No movement allowed of joints
Synarthroses
Small movement allowed of joints
Amphiarthroses
Freely movable
Diarthroses
Ex: Structures between the skull bones, epiphyseal plates.
Synarthroses
Ex: Pubic symphysis, gomphosis, syndesmosis (ligament between tibia and fibula)
Amphiarthrosis
Ex: Knee, shoulder
Diarthroses
Structural classification of joints: dense regular connective tissue
Fibrous 
Structural classification of joints: cartilage
Cartilaginous
Structural classification of joints: joint cavity between bones
Synovial
Ex: skull bones, gomphosis, syndesmosis
Fibrous
Structural classification of joints: Hyaline: epiphyseal plate, joint between sternum and first rib
Fibrocartilage: intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis
Cartilaginous
Structural classification of joints: knee, shoulder
Synovial
separates bones, filled with synovial fluid
Joint cavity
Fibrous outer layer and inner synovial membrane
Articular capsule
Fills joint cavity and provides lubrication
Synovial fluid
Pads that provide cusion and improve articulation
Menisci
fluid filled sack that minimizes friction between bones
Bursa
wraps around tendons and acts similar to a bursa
Tendon sheath
Represents synchondroses
Epiphyseal plates and the joint between the sternum and the first rib
