joints are classified how?
by structure (anatomy)
and function (type of movement)
what are the structural classifications of joints?
fibrous
cartilaginous
synovial
what are the functional classifications of joints?
synarthrosis (immoveable)
amphiarthrosis (partialy moveable)
diarthrosis (freely moveable)
what is another name for synovial joints?

of a thin layer of dense fibrous connective tissue
that unites skull bones?
suture
what is a cartilaginous joint in which the
connecting material is hyaline cartilage.
(see hint)

symphysis
what are the 2 layers of the articular capsule?
the outer fibrous capsule (which may contain ligaments)
the inner synovial membrane (which secretes synovial fluid)
what type of joint is 2 flat surfaces articulating with one another,
allowing for side-to-side and back & forth movements?
gliding or planar joints
what type of joint is the convex surface of one bone
articulating into a concave surface of another.
hinge joint
what type of joint is a rounded surface of one bone articulating with a ring.
pivot joint

fitting into a depression of another bone?
condyloid
what type of synarthrosis is the rib cage?
synchondrosis
what is the structural difference between a
synchondrosis and a symphasis?
they are both cartilagenous,
but a symphasis has connective tissue made of fibrocartilage
while synchondrosis has connective tissue made of hyaline cartilage
the bones at a synovial joint are covered
by a layer of hyaline cartilage called what?
articular cartilage
what does articular cartilage do?
reduces friction between bones
and helps to absorb shock
the structural classification of a joint is based on 2 criteria.
what ?
1. the presence or absence of a space between the articulating bones.
2. the type of connective tissue that binds the bones together
articulations are supported by what 3 things?
ligaments
joint capsules
surrounding muscles
what type of joints are

gliding or planar joints
what type of joint has movement in 1 plane
