  2. Plane joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_joint

    A plane joint (arthrodial joint, gliding joint, plane articulation) is a synovial joint which, under physiological conditions, allows only gliding movement. Plane joints permit sliding movements in the plane of articular surfaces. The opposed surfaces of the bones are flat or almost flat, with movement limited by their tight joint capsules.

  3. Synovial membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synovial_membrane

    The outer layer, or subintima, can be of almost any type of connective tissue – fibrous (dense collagenous type), adipose (fatty; e.g. in intra-articular fat pads) or areolar (loose collagenous type). The inner layer (in contact with synovial fluid), or intima, consists of a sheet of cells thinner than a piece of paper.

  4. Synovial joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synovial_joint

    A multiaxial joint, such as the hip joint, allows for three types of movement: anterior-posterior, medial-lateral, and rotational. A multiaxial joint (polyaxial joint or triaxial joint) is a synovial joint that allows for several directions of movement. [9] In the human body, the shoulder and hip joints are multiaxial joints. [10]

  5. Role of skin in locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role_of_Skin_in_Locomotion

    Another commonly observed connective tissue fiber range is when the connective tissue fibers are embedded within a muscle layer. This arrangement of connective tissue fibers creates a stiffer body wall and more muscle antagonism, which allows for more elastic force to be generated and released during movement. [4]

  6. Synovial bursa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synovial_bursa

    A synovial bursa, usually simply bursa (pl.: bursae or bursas), is a small fluid-filled sac lined by synovial membrane with an inner capillary layer of viscous synovial fluid (similar in consistency to that of a raw egg white). It provides a cushion between bones and tendons and/or muscles around a joint. This helps to reduce friction between ...

  7. Human musculoskeletal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_musculoskeletal_system

    The extra-cellular connective tissue between muscle fibers binds to tendons at the distal and proximal ends, and the tendon binds to the periosteum of individual bones at the muscle's origin and insertion. As muscles contract, tendons transmit the forces to the relatively rigid bones, pulling on them and causing movement.

  8. Joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.

  9. Sliding filament theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliding_filament_theory

    The sliding filament theory explains the mechanism of muscle contraction based on muscle proteins that slide past each other to generate movement. [1] According to the sliding filament theory, the myosin ( thick filaments ) of muscle fibers slide past the actin ( thin filaments ) during muscle contraction, while the two groups of filaments ...
