Fibrous Joints
bones held together by dense collagen fibers
Cartilaginous Joints
bones held together by cartilidge
Synovial Joint
bones held together by ligiments
List the three STRUCTURAL classifications of joints.
Fibrous Joints
Cartilaginous Joints
Synovial Joints
List the three FUNCTIONAL classifications of joints.
Synarthrosis
Amphiarthrosis
Diarthrosis
Synarthrosis
an immovable joint
Amphiarthrosis
a slightly movable joint
Diarthrosis
a freely movable joint
Fibrous Joints
-Lack a synovial cavity
-held closely together by dense irregular connective tissue
-permit little to no movement
Three types of Fibrous Joints
-Sutures
-Syndesmoses
-Gomphoses
Sutures
Occur only between the bones of the skull
Syndesmoses
-Permit slight movement
-Interossesous membrane
-between the tibia and fibula of the the leg
Gomphoses
-Immovable joint
-Joint in which a cone shaped peg fits into a socket
-articulations of the teeth with the sockets of the maxillae and mandible
Cartilaginous Joints
-Lack a synovial cavity
-allows little to no movement
-joint is tightly connected by either cartilidge
Two types of Cartilaginous Joints
-Synchondroses
-Symphyses
Synchondroses
-Connecting tissue in hyaline cartilidge
-Epiphyseal (growth) plate
Symphyses
-Slightly movable joint
-Ends of articulating bones, a fibrocartilage connects the bones.
Pubic Symphyses
Between the anterior surfaces of the hip bone

Intervetebral joints between the vertebraes.
Synovial Joints
Allows a joint to move freely

Ligaments hold bones together in synovial joint
Articular Capsule
a sleeve like capsule encloses the synovial cavity.
Two layers of the Articular Capsule
A outer fibrous capsule
An inner synovial membrane
Synovial Fluid
fluid sectreted by the synovial membrane
Four Functions of Synovial Fluid
-Lubricating the joint
-absorbing shocks
-supplying oxygen and nutrients to the cartilidge
-removing C02 and metabolic waste from the cartilidge.
