Joints Flashcards
synarthrotic movement and stability
little to no movement very stable
Diarthrotic movement and stability
high degree of mobility, relatively unstable
amphiarthrotic movement and stability
moderate amount of movement, moderate stability
Three structural classifications of a joint
Fibrous, Cartiagenous, Synovial
what is structural classification based on?
Based on joint structure, Presence of joint capsule, synovium, cartilage
where are suture joints found?
Skull
What is the functional classification of a suture joint
synarthrotic
Where are Gomphosis found
in the teeth, maxilla, mandible
What is the functional classification of a Gomphosis joint?
Synarthrotic
what is the functional classification of a syndemosis joint
Amphiarthroitic
syndesmosis Description

Condyloid description
oval shaped convex bone articulating with oval shaped concavity in another.
Condyloid movement
