpal and metacarpal of thumb  Variety of movements
