  2. Joint probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_probability_distribution

    t. e. Given two random variables that are defined on the same probability space, [ 1 ] the joint probability distribution is the corresponding probability distribution on all possible pairs of outputs. The joint distribution can just as well be considered for any given number of random variables. The joint distribution encodes the marginal ...

  3. Joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint

    Joint. A joint or articulation (or articular surface) is the connection made between bones, ossicles, or other hard structures in the body which link an animal's skeletal system into a functional whole. [1][2][3] They are constructed to allow for different degrees and types of movement.

  4. Synovial joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synovial_joint

    A synovial joint, also known as diarthrosis, join bones or cartilage with a fibrous joint capsule that is continuous with the periosteum of the joined bones, constitutes the outer boundary of a synovial cavity, and surrounds the bones' articulating surfaces. This joint unites long bones and permits free bone movement and greater mobility. [1]

  5. Acromioclavicular joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acromioclavicular_joint

    The acromioclavicular joint provides the ability to raise the arm above the head. This joint functions as a pivot point (although technically it is a gliding synovial joint), acting like a strut to help with movement of the scapula resulting in a greater degree of arm rotation.

  6. Knee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee

    Articular surfaces of femur Articular surfaces of tibia. The knee is a modified hinge joint, a type of synovial joint, which is composed of three functional compartments: the patellofemoral articulation, consisting of the patella, or "kneecap", and the patellar groove on the front of the femur through which it slides; and the medial and lateral tibiofemoral articulations linking the femur, or ...

  7. Facet joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facet_joint

    The facet joint is the joint between the inferior articular process (labeled at bottom) and the superior articular process (labeled at top) of the subsequent vertebra. The facet joints (also zygapophysial joints, zygapophyseal, apophyseal, or Z-joints) are a set of synovial, plane joints between the articular processes of two adjacent vertebrae.

  8. Cartilaginous joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartilaginous_joint

    Cartilaginous joint. Cartilaginous joints are connected entirely by cartilage (fibrocartilage or hyaline). [1] Cartilaginous joints allow more movement between bones than a fibrous joint but less than the highly mobile synovial joint. Cartilaginous joints also forms the growth regions of immature long bones and the intervertebral discs of the ...

  9. Sacroiliac joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacroiliac_joint

    Sacroiliac joint. Human female pelvis, anterior view, with sacroiliac joint within red ellipse. The sacroiliac joint or SI joint (SIJ) is the joint between the sacrum and the ilium bones of the pelvis, which are connected by strong ligaments. In humans, the sacrum supports the spine and is supported in turn by an ilium on each side.
