Amphitoreses

By admin | January 31, 2010

Joints with limited movement (amphiarthroses). Some manuals identify a group of articulations which differ in the shape of the articular surfaces but are similar in some They reduce jolts and shocks between the bones. The midcarpal joint is an example of such articulation.other features: they have a short, tightly stretched articular capsule and a very strong auxillary apparatus, particularly short reinforcing ligaments, which cannot be stretched. As a result the articulating surfaces are in close contact, which limits movements sharply. Such joints permitting only limited movement are called amphiarthroses (BNA).
