Functional classification
synarthrosis - immovable
amphiarthrosis - slightly moveable
diarthrosis - freely moveable
rotation of forearm
pronation - radius crosses over ulna
palm faces posteriorly
supination - anatomical position
palm faces anteriorly
foot movement
inversion - twist sole medially
eversion - twist sole laterally
structural classification
bony fusion (bone-bone by bone)
fibrous (by collagen)
cartilaginous (by cartilage)
synovial (rane)
synostosis joint
fusion of adjacent bones
suture (fibrous) joint
narrow fibrous joint between skull bones by collagen
synarthrosis
gomphosis (fibrous) joint
fibrous joint anchoring roots of teeth by ligament
synarthrosis
syndesmosis (fibrous) joint
fibrous joint with bones linked by membrane or ligament
amphiarthrosis
synchondrosis (cartilaginous) joint
cartilaginous joint where bones are joined by cartilage or hyaline
synarthrosis
symphysis (cartilaginous) joint
body of 2 bones meet separated by fibrocartilage discs
amphiarthrosis
synovial joint
between bone that move against each other
diarthrosis
bony joints
type-synostosis
functional-synarthrosis
description-fused
eg-left and right frontal bones
feature of synovial joint - articular cartilage
smooth covering
cartilage prevent bones touching
reduce friction
feature of synovial joint - synovial fluid
high protein content (proteoglycans)
secreted by fibroblasts
lubricates
distributes nutrients
shock absorber
feature of synovial joint - joint capsule
fibrous connective tissue
synovial membrane
