What are characteristics and types of a fibrous joint?

Fibrous connective tissues | Types: Sutures, syndesmoses, gomphoses

What are characteristics and types of a cartilaginous joint?

Contain cartilage | Types: symphyses and synchondroses

What's the difference between a symphysis and a synchondrosis

CT type: Symphysis is a cartilaginous joint joined by fibrocartilage Synchondrosis is a cartilaginous joint joined by hyaline cartilage

What are characteristics and types of synovial joints?

Characteristics: Space between adjoining bones. Articular capsule filled with synovial fluid. Bone ends covered with articular (hyaline) cartilage. Types: Planar, hinge, pivot, condyloid, saddle, ball and socket
