joint containing synovial fluid that allows wide range of movement.
A movable joint that consists of articulating bone ends covered by articular cartilage held together with a joint capsule and ligaments and containing synovial fluid in the joint cavity.
a joint so articulated as to move freely
a freely moving joint because there is a space between the bones forming the joint
a joint with a cavity containing synovial fluid
a movable joint, which contains synovial fluid in a closed cavity, the synovial cavity (a fiber-less tissue space)
an efficient system that allows free movement between bones, providing effective transmission of forces and minimum wear
a structure that joins two or more bones together to form a movable articulation
A type of joint which allows free movement. The joint is lined by an articular capsule and a synovial membrane.
(sihn-O-vee-awl joynt) A type of joint characterized by the presence of a membrane-lined cavity, called the synovial cavity, between opposing bones.
The most movable type of joint. The bones are covered by connective tissue, the interior of which is Þlled with synovial þuid, and the ends of the bones are covered with cartilage.
Classified as to structure, it has a joint cavity, with the ends of the bones covered by a smooth hyaline articular cartilage; the joint is lubricated and nourished by thick synovial fluid. It is enclosed by a flexible articular capsule. Most permanent joints I the body are synovial, and of all the types of joints, these allow the greatest range of movement (diarthroses), due to their special form of articulation.
Joint containing synovial fluid which allows a range of movement.
a fully movable joint in which a synovial cavity is present between the two articulating bones.
the most mobile type of joint; found in the shoulders, wrists, fingers, hips, etc
A freely movable joint where the opposing bone surfaces are separated by synovial fluid; a diarthrosis.
Synovial joints (or diarthroses, or diarthroidal joints) are the most common and most moveable type of joints in the body. As with all other joints in the body, synovial joints achieve movement at the point of contact of the articulating bones. Structural and functional differences distinguish the synovial joints from the two other types of joints in the body, with the main structural difference being the existance of a cavity between the articulating bones and the occupation of a fluid in that cavity which aids movement.
