• location in the body
• the composition of the joint
• the number of bones that joint affects
• degree of movement possible at the joint

Which of the following is NOT a purpose of synovial fluid?

• lubricate joint
• reduce friction
• provide shock absorption

Synchondroses (along epiphyseal growth plate) and Symphyses (midline of hip bones) are examples of...

• fibrous joints
• cartilaginous joints
• synovial joints
• diarthroses

Hip and shoulder have examples of this type of joint

• ball and socket
• condyloid
