Joints :
- The place inside body where two or more bones meet is known as joints.
Joints are mainly divided into three types :
- Immovable or fixed joints
- Slightly movable joints
- Freely movable joints
1. Immovable or fixed joints :
- Joints which do not allow any movement are called immovable joints. For example - joints in the skull.
2. Slightly movable joints :
- The joints which allow only a slight movement like bending and rotation called slightly movable joints.
- These joints are present between vertebrae of the backbone and ribs and the breast bone.
3. Freely movable joints :
- The joints which allow free movement of the body parts in different directions are called freely movable joints.
- These joints are mostly present between the limb bones.
