What are the three histological classifications of joints?
Fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial fluid
What were the three classifications of joints based on movement potential?
Synarthrosis, amphiarthrosis, and diarthrosis
What were the four subclassifications of synarthrosis joints based on Latin groupings?
Suture, gomphosis, schindylesis, and syndesmosis
What were the five types of sutures based on Latin groupings?
Serrate, denticulate, limbous, squamous, and harmonia
What are the characteristics of sutura vera (true sutures)?
Sutures demonstrating interlocking of the adjacent bone surfaces; typically formed by intramembraneous ossification
What were the classifcations of sutura vera (true sutures) based on Latin groupings?
Serrate, denticulate, and limbous
What are the characteristics of sutura notha (false sutures)?
Sutures lacking interlocking of adjacent bone surfaces; typically formed by endochondral ossification
What were the classifications of sutura notha (false sutures) based on Latin groupings?
Squamous and harmonia
What is the classification of a joint with “saw-like” interlock of bone surfaces?
Serrate suture
What is the classification of a joint with “tooth-like” interlock of bone surfaces?
Denticulate suture
What is the classification of a joint with a selvage or fabric border appearance between the adjacent bone surfaces?
Limbous suture
What is the classification of a joint with a “scale-like” appearance of the adjacent bone surfaces?
Squamous suture
What is the classification of a joint demonstrating a relatively flat, abutting appearance of adjacent bone surfaces?
Harmonia suture
