What is a tendon?
Very strong, non-elastic cords that join muscle to bone
11 of 27
What is bursae?

What is a joint capsule?
Tissue that stops synovial fluid from escaping and encloses, supports and holds bones together
13 of 27
What are ligaments?
Bands of elastic fibre that attach bone to bone, keeping the joints stable by restricting movement
14 of 27
What is synovial fluid?
A clear and slippery liquid that lubricates the joint and stops the bones rubbing together
15 of 27
What is cartilage?
A tough byt flexible tissue that acts as a buffer between the bones, preventing bones rubbing together causing friction

What is flexion?
Decreasing the angle at a joint
22 of 27
What is abduction?
Moving a limb away from the midline of the body
