|
|
Term
| secondary cartilaginous joint |
|
Definition

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| joints w/ hyaline cartilage on articular surfaces, joint cavity lined by synovial membrane/ containing synovial fuid; produces variety of movements depending on articular surfaces |

|
|
Term
|
Definition

|
|
Term
| 3 main factors controlling joint stability |
|
Definition
1. articular surfaces (shape)
2. ligaments
3. muscle tone |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| sensory nerve supplying a joint also supplies the muscles moving the joint and the skin overlying the insertions of these muscles |
