Term
| What are cartilagenous joints? |
|
Definition
| The bones of this joint are united by cartilage with no intervening joint cavity |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
it is an immovable joint in which the uniting medium is hayline cartilage.
ex. the union of the diaphyses and epiphyses in an immature bone |

Definition
| Most have similar general structure which includes articular surfaces, articular cartilage's, articular cavity, joint capsule and ligaments. |

Term
| What are articular surfaces? |
|
Definition
| specialized layers of compact bone on the surfaces that articulate with other bones |

|
Term
| What is articular cartilage? |
|
Definition
| A layer of hayline cartilage covering the articular surface |

|
Term
| What is the articular cavity? |
|
Definition
| Is a space between the adjacent bones of the joint surrounded by the joint capsule. It is a potential space with a very small amount of lubricating fluid. |

|
Definition
| They lie on the medial and lateral aspect of the joint |
