Gyrometer
An increase in joint angles is called "flexion." This movement occurs when two body segments decrease the angle between them, such as bending the elbow or knee. In contrast, an increase in angle is referred to as "extension."
A right angle joint is called a vertex as is with any other angle (yes even straight angles)
Increasing the angle at a joint is known as extension in anatomical terms. This movement occurs when the angle between two bones at a joint increases, such as straightening the arm or leg. It is the opposite of flexion, where the angle decreases. Proper joint angles are crucial for maintaining mobility and preventing injuries.
The three parts are faces, vertices and edges. The faces are the flat surfaces, the edges are the lines that joint the corners which are called vertices.
Seperate the articulating surfaces. Makes the joint more stable minimizes wear and tear on joint surfaces

ankylosis of a joint means fusion of the articular surfaces renderring the joint immobile
A gilding joint is a synovial joint in which bony surfaces that a joint hold are flat or slightly round.
The contacting cushioning surfaces of a moving joint like your hip joint consist of cartilage. Cartilage is a smooth, rubbery connective tissue that helps to reduce friction and absorb shock between bones in a joint.
Plane Joint.
the general term for the specific movements of joint surfaces. Normal joint surface movement is necessary to ensure long-term joint integrity. (Joint surface movements are sometimes called joint play motions or component motions). Joint surfaces move with respect to one another by simultaneously (1) rolling, (2) gliding, and (3) spinning.

Hyaline cartilage is found on the joint surfaces.
The joint between the sacrum and the hip bone is the sacroiliac joint. It is also known as the SI joint. They form the articular surfaces.
