Coccyx
These joints are held together by tough
tissue which develops during childhood.
Immovable or fixed joints (Fibrous)
Immovable or fixed joints
Fibrous
Slightly moveable joints
Cartilaginous
Here, movement is needed but only to a
certain point e.g the vertebral column
Slightly moveable joints (Cartilaginous)
These joints are also called synovial and
allow movement to take place.
Freely moveable joints (Synovial)
Freely moveable joints
Synovial
Example of Immovable or fixed joints
Cranium, pelvis and
vertebrae
It separate the individual vertebrae
cartilage
how many types of synovial joints are there?
6
JOINT that allows the greatest range of movement
Ball and Socket Joint
Ball and Socket Joints are held together by what?
ligaments and tendons
JOINTS that allow extensive flexion and extension (Bending and straightening) with only a small amount of rotation
Hinge Joint
JOINTS that allow only rotation
Pivot Joint
JOINTS that allow flexion and extension through a slight gliding motion between the ends of small bones such as hands and feet.
Gliding Joints
These small bones can
move over one another to
increase the flexibility of the
hands and feet.
Gliding Joints
JOINTS that occur where concave and convex surfaces meet. This joints allow the movement of the joint forward and backwards, and right to left.
Saddle Joint
Within this JOINT the full convex shape of one bone end, fits into the full concave shape of an adjoining bone. This allows for movement in all directions, however full rotations.
Condyloid Joint
Point at which two or more bones meet/ Any place where two bones are joined.
Joint or Articulation
