classification of three main joints
Fibrous joints Cartilaginous joints Synovial joints
what is a fibrous joint
Dense connective tissues connect bones
Between bones in close contact
what is Cartilaginous joints
Hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage connect bones
what is Synovial joints
Most complex
Allow free movement
what is synarthrotic joints
Functional classification: Synarthrotic joints Considered immovable Amphiarthrotic joints Slightly movable Diarthrotic joints Freely movable
what is Amphiarthrotic joint
Slightly movable
what is Diarthrotic joints
Freely movable
There are three (3) types of fibrous joints
Syndesmosis
Suture
Gomphosis
what tissue holds fibrous joints together
Dense connective
what is syndesmosis
A sheet or bundle of fibrous tissue connecting bones
syndesmosis lies between what
tibia and fibula
what is amphiarthritic
slight movement in the joint
what are suture
Between flat bones
where would you find a suture
skull
