This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Joint Size, Shape, Movement, Movement (locomotion) including Volant (flying), Synovial Joints vary in Number of elements, Mobility governed by Dynamic Constraints, Mobility governed by Bearing Surfaces, Synovial Joints vary in Size, Many e.g. Carpal, Stability governed by Static Constraints, Physiological Functions primarily Stability, small typical of ear ossicles, Number of elements can be Two, Mobility governed by Static Constraints, Geometry varies with Movement (locomotion), Physiological Functions primarily Mobility, Adaptation e.g. Plantigrade, Synovial Joints vary in Shape, Nearly Incongruent e.g. Femoro-tibial, Nearly Congruent e.g. Coxo-femoral, Shape extremes Nearly Incongruent, Mobility governed by Geometry, Movement (locomotion) including Saltatorial (hop)
