Question

what are joints? How can you classify joints based on the Movement they allow?

Answer 1

Answer:

joint is the part of the body where two or more bones meet to allow movement. Generally speaking, the greater the range of movement, the higher the risk of injury because the strength of the joint is reduced. The six types of freely movable joint include ball and socket, saddle, hinge, condyloid, pivot and gliding.

Explanation:

Joints can be classified:

Histologically, on the dominant type of connective tissue. ie fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial.

Functionally, based on the amount of movement permitted. ie synarthrosis (immovable), amphiarthrosis (slightly moveable), and diarthrosis (freely moveable).
