The cartilage of joints serves not only to connect different bones,but also as a separating medium.

Fibwis tissue about the joints exists in the form of ligament, some- STNDESMOLOGY. 79 times constituting bands of various breadth and thickness, and some-times layers, which extend around the joints ; these are called capsularligaments. Adipose tissue is found in greater or less quantities about joints,where it serves to fill up vacant spaces, and probably increase theirelasticity. Synovial membrane is the smooth, polished lining of a joint whichsecretes the synovia, and enables opposing surfaces to move upon eachother with the most perfect ease and freedom.

The connecting media of joints are generally named from uomoprominent circumstance in relation to form, position, points of connec-tion, etc., as capsular, surrounding; transverse, running across; occi-pito-axoid, attached to and holding together the occipital and axisbones; lateral, connecting the sides of articulating bones, etc.; hence,except with the most important ligaments, the name will be a sufficientdescription Joints.—The vertebra; are held together by thefollowing ligaments : 1.
