2 types of caritalage
hyaline and fibrocartilage
3 components of articulations
bones, cartilage, fibrous (dense) connective tissue
articulations are classifies by
degree of movement
immovable
synarthrosis
slightly movable
amphiarthrosis
freely movable
diarthrosis
bones fastened together by thin bands of fibrous connective tissue
fibrous structure
joint consists of broad fibrous bands to form interosseous ligament; movement classification = amphiathorosis
syndesmosis
only between flat bones of the skull (sutural ligament); movement classification = synarthrosis
suture
articulation between tooth root and bony socket (periodontal ligament); synarthrosis
gomphosis
connection consist of hyaline cartilage and/or fibrocartilage
cartilaginous
bones united by a plate of hyaline cartilage; movement classification = synarthrosis (1st rib and sternum)
synchondrosis
bone articular surfaces covered by hyaline cartilage, which in turn is attached to a thick pad of fibrocartilage; classification = amphiarthrosis
symphysis
space between articulating bones filled with synovial fluid
