Question

The adult skeleton consists of 206 separate bones. Bones of the appendicular skeleton form the brain ease and vertebral column The upper extremities and the lower extremities are subdivisions of the axial skeleton The mandible and the temporal bone form the only movable joint within the structure of the face An immovable joint in the skull is called a fontanel. An articulation is a point of contact between bones. A symphysis is a joint in which bones are connected by fibrous bands. Syndesmotic joints have hyaline cartilage at articular surfaces. A pivot joint is a form of a uniaxial joint. Condyloid (ellipsoidal) joints are biaxial joints in which one bone fits into a depression on no bone. The hip joint is the Largest and most vulnerable joint A "slipped disk" b the result of deterioration of the nucleus pulposus. There are more synovial joints in the body than any other type of joint The gomphoses joint is the most complex joint in the body. The periodontal membrane is part of a fibrous joint
