Name and describe three classes of joints based on structure
Fibrous Joints: NO synovial cavity, and the bones are held together by fibrous CT (Rich in Collagen fiber).
Cartilaginous Joints: NO Synovial cavity, and the bones are held together by cartilage.
Synovial Joints: Bone forming joints HAVE synovial cavity, and are united by dense irregular CT
