Sutures are found

• between vertebrae

• only in the skull

• in the knee and elbow joints

Sutures

• allow no movement between bones

• are slightly movable joint

• are freely movable joint

A syndesmosis joint  would most likely be found

• between bones of the skull

• between a tooth and its socket

• between the tibia and fibula

Joint cavities are a feature of

• fibrous joints

• cartilaginous joints

• synovial joints

A synovial joint would most likely occur 

• between bones in the skull

• in the shoulder joint

• between vertebrae

Slightly movable joints are classified as 

• fibrous joints

• cartilaginous joints

• synovial joints

The joints between vertebrae would be classified as

• synovial joints

• cartilaginous joints

• fibrous joints

Meniscus and Bursae are found in

• fibrous joints

• cartilaginous joints

• synovial joints

What type of joint movement is created by turning a bone around its own axis?
