Clues

  • a ball shaped head of one bones articulates with a cup like socket of an adjacent bone (4, 3, 6)
  • a slippery fluid contained within the joint cavity (8, 5)
  • a thin layer of glassy-smooth substance that covers the end of long bones to prevent friction (9, 9)
  • a tough fibrous tissue that helps strengthen the joint (5, 7)
  • articulating surfaces are almost flat and of a similar size (7, 5)
  • begins in the diaphysis and then occurs in the epiphysis (12)
  • free movement but least stable (8, 5)
  • little movement means its stable (13, 5)
  • no movement but most stable (7, 5)
  • similar to ball and socket but with much flatter articulating surfaces forming a much shallow joint (9, 5)
