FUNCTION: provides support, protection, movement, mineral storage, energy storage, blood cell formation

STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS: bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, articulations

no osteons! trabeculae, osteocytes, extracellular matrix, located at the ends of long bones and inside all other bones. location of red bone marrow.

epiphyses, diaphysis, epiphyseal line, medullary cavity (marrow), periosteon (outside covering), articular cartilage (on both distal & proximal epiphyses)

gelationous material, blood cell formation, not part of bone tissues, as embryo/fetus it fills all spaces inside bones until about age 7. as adults it's in the vertebrae, coxal bones, sternum, ribs, skull

osteogenic cells (stem cells), osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts

plane joint: nonaxial movement (ex: intercarpal joints) flat articular surfaces, gliding

hinge joint: uniaxial movement (ex: elbow joints) flexion, extension.

suture: bones connected by short interconnecting fibers (found only in skull) no movement!

synchondrosis: two bones that come together by catilage (ex: epiphyseal plate) no movement!

symphasis: hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage (ex: pubic symphysis) slight movement

pivot joint: uniaxial movement (ex: proximal radioulnar joints) vertical axis-rotation

condylar joint: biaxial movement (ex: wrist joints) flexion, extension, adduction, abduction

saddle joint: biaxial movement (ex: thumb joints) medial/lateral, anterior/posterior, adduction, abduction, flexion, extension

ball and socket joint: multiaxial movement (ex: hip joints) medial/lateral, anterior/posterior, vertical, adduction, abduction, rotation, flexion, extension, THE MOST ACTION JOINT!
