a point of contact between two bones, between bone and carilage, or between bone and teeth is called a:
articulation or joint
when we say one bone articulates with another bone we mean:
the bone forms a joint
joints are classified structurally based on their
anatomical characteristics
joints are classified functionally basd on their
type of movement they permit
the structural classification of joints is based on two criteria:
1)the presence of absence of a space between the articulating bones

2)the type of connective tissue that binds the bones together
the presense or absense of a space between the articulating bones is called a
synovial cavity
joint classifications

there is no synovial cavity, and the bones are held together by dense irregular connective tissue that is rich in collagen fibers
fibrous joints
joint classifications


there is no synovial cavity and the bones are held together by cartilage
cartilaginous joints
joint classifications


the bones forming the joint have a synovial cavity and are united by the dense ireegular connective tissue of an articular capsule, and often by accessory ligaments.
synovial joints
joint classifications

an immovable joint.
synarthrosis
joint classifications

a slightly movable joint
amphiarthrosis
joint classifications

a freely moveable joint.
diarthrosis
joint classifications

are all snymovial joints. they have a variety of shapes and permit several different types of movements
diarthrosis
joint classifications

most complex and allow free movement
synovial joints
joint classifications

what is a pad of fibrocartilage between bones
symphysis
synovial joints

unique characteristic of a synovial joint is the presense of a
space called a synovial (joint) cavity
synovial joint cavity allows a joint to be ___
and are classified as ___
freely moveable

diarthroses
synovial joints

the bones are covered by a layer of hyaline cartilage called
articular cartilage
reduces friction between bones in the joint during movement and helps to absorb shock
articular cartilage
synovial joints

resists wear and minimizes friction when it is compressed at the joint
articular cartilage
synovial joints

holds together the bones of a synovial joint
joint capsule
synvoial joint

reinforce the joint capsule and help bind the articular ends of the bones
ligament
synovial joints

covers all the surfaces within the joint capsule except that covered by articular cartilage
synovial membrane
synovial joints

discs of fibrocartilage that divide some synovial joints
menisci
synovial joints

fluid-filled sacs that cushion and aid movement of tendons
bursae
