Question: Identify the muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg The leg is divided into three compartments by tough fasciae to hold the muscles and proper functioning of these muscles during their contraction.

Task 2 I will be explaining the functions of the different components and types of synovial joints and explain the structure and function of cartilaginous and fixed joints. Most of the joints are synovial and contain synovial fluid which is a lubricating liquid. These are found in the limbs where mobility is important. A synovial joint is also known as a Diarthrosis which are freely movable joints. These types of synovial joints are the largest group with the greatest variations and can be found

Elbow Joint The elbow joint is a very complex hinge joint located between the distal end of the humerus in the upper region of the proximal ends of the ulna and radius.
