Definition
Fibrous ( tooth & wall of its detal socket)
Term
Cartilaginous
Definition
either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage between two bones
Term
synovial joint
Definition
cavity filled with synovial fluid contained within a sleevelike capsule
Term
Nonaxial joint
Definition
movements tends to be linear instead of angular.

Ligaments
Definition
Bones held together (bone to bone)
Term
Synovial memebrane
Definition
Thick vascular connective tissue that secretes synovial fluid
Term

Sprains
Definition
Partial or complete tearing of ligaments fibers
Term
Strains
Definition
Overstretching of muscle fibers
Term
Soft tissue stretch
Definition
firm sensation that has slight give when joint taken to end range (tension)
Term
Soft tissue approximation
Definition
muscle bulk is compressed(elbow flexion)
Term

Term
Roll
Definition
rolling of one joint surface on another, new points on each surface comes into contact throughtout the motion
Term
Glide or Slide
Definition
Linear movement of joint surface parallel to the plane of the adjoining joint surface- one point on a joint surface contacts new points on the adjacent surface
Term
Spin
Definition
Rotationof the movable joint surface on the fixed surface
Term
Spin
Definition
Rotation of the movable joint surface on the fixed surface
Term

Definition
Muscles ability to stretch or lengthen when a force is applied
Term
Elasticity
Definition
muscle's ability to recoil or return to normal resting
Term
Active insufficiency
Definition
point at which a muscle cannot shorten any farther
Term
Passive insufficiency
Definition
When a muscle cannot be elongated any farther without damage to its fibers
