Q

How are joints classified structurally?

A

Bony - fibrous joints that have not yet ossified

Fibrous - short collagen fibers

Cartilaginous - hyaline or fibrocartilage

Synovial - has synovial cavity

They are classified according to the major connective tissue type that binds the bones together and whether a fluid filled joint capsule is present.
