Locomotor apparatus		diarthrosis, joint capsule including an outer fibrous and an inner synovial membrane that secretes the synovial fluid. Articular cartilage
Articular system		more than two bones (fermoro-tibia-patella joint)
Fibrous joint		syndesmosis and symphysis
Cartilaginous joint		joint is closed at the sagital plane
Ossified over time		extra-articular synovial diverticulum that is generally located where the fibrous membrane is thinner or absent
Not ossified over time		connective tissue band that connects 2 bones or cartilage together
Synovial joint		translation only
Simple		connects a bone to a muscle
Compound		suture and synchrondrosis
Spheroid/ ball and socket		musculoskeletal system which enables movement
Saddle		similar to an articular recess (but at the synovial vagina). It is developed where the tendinous sheath is thin or absent
Condylar		3 axis of movement (coxofemoral joint)
Hinge		a joint is the connection made between bones in the body which links the skeletal system into a functional whole
Pivot		2 axis of movement (carpus joint)
Plane		joint is open at the sagital plane
Ligament		1 axis of movement (rotate)
Tendon		segment is pushed away from the medial plane
Articular recess/pouch		two bones (scapulo-humeral joint)
Tendinous recess/pouch		lateral rotation of the antebrachial segment
Flexion		synarthrosis, no articular cartilage, suture and syndesmosis
Extension		special type of condylar joint (elbow joint)
Abduction		segment is moved closer to the medial plant
Adduction		amphiarthrosis, no articular cartilage, synchrondrosis and symphysis
Pronation		medial rotation of the antebrachial segment
Supanation		1 axis of movement (femoro-tibiral joint)
