For each joint described below, select an answer from Key A. Then, if the Key A selection is other than C (a synovial joint), see if you can classify the joint further by making a choice from Key B. Key Choices Key A: A. Cartilaginous B. Fibrous C. Synovial Key B: 1. Epiphyseal disk 2. Suture 3. Symphysis 1. Has amphiarthrotic and synarthrotic examples 2. All have a fibrous capsule lined with synovial membrane surrounding a joint cavity 3. Bone regions united by fibrous connective tissue 4. Joints between skull bones 5. Joint between atlas and axis 6. Hip, elbow, and knee 7. All examples are diarthroses 8. Pubic symphysis 9. All are reinforced by ligaments 10. Joint providing the most protection to underlying structures 11. Often contains a fluid-filled cushion 12. Child's long-bone growth plate made of hyaline cartilage 13. Most joints of the limbs 14. Often associated with bursae 15. Have the greatest mobility
