ARTICULATION OF THE LOWER JAW. 49 partly ligament and partly cartilage : found in the ear, at the sym- physis pubis, and between the vertebree. Ligmnents consist o^ fibrous tissue, Ox^ which there are two kinds, white and yellow / an example of the white is found in tendons, fasciae, and most of the ligaments ; the yellow is found in the liga- mentum nuchse, and in many vessels and ducts. It is elastic. Ligaments are called capsular when they are bag-like, as at the shoulder and hip ; funicular, when cord-like, and membranous when like a riband. Synovial membranes are thin, transparent, closed serous sacs, lining capsular ligaments, and secreting an albuminous fluid called synovia, which resembles in appearance the white of an egg. It lubricates the joints, and prevents attrition. Masses of fat outside of the synovial membranes are usually called glands of Havers. They do not secrete, however, but serve a mechanical purpose in the mechanism, filling up spaces which would otherwise be formed in many articulations during the performance of certain movements. The synovial fringes are nothing but folds of this membrane in- cluding small portions of fat. The principal kind of articulations are termed : Synarthrosis, implying immobility, and including Sutura.—Bones of the skull. Harmonia.—Superior maxillary bones. Schindylesis.—Vomer with processus azygos. Gomphosis.—Teeth with alveoli. Amphiarthrosis implies partial motion, and is exemplified in the symphyses and bodies of vertebroe. DiARTHRosis is a movable articulation, and includes— Arthrodia.—Tarsal and carpal bones. Ginglymus.—Elbow—wrist—hinge-like. Enarthrodia.—Hip, shoulder, ball and socket. ARTICULATION OF LOWER JAW. Capsular Ligament.—Extends from the border of the glenoid ca- vity of the temporal bone, and surro
