4. synovial joint.
The articulating bone surfaces at a synovial joint are not directly connected to each other with fibrous connective tissue or cartilage but their stability is due to the presence of:
1. fascia.
2. joint capsule.
3. tendon sheath.
4. aponeurosis.
The synovial fluid in the synovial cavity is secreted by:
1. both articulating bone.
2. articular cartilage cells.
3. adipose cells.
4. the synovial membrane.
The atlantooccipital joint is an
1. suture.
2. ellipsoid joint.
3. saddle joint.
4. pivot joint.
The synovial joint is also called as:

1. | gomphoses | 2. | syndesmoses |
3. | symphysis | 4. | sutures |
The first carpometacarpal joint at the base of the thumb is a:
1. | ellipsoidal joint | 2. | pivot joint |
3. | saddle joint | 4. | gliding joint |
