Chapter 8 - Joints of the Skeletal System Flashcards
Articulations
Joints
Classified structurally by the type of tissue that binds the bones at each junction
Joints
Can also be grouped functionally according to the degree of movement possible at the bony junctions
Joints
Synarthrotic joints
Immovable joints
Slightly movable joints
Amphiarthrotic
Freely movable joints
Diarthrotic
How are joints classified
Structurally or functionally
What is a joint?
A functional junction between bones
