Answer:
Fibrous Joints
- This type of joint is also called synarthrodial. It is held together by just a ligament.
- Examples are where the teeth are held to their bony sockets and at both the radioulnar and tibiofibular joints
Cartilaginous joints
- Cartilaginous (synchondroses and symphyses): These joints occur where the connection between the articulating bones is made up of cartilage. For example, between vertebrae in the spine.
- Synchondroses are temporary joints which are only present in children, up until the end of puberty. For example, the epiphyseal plates in long bones.
- Symphysis joints are permanent cartilaginous joints, for example, the pubic symphysis.
Synovial Joints
- Synovial (diarthrosis): Synovial joints are by far the most common classification of a joint within the human body.
- They are highly moveable and all have a synovial capsule (collagenous structure) surrounding the entire joint, a synovial membrane (the inner layer of the capsule) which secretes synovial fluid (a lubricating liquid) and cartilage known as hyaline cartilage which pads the ends of the articulating bones.
- There are 6 types of synovial joints which are classified by the shape of the joint and the movement available.
